it's all about food

Eating is of major concern for us in Penang. The first place to attack is the hawker center to try out all the hawker food that we liked. The next day, we visited Suffolk Home with Pastor's family. After touring the house, we had tea. It was a very English tea indeed.
 English tea is not tea without tea. A variety of tea to choose from.
 Scones...real crumbly. This is the best scones I've ever tasted. Tried quite a few from various places and this is the best.
 Two types of cakes....banana and fruit cake.
Along with the scones and cakes are some sandwiches, biscuits and also chicken pies. Of course a variety of jam to go with the scones. Pretty nice actually though expensive.
 A set for two is RM68...we ordered two sets for eight of us. It was just nice...no over eating.
 Later that night after visiting USM, we brought Pastor and family to our favourite nasi kandar at Glugor. The queue was long....almost 30 people were lining up. Had been like this 20 years ago when we were students.
 A great variety to choose from but the dishes were almost gone.
 I had  ayam kandar, telur dadar, sotong and beans for only RM7. Dirt cheap after Suffolk!!! A most satisfying meal and Pastor agreed with us it is the best nasi kandar in Penang. Delicious and cheap.
