Eating in Penang

“到檳城后，你最想吃什么？” Steve问我。“我還不知道，就看找到什么就吃什么。” 我回复他。
我知道他很想念roti canai，我就選擇到我熟悉又靠近我檳城家的咖啡室。我吃炒粿條，他吃roti canai…他差点就要舐洗乾淨咖哩汁的盤！
回到檳城，吃是少不了的…
新年有一道菜叫 '撈魚生'，我大哥款待我们兄弟姐妹到餐館晚餐及一起 '撈生'。
我们到三哥家及大姐家吃火鍋。誼妈家的家常飯加上Steve喜欢吃的mamak咖哩雞。
我们與二姐到咖啡室，我吃福建麵、Steve吃roti canai早餐。二姐的佛友邀请我们到她家的自由素食晚餐。
我们與朋友BS及GY到極乐寺和Air Itam Dam走走后去咖啡室，我吃asam laksa及豬腸粉、Steve吃roti canai。Christy请我们吃泰国餐…泰式的辣雞肉让Steve連連讚好。
我们到檀香寺的新春大團拜，每人得一包素食餐。爱心福利中心辨義工聯誼素食火鍋、'撈生' 及庆生会，邀请我们同欢分享。 离開檳城的前一晚，我二姐买roti canai来给Steve，看來他吃得比我更滿足…

“What food will you eat first when we arrive in Penang?” Steve asked me. “I don’t know. I will eat whatever if I see the food.” I replied.

I know Steve misses ‘roti canai’ so I brought him to the hawker food near my house in Penang. I ate ‘char kway teow’ (fried rice noodles), he ate ‘roti canai’…he almost wanted to lick the plate clean of ‘kuah ayam’ (chicken curry sauce)!

When we went back to Penang, we couldn’t avoid eating…

Chinese New Year (CNY) has a popular dish called ‘lao yu sheng’. My eldest brother treated the whole family to dinner and ‘lao yu sheng’ at a restaurant.

We ate steam boat (hot pot) in my brother’s house and in my eldest sister’s house. I ate home cooked dishes in my god-mother’s house and Steve ate ‘mamak’ curry chicken.

We had breakfast with my sister, I ate Hokkien mee (prawn noodles) and Steve ate roti canai. We were invited to have a vegetarian buffet at my sister’s Buddhist friend’s house.

We had breakfast with my friends, BS and GY, after we all went for a walk at Air Itam Dam and Kek Lok Si temple. I ate asam laksa (noodles) and chee cheong fun, and Steve ate roti canai. Christy treated us to lunch in a Thai restaurant… Steve praised highly a spicy Thai chicken dish with green beans.

We went to Than Hsiang Temple’s CNY open house, everyone had a pack of vegetarian food. We were invited to a vegetarian steam boat and 'lao sheng' gathering at the welfare center where I served as a volunteer before.

The night before we left Penang, my sister brought roti canai to Steve. Seems he is more satisfied in eating than me…
