Astaka Padang Brown..a must visit!

You have gotta try food from Astaka Padang Brown in Penang if you ever go up there. Orang penang panggil "padang berom"...derives from Brown Field next to the food garden.

The shops are only open for dinner. By 6+ you can visit. 1 row is just dedicated for Chinese, open from 5 onwards and the other row is dedicated for Halal food.

My all time fav will be the Char Hor Fun from Rina Special. It's located nearly at the end of the row. (btw you can order from anywhere and sit anywhere and your food will still reach you. :D)

The CNY break we went back to Penang, papa brought Shafiq, Aini and myself there to feed ma cravings. We had awesome Yong Tou Foo from Majid Celur-Celur, a must-try mee goreng mamak next to it ( YOU MUST TRY THIS!) and like I said ma-all-time-fav, char hor fun from Rina Special! The last time I had it was way back in high school...and it still taste the same! ALL OF IT!


Where Rina Special is located



Youve gotta try this char hor fun!



Find for that sign for the best cendol & ice kacang!


Yummy~!!!
These restaurants has been here since ma mom's generation. Another must try is the Cendol...from this chinese drink shop in the middle of the row. It's the only Chinese drnk shop in this bz row..with the sign reading "Ais Krim Campur Ais Kacang". SEDAP SIOT! the ais kacang also. :D memang evergreen. The father used to sell during ma mom's time, now the son selling. Dunno if the father still around. Back in highschool days he was.

So, make sure you visit Padang Brown the next time you head to Penang. It's located at Penang Road. Just ask anyone from Penang for direction. Just say "how to get to padang brom?" and you will get there. :D



Nyummy~
