PENANG FU-UUUT!

Hey, people! I have really, really neglected my blog for a long time. Well, recently i'm searching penang food from net that i have never try before. No dare to say out that i have studied in penang for year and half but never try so many famous food. So before i have to start my uni life in somewhere else, I MUST TRY.

AIS TINGKAP

In penang, we always go for ice kacang and cendol as our desert. I found a hawker stall called 'Ais Tingkap' or 'Window Sherbet’ because the chilled sherbet drink was sold over the window when it first started in Penang. It is a sweet red colour flavored (rose essence) drink chilled with fine shaved ice served in chilled glass with pieces of coconut flesh.

Rose essence, in my opinion mostly chinese people don't like to drink it. But for me, i can accept it for sometimes. Let me show you how it is made.

This drink was created in the late 1920's. Of course over the years, this drink has undergone some changes. From the information, i found that in the olden days, they used 25 different herbs and ingrediens whereas now they only uses a few. Why? I don't know.

But people commented that is true, very unique kind of thirst killing drink! So lovely so delicious. :)
As i know, this hawker stall is located in Tamil Street/Penang Road, beside Chowrasta Market. And it is closed on Sunday. RM1.50 per glass is a nice complement with all the snacks that are sold around there, worth la worth la!

ICEBALL
Seriously, I ate cendol in penang road a few times. But i don't know besides cendol, we can make a request for their colourful iceball. How come i just know it recently? Seee, as i said at beginning, i dare not say i'm 'penang ka'.

But iceball is seldom seen nowadays and was once a very favourable item and loved by many children. My mum told me she likes to eat when kid. And she said it does bring back old memories when she remembered buying this type of iceball, at only RM0.10 cents after school hours.
Last time i went there for cendol, i and my friends all just stand around the stall eating the cendol. And it brings me fun lot, i love the way. :)

Oooh my, i think it is fun then holding the cold iceball with my bare hands. This is the best when the wheather is like oven hot for now. THIS I MUST GO!

But now, one such iceball douse with sarsi and red sugar syrup cost RM0.80. I wish I could see more of this iceball around town. Okay, it's open from 11pm-7pm.

COCONUT JELLY
I have tried this before in my hometown and mum bought it from pasar sri rambai. She told me rm4 each, but if you want have a try in penang, the price i don't know. But rm4 for each is quite expensive but if you never eat before, must try. It's super duper yummy and i could finished whole one.

Inside, you will get the yummy coconut flesh but with less coconut water as some of it has formed into jelly. You will be surprise to find a large amount of smooth jelly in there. Wooooo!

It's located at Jalan Dato Keramat, and it's near my college last. I saw the shop before, i walked pass the shop before, one thing is I NEVER STEP IN BEFORE. Okay, i'm regret. The shop is open for business from early morning to late afternoon. Last time i passed by the shop, it's always full a lot of people standing while enjoy drinking their coconut drinks beside road. And it's hard to find parking, i tell you!


If you know where have yummy food in penang, i welcome you to tell me. Happy sunday, BYE!
