Food in Malaysia

The food is alright in Malaysia, although it got really repetitive. I’m not sure why everyone told us the food is so spectacular; maybe we needed to go with someone who knows where to go.
But, I have to take photos of food everywhere I go, so here they are!

PENANG FOOD: Each description describes the photos below it.
Our first stop in Georgetown, a grimy little restaurant, but pretty good food; Close-up of the Hainan chicken (steamed chicken served with rice cooked in margarine or chicken fat & chicken stock and chicken soup), and the Char Keoy Teow (Stir fried rice noodles with prawns, eggs (pork or chicken), chives and beansprouts), plus our Hong Kong Style Tea; The Scilingos and Randy’s Laksa (Thick rice noodles are served in a tangy fish soup/gravy – the tanginess comes from Tamarind)
   
The Java Mee stand (Java Mee is a bowl of thin yellow noodles mixed with beehoon (rice vermicelli) in spicy curry soup with coconut milk with dried tofu, prawns, cuttlefish, chicken, mint leaves and topped with a special sambal.); the Rojak stand; White Coffee (supposedly special to Penang and tastes like coffee with a lot of creamer and sugar) in a bag; Ais Kacang with ice cream at Georgetown White Coffee Restaurant – a bowl of ice, grass jelly, corn, all sorts of beans, and rose syrup, brown sugar syrup and condensed millk, with vanilla ice cream on top.

The Char Keoy Teow stand; Rojak, sold at the above stand – really weird stuff – basically fruits and vegetables like pineapple, apple, guava, cucumber tossed in a sauce made from prawn paste, palm sugar, tamarind paste, peanuts, sesame seeds and chiles – a sweet and salty combo - not our favourite; a close-up view of the Ais Kacang described above.

At the night food court, this lady was selling homemade REALLY yummy cakes – we bought the banana one and it was awesome!; the night food court scene; Kris & Randy pre-eating.
  
The dim sum stand – first time I’ve seen dim sum sold in tins; Excellent Chicken Satay – the stand even sold Chicken Leg Satay – literally an entire chicken leg on a stick; my buffet breakfast Plate #1

Drinks in Malaysia were both yummy and strange: the drink with the orange spoon is Lychee Drink (literally lychees in lychee flavoured water), and Nutmeg Juice (not very good… it’s like nutmeg-flavoured water); Oyster Scrambled Eggs, Nasi Lemak (really good)
 

FOOD IN KL:
Our Christmas Eve Dinner consisted of the following: Roti Canai (sort of like the Taiwanese Jua Bing), Oxtail Soup (the green stuff in the bowl); rice dumplings (usually consisting of coconut rice); Curry with roti; where we had our Christmas Eve Dinner – on the street; and for dessert, Cendol, which are smooth green rice noodles in chilled coconut milk and gula melaka (coconut palm sugar); kitty cat or bunny rabbit pastry (not with real cats/bunnies inside)
