Penang Road Chendol

I came here with some relatives who came back from America for a visit. 

They wanted to fill their tummies with as much Malaysian food as possible before flying back. And when we sent them to catch their flight in Penang, it became a chance to go eating around. Our relatives used to patronise the stalls at Penang Road many long years ago... And so there we went.

Penang Road Chendol.

I wonder what's with the crazy long queue for the cendol. Uncle and auntie queued, so we queued. Wasted my calories!!! Imagine the palm syrup and coconut milk! That's my sugar quota for the day! That makes me so geram leh.

After wasting my calories at the roadside Penang Road Chendol, we walked a Penang Road 'Chendul' shop. More regrets.

The Penang Nyonya Otak was the only thing we nodded our heads. Soft custardy steamed fish with the right amount of spice and seasonings. 

Laksa... Better go eat elsewhere, seriously 

Rojak , like that only. Okla, so so. 

So what made this place so popular, with all the proof pasted on the walls?? 

Maybe I'm too dumb.

I don't know and I don't understand.

Peng Hwa Lok Lok @ Penang

      .... And this isn't fully laid out yet!!! 

Lok lok is steamboat on skewers. I love steamboat but find lok lok to be costlier than regular steamboat. That is the main deterrent for me to indulge.

But whenever I come to Penang, I yearn for Lok lok, because of the affordability and the type of things they offer. The last time I had it here at Peng Hwa was 8 years ago, before I had my first baby. Now that all 3 kids are bigger, we try to bring them and eat hawker food, rather than just staying in 'child friendly, air conditioned' places.
