What is your favorite food in your state or country?
I got tagged by Mamasbagoftricks a LLLOOONNNGGGG time ago and procrastinated like nothing else but this is an interesting tag because I am on a very strict diet right now, so, this should test my resistance towards awesome local food. I tell you, as far as food is concerned, Penang Island is my H.E.A.V.E.N. I go Penang and I end up breaking every single rule about proper nutrition, health, balanced diet…blah blah blah. Penang rocks!
And I have a couple of favorite local food…and they’re all from Penang! Hee hee hee…. There’s the ‘har kow chee cheong farn’ which is nothing but chee-cheong-farn with prawn paste on top! Totally unappetizing for foreigners, I suspect but to me, it’s a simple non-fatterning food (I think)! The strong ’stench’ from the prawn paste can be a big turn-off for the unassuming.
Then there’s the Penang Asam Laksa! You ain’t tasted Asam Laksa the way it should be until you’ve eaten one in a Penang stall! Sure, we have a lot of stalls here promising us Penang-flavored Asam Laksa but no way, man. None of them comes close!
And my favorite food in the world, bar none, is….the PRAWN MEE! It’s no cuisine but I tell you, give me Penang Prawn Mee and I am totally yours!
