But remember: this is street (or, at best, dai pai dong stall) food we're talking about. <br /><br />Also, I'll bet re your having had lots of good seafood in Japan but yeah, Malaysians generally do like their food with small spice than the Japanese. ;b<br /><br />Hi mister YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-62502303107920675292010-11-05T21:04:32.064+08:002010-11-05T21:04:32.064+08:00Brought back memories of staying in a clean and ch...Brought back memories of staying in a clean and cheap Chinese hotel at the top end of Chulia Street from where I ventured out to eat some great Malay and Indian dishes at food stalls and cheap cafes.

We had lots of good seafood but it seems very plain in comparison with your Penang dishes.sarah bailey knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748376721447408580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-61616857426199886892010-11-05T10:10:53.103+08:002010-11-05T10:10:53.103+08:00Hi duriandave --
