Penang Part Deux

You all already know that I'm a big fan of Penang. Well I can't help but to keep bringing back friends! This time, we tried Roti Telur, similar to the Roti Canai, but stuffed with egg and onions, served with curry dipping sauce. Mango Chicken, served in mango shells, Thai Mango Salad, Baby Oyster Pancake, Watercress in fermented Tofu sauce, for our vegetable dish.

The Roti Telur is quite filling, good but different because you lose a little bit of the elasticity in the bread since they cut it up for you. The Baby Oyster Pancake is simply an omelette with baby oysters, it was both crispy and savor, simply delicious with the spicy chili dipping sauce.

The Thai Mango Salad is quite good with a mixture of sweet and tart and spiciness the contrast of the crispy calamari mixed in gives this salad a welcome crunch.


The Mango Chicken is sweet and tangy, could have been a little spicer but that could be just me. I'm quite the Hot Head :).

The Watercress sauteed in Tofu sauce has a depth of flavor you would not expect from such a simple combination. This one is truly a must try!

Last but not least we ordered the Malaysian Eggplant in Shrimp paste sauce. This was a wonderfully delightful dish, where the eggplant was tender and salty and savory, just the right consistency to go with the rest of the meal.
