penang, i must return perhaps not on a february next time...all the good cooks seemed to have been away when i went there last feb.
so did you find the food as good as it is often touted to be?
so far kl has been the best food experience for me in malaysia, with kk next and penang third best.
Wow, this has the potential to lead to a huge huge debate.
My opinion is that Penang is the best place for food in Malaysia. But like a lot of places, it is about knowing the right nooks and crannies to eat at. For example, I don't generally rate Singapore food that highly, but there are some places that are exceptional (and still reasonably priced).
Advice for Penang
- do not eat near Batu Ferringhi; even the local places there which are good, are very expensive.
- Avoid restaurants where you can.
- Try going into the kopitiams; basically shops with multiple hawkers.
- If you are eating breakfast, eat early. The best food can be finished by 9am.
- If you are eating late, don't be surprised if you have to wait a long time for your food.
