Good for them!<br /><br />Realmother hen: tt sounds just like what's happening in kk now, no quality n quantity, just a lot of rip offs. But while they hv quality in sg, their hawker food is mostly not tasty altho i cant make a sweeping statemt too sine i was ony there a week each time.terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-36575017721454986262012-08-30T03:52:53.095+08:002012-08-30T03:52:53.095+08:00I am a Penangnite - but I think the hawker food in...I am a Penangnite - but I think the hawker food in Singapore is much beter. Due to inflation, and the fact that people still expect a bowl of noodles to be cheap, hawkers in Penang have no choice but to compromise on quality and relying heavily on MSG and the man-made chemicals like 3-MCPD found in various "sauces". On the other hand, though you pay a lot more in Singapore, you get a bowl of noodles with a substantial amount of meat/fish. I spent some time in Penang this past Oct/Nov; I was so thirsty after eating all the "great" hawker food in Penang that I had to drink 3L of water everyday. Then I flew to Singapore - I ate happily there without having to drown myself in drinking water.The Real Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226727195920798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-65720024531361734962012-08-25T03:43:57.511+08:002012-08-25T03:43:57.511+08:00My Penang friend would pelt me too with rotten egg...My Penang friend would pelt me too with rotten eggs and grenades but I love the accessibility and clean eating places. Eating out is so affordable in Singapore. Besides, SIA is fab so I tend to stopover in Singapore on my way back to NZ.Chocolate Cookies & Candieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552211805778583838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-61896739815895250782012-08-17T04:13:50.666+08:002012-08-17T04:13:50.666+08:00Aunt Terri...just enjoy reading all your food adve...Aunt Terri...just enjoy reading all your food adventure.<br /><br />I miss M'sia food lots esp the Chee Cheong Fun because of the sauce. The sauce used in Singapore is those Yong Tau Foo sauce which just does not rhyme with CCF.<br /><br />Truly and surprisingly...sugar and MSG are still in use. <br /><br />Roasting Chestnuts have moved into aircon area. Being Ramadan period, there are many pondoks set up in atrium of Mid-Valley and i especially like the Roasted Sweet Potatoes stall run by Jaya Jusco and there is the roasted chestnut. Both the fragrance really fill the air.<br /><br />I enjoyed a big bowl (which i had ordered a second)penang assam laksa. Finish every drop of soup at Little Penang.<br /><br />Guess the best time to visit KL is Ramadan period as they have many of those "buka puasa" food stalls along stretches of road. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing. You the best...<br /><br />chrishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-28321640350122757292012-08-13T23:10:38.261+08:002012-08-13T23:10:38.261+08:00jinkar: oh yes, i also detected sugar in most of s...jinkar: oh yes, i also detected sugar in most of sg's hawker food. don't like tt too.<br /><br />michelle: the last time i went to ipoh was longggg longgg time ago so i must make a visit soon.<br /><br />theresa: oh you are homesick:( never mind, cook some sg dishes soon:)<br /><br />kat: an honest sgporean:D. oh the food back then was so yum...what happened to roasting chestnuts by the roadside? tt's also smthing i miss about KL. smelt it b4 i saw the chestnut stall. and the kacang man. n sotong man.:(((<br /><br />june: not biased, just honest lol<br /><br />terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-65488050630301249762012-08-13T14:41:52.096+08:002012-08-13T14:41:52.096+08:00I'm from Penang.. so I will always be biased ...I'm from Penang.. so I will always be biased that we have awesome hawker food! =)Simply Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381924439163052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-14000477019032047972012-08-13T07:54:13.722+08:002012-08-13T07:54:13.722+08:00I'm a Singaporean & I so totally agreed wi...I'm a Singaporean & I so totally agreed with you that Penang hawker food is so much better than Singapore now.

Very interesting and full of beautiful pictures. Really inspire me to save to travel to all those places that you blogged. Your New York trip is very interesting and I may make a trip up soon though it is very far away from Phoenix, AZ. Seeing those food and places in Singapore make me homesick. Thank you.

The good stalls in Singapore can be really good but quite often I find Singaporean Hawker Food too sweet! I find I always overeat when I go to Penang but can restrain myself in Singapore. :)jinkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342522697062164135noreply@blogger.com
