penang food roadtrip! day one
We drove here yesterday and if you're wondering what's in Pulau Pinang (more commonly known as Penang), here's the answer in the form of our lunch just as we arrived:
Lots and lots of food. People don't really do much in Penang except go to the beach (sometimes) and just eat, all day, all kinds of food that taste so much better than in Kuala Lumpur. The picture above is the uber-famous Nasi Kandar Line Clear on Argyll Road. That 2 kilo pile on my plate cost under MYR10. Line Clear is a 24hour mamak stall well-known in and out of Penang, despite the fact that it's hidden in an alley on the left where Jalan Penang meets Jalan Chulia.
It's probably one of the coziest alleys I've been to in awhile. There are people cooking even before you enter the alley and get stuck in the ridiculous queue. There are other mamaks established right outside Line Clear who try to trick you into their stalls because they're in such close proximity. Do not be fooled!

Now we're off to hunt for Mee Udang in Sungai Dua, Seberang Prai. More translations/explanations when I get back!
