BEST EVER Penang Street Food Tour in Malaysia 🇲🇾 I Nasi Kandar + Loh Bak + Char Hor Fun + Ais Kacang

Penang's culinary reflects its diverse cultural heritage. Guided by the knowledgeable Wei Shen Ooi from Simply Enak, the Penang street food tour was an immersive journey through the heart of George Town, where we explored a mix of traditional Malay, Chinese, and Indian dishes, as well as unique fusion cuisines like Baba Nyonya, which meld regional ingredients with Chinese and Malay cooking techniques.
Our first stop was Nasi Kandar Kapitan Maju, where we indulged in the iconic Nasi Kandar. This traditional meal featured rice accompanied by a variety of curries and side dishes, including crispy fried chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and perfectly boiled eggs. The rich, flavorful curries made for a satisfying start to the tour.
Next, we visited Tea Kadai, a local tea stall known for its signature Teh Tarik. Watching the preparation of this creamy and frothy hot milk tea was a treat in itself, as the tea decoction and milk were expertly poured back and forth between cups to create the perfect texture.
In the bustling streets of Queen Street, we stopped at Penang Famous Samosa to sample their Chicken Samosa. These deep-fried triangular pastries were stuffed with a sweet and spicy mixture of onions, tomatoes, chicken, and aromatic spices, offering a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
At a humble cart along Gat Lebuh Melayu, we warmed up with a comforting bowl of Kuey Tiao Soup. The flat rice noodles swam in a rich chicken broth, enhanced by the flavors of pork lard, fish balls, shredded chicken, and a sprinkle of chopped coriander and fried garlic. Alongside, we enjoyed a Hor Ka Sai, a popular chilled beverage made with Milo, coffee, condensed milk, and ice-a perfect balance to the savory soup.
Our journey continued at the lively Presgrave Street Hawker Center, where we sampled a variety of local delights. The Loh Bak-deep-fried rolls of seasoned pork wrapped in bean curd sheets-were a highlight, as were the intriguing Century Eggs, preserved using a traditional method that gives them a unique flavor. We also tried Oo Chien, an oyster omelette with a crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior, and Char Hor Fun, a dish of stir-fried flat rice noodles topped with a thick, savory gravy. To wash it all down, we sipped on refreshing Nutmeg Juice, a chilled drink made from fresh nutmeg fruit.
Our final stop was Lagenda House & Cafe, a cozy eatery on Lebuh Carnarvon. Here, we ended our tour on a sweet note with Ais Kacang, a popular Malaysian dessert made of shaved ice, sweet red beans, toasted peanuts, basil seeds, coconut jelly, fresh fruit chunks, condensed milk, and syrup. The combination of textures and taste was the perfect conclusion to a day filled with culinary adventures.
This tour not only highlighted the rich, diverse flavors of Penang Each dish told a story, and with Wei Shen's guidance, we were able to fully appreciate the heritage and passion behind every bite.

Penang is one of the best cities in the world, especially for food and retirement. thank you Sir, for this wonderful video.

[@ByteSizedJourneys]

LOVE this video and this ENTIRE initiative to cover Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore so in-depth! Hello from Canada Mr. Sapra! I did a series on Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore last year but honestly the way your content is presented and directed has won my heart and now I KNOW how I'd like to present my content when I go back to these WONDERFUL countries! Additionally, I guess maybe the Indian audience might not like this direction that you've taken, but PLEASE show us more in-depth coverage of the food from our AWESOME neighbors with a twist of history & culture, because we are historically connected by centuries and I want THAT aspect of our Asian cultures to be highlighted 🥰🥰😄😄 Thank you once again for this series and will keep looking forward to more!

Dada, hope the girl and her family who invited you for a meal in Dhaka are safe. Hope you called them. And me aap ka mood khurab nahi karna chahta, lekin ye malaysians bhi aise hi hai. Vha ke indians to ek kadam aage hai, India se saare medicine padh ke jaate hai..aur phir India ki lete hai. Saare ek nahi hai..lekin zyada tar chote mann ke hai, apnate nahi hai. India kaha se kaha pahuch gya, aur vho log 400 saal peeche hi chal rahe hai.

[@sadhanasultanajehirblogs4600]

Thank you sir. God bless you sir.

[@tarungautam9245]

As an input , in your all Thailand videos the guid speak time is more . What you can do is take that knowledge offline and then you should explain that in Hindi to your viewers. Your screen time and speak time should be more in hindi . Elder India people watches your videos and they fell connected in Hindi 😊

Thailand has a roadmap for plastics recycling in place..also as a tourist you will in any which way wouldn't drink the tap water as it may risk your health, isn't it? Why are you concerned about other country water and plastic...pls go and preach this in Delhi your home town which is one of the most polluted states...
