I was born in Taiping and spent all my schooling years there. Used to stay in Aulong. Now I am settled in Sabah. Miss all the favourite food haunts of my childhood. Cashier's Market Mee Rebus, Chicken Rice, Mee Kombat, Popiah, Chicken Soup Noodles and the Nyonya Kuehs. Yut Sun was another favourite place along with Si San Ice Kacang

[@pishedbloke]

Wow so many more good places for me to try, thank you! I have been to Yut Sun and Larut Matang market previously. Aulong has a nice house which sells biscuits and cookies. Must go back again

[@TheTamilmaghan]

Most welcome. I hope you get to try them and love it. Love your videos and I want to wish the very best. Thanks for sharing. If you ever decide to make a holiday trip to Sabah. Please let me know. ​@@pishedbloke

Fun and interesting trip!!

[@pishedbloke]

Ya, not too far to drive... if got kids, can go to the zoo also. Or early morning take the ride up to Bukit Larut...

[@obeah]

Larut Matang food court - my fav place every time I go visiting there..

[@pishedbloke]

Oh yeah... I had been there many times before, just wanted to try something new this trip! 😄

[@OngBengSwee]

Really love watching ur vlogs! Hope u will visit Butterworth areas for food adventure !!😊

[@pishedbloke]

Sure bro!!! I have a few older videos about Butterworth such as Tokyo Restaurant in Kg. Benggali but I really miss the old jetty pork leg rice! 😀

[@satwantsinghbhattal]

Hong Feng Kopitiam nasi lemak is good.

[@pishedbloke]

@@satwantsinghbhattal must go back again to try more makan!

[@bk1571]

Wan tan mee and Pork satay (evening) inside coffee shop opposite Sojourn Hostel can try next time, not bad

[@ktang3240]

Welcome to Taiping my hometown. Kakak is one of my favorite kai see hor fun stall . Should order also the braised chicken feet. The kakak peng is also one of my favorite beverage. The goreng pisang is the best in Taiping

[@pishedbloke]

Agreed, the goreng pisang was so good we actually went there twice!!! 😆Kakak noodles portions were huge too, very delicious and good soup.

[@maxsoon1097]

Wah. Travel all the way to Taiping, Perak. Syok juga. I know, Perak's food really good. Quiet different from Penang. Still good to travel and sightseeing.

[@pishedbloke]

I like Taiping, don't mind retiring there one day

[@yeohliangim2939]

Hello brother your kids good not fussy to foods happy eating chiak par par😢😅😊

[@espymu]

@pishedbloke - can provide authetic old taste must eat for a 3D2N Penang trip ? thanks

[@pishedbloke]

I think it boils down also to a few factors, such as own transport, how far you want to go, how big is your group etc. because there are also many great places to eat in Prai and BM. If you like mostly hawker food I have already recommended quite a few places on the island. I would say search for the unique or popular stuff in Penang such as Hokkien mee, White curry mee, wan than mee, char kuay teow, nasi kandar, roti canai... for dinners try Nyonya food, zi zhar or seafood, grilled fish (ikan bakar) to start.

[@astrometaqua411]

@@pishedbloke thanks for prompt response and the recommendations. Do have own transport and mostly in island. Perhaps on departure could try mainland. Reaching out as these days just too many socmedia recommendations and rating which hhmmmm… that’s why reaching out to locals for hidden gems than those ‘populists’ as you may aware time constraint and want to ensure ‘worth-quota’ during the limited duration 😂

[@pishedbloke]

@@astrometaqua411 yes, I get similar comments from friends! Here are some of my suggestions, you can further research and see if it suits your taste: Breakfast: Cecil St Market has most of the favourites; CKT, WTM, KTT, curry mee and then some like pasembur and nyonya kuih. Alternatives: Chowrasta market area coffeeshops, Seng Thor Coffeeshop at Kimberley Street. Lunch: Nasi kandar my top 3 are Deens Maju, Merlin Nasi Kandar and Mohamad Raffee. Dinner: Seafood zi zar is nice if you still have space... Tai Tong Teluk Bahang, Gertak Sanggul fishing pond or if in town, try Big Tree zi zar. Notable restaurants to try across the bridge: Yoong Kee Teochew Restaurant or Heng Lee just next to it both serve almost the same things, BM famous Yam Rice, Tokyo Restaurant at Kg Benggali, at night can visit Wai Sek Kai at Chai Leng Park. Google these few places, I am sure you will find good stuff there!

@@pishedbloke thanks mate for your time, cheers

[@tuckwengtor9421]

How is the parking in Malaysia like? How to pay for all the parking if you find a space near the makan places you go?

[@pishedbloke]

We have private and public parking...most private parking can be paid using the TouchNGo card you use on the highway, or by a Wave credit card. Public parking can be paid by the appropriate city council app and also TnG app

[@laywengng2296]

Aiyaaa. Antong coffee is so over rated by some people?

[@pishedbloke]

I guess you are right, but I think it is OK lah to try. For me it is not the best but is quite alright for the taste
