Saturday eating Frenzy

Last Saturday, I went to a biz trip up north with my sis. After a 4 hour drive up north from dawn till morning, the Penangite flew our kite... -_-" So, as disappointed as we were, we are indeed already in the island. So, a biz-trip-turned-sour was transformed into a EATING-FRENZY-TRIP to balance off our emotions :)

After getting some local products as souveniers back to KL, the frenzy begins...

Penang is a place famous for eateries, needless to say. So, we asked the pretty lady from the souvenier shop for recommendations and she managed to guide 2 Penang blind fellows to the eatery.

On our way there, we realize that Penang is full of entrepreneurs, naming their businesses with their own names, or even their gender... -_-"

I cant read Mandarin, not sure if this furniture shop reflects the NAME or the GENDER -_-"

After a few spin here and there, we arrived at "Sister's Fried Kuey Tiow"


We arrived there just slightly pass lunch time. This is IMPORTANT TO NOTE as apparently, there is a "shift" in that kopitiam. So, we waited around 30 minutes when the other sister was preparing for her shift. The kopitiam was almost full with patrons and empty tables, all waiting for the signature dish.

Both hungry & angry, we ordered a Mee Jawa first, which was aweeeeeeeeeeeesome.

After a plate of mee jawa, the other sister finally kicks in and begin her magic show...
"Hot stuff" coming through... I mean the kuey tiow, sadly...

With prawns as big as my fat thumb and minced crab meat, I finished my plate within 3 minutes, don't even have time to take picture of it. I almost had an orgasm eating the kuey tiow...

The portion is relatively smaller than what you get in KL, and adding extra prawns will cost you RM5 per plate - still worth it.

I feel like ordering another plate... I guess its the norms around here. I believe patrons enjoy the dish so much, they literally eat, clear their stomach, order again, shit again, eat again and goes on, until the kopitiam have to warn them not to settle their "personal business" in the restaurant itself.

Please be reminded to crap in the toilet ONLY!

Too bad there are not enough pictures to describe my frenzy that day. So, in a nutshell, the entire trip involes the frenzy as of below:

On my way to/in Penang:
Tosais @ KL > Croissants @ Starbucks Gurney Plaza >
Mee Jawa @ Lam Heng > Kuey Tiow @ Sister's > Asam Laksa @ around Kek Lok Si

On my way Back from Penang:
Taugeh Chicken Hor Fun @ Ipoh > Tapao-ed Salted Chicken @ Ipoh > Tapao-ed Curry Chicken Bread @ Ipoh > Tapao-ed Pillow Dumpling @ Ipoh

When I reached KL:
Pillow Dumpling for supper...

When I woke up the next day:
Gained
2 - 3 kilograms... with a smile on my face :)
