During our 3-week stay in Penang in May 2009, whilst I waited stressfully in the hospital, the hubs went food hunting round Penang, Now, he is very familiar with all the well-known makan places in Penang!
The Penang Road famous Teowchew Chendol and Ice Kacang outside Jooi Hooi Cafe.
Whilst I only suggested Chendol, the hubs took a step further. As usual, this ambitious hubs of mine ordered a plate of 'kar liu' char koay teow (with about 4-5 really huge prawns) @ only RM6, a plate of fruit rojak, a bowl of assam laksa and a bowl of ice kacang. My tummy was already a quarter full after chomping down 3 hot Ah Guan apom (my no. 1 favorite food in Penang!) on our way to GMC. By the time we finished these yummy hawkers fare, I felt like puking and told the hubs to ditch the plan of eating seafood for dinner that night.
The Penang Road famous Chendol is stalled just outside Joo Hooi Cafe, at the side.

But guess what, after a light dinner at the Executive Lounge of G Hotel, we walked to Gurney Drive and digged into some popular Penang hawkers food and ate under the drizzle !

I love that place too but always known it to be "Cendol on Keng Kwee St.". We'd walk from the hotel all the way to Prangin mall, and always stop for cendol. Makes me homesick....
Hi, we were there just a week before you, the cendol is still marvellous, although the assam laksa was a disappointment. i still love their lo bak and stuff... brought back some penang durian still sitting in my fridge now. glad Cass is doing fine...
