What is Penang if not for its nyonya kueh

The thing about living in penang is the chance to savour its nyonya kueh. Yes u have these kueh in kl and many parts of peninsular malaysia and even in s'pore....but nothing beats the nyonya kuehs made in pg for the discerning taste and cost consciousness penangite......

The variety and the competitively priced kuehs in pg is just unbeatable....we have
  • kueh tai tai (the blue pulut kueh with kaya on top) is my all-time favourite;
  • next is the ondeh ondeh with its melt in your mouth gula melaka embeded inside light green ball that is sprinkled with coconut shavings;
  • then u have the rempah udang; the huat kueh;
  • kueh kochi;
  • kueh kochi santan;
  • bankah (ubi kayu ...best in the world);
  • kueh lapis;
  • kueh talam;......

The list goes on and on and on.... the variety cannot be beaten.....and the availability....practically every market in morning...costs between 40 to 60 cents per pc......

What more to ask for .....Rm1.20 buys u the best breakfast in malaysia...plus another rm1.00 for cup of nescafe.....mmmm
