Gurney drive hawker food, Penang

Yes, the extremely famous Gurney drive hawkers..
So famous that I dont think I should write about it..

But then again, my camera's with me, my friends are willingly posing the food for me, so, heck, why not? For the benefit of those who have never heard of the hawkers here, well, the Gurney drive hawkers serves local hawker food and the number of stalls there are just amazing! The choices are abundant, but most of the stall's food are just average.

The only food that I crave for when it comes to this place would be the muar chee.. This stall serves one of the best muar chee ( steamed glutinous rice topped with crushed roasted peanuts, sugar, sesame) that I have ever tasted. The steamed glutinous rice are warm and melt-in-your-mouth sort, the peanuts and sugar gives a good crunchy bite to it, while the sesame and fried shallots adds in a lil savoury aftertaste. yumz..

Since I'm already there, might as well eat other stuff too right? ;p..

Hence started my look for the longest-queue-waiting-at-the-stall hunt...

This stall gotta be the winner..Serving all the fried stuff (with some lobak food), the hottest and popular hot seller here is the deep fried chicken skin and fried squids. Didnt try the skin, but we had some squids and some mixture of fried stuff. Was just ordinary, nothing to shout about..

We felt like having rojak so we bought from one of the many rojak stalls there... This one was way too diluted and plain..yicky...

Then I noticed a stall selling pork satay and pork intestine satay. Since I hardly see that in KL, decided to try it too..

2 caucasian walked pass while I was waiting for my orders..

OMG, they eat skewered intestines? They Eat that?

And looked at me as though I'm a freak.. geez, this is no fear factor mate... The pork satay was juicy and sweet. Pretty delicious. As for the intestine, the exterior was slightly crunchy while juicy and chewy on the inside. Quite good, though not as good as those in Muar. Would have tasted better if the kuah satay was tastier..

I've forgotten to take a picture of the grilled cuttlefish we had. That was yummy as it was crunchy and pungent at the same time. Lovely. Do try that.

I didnt take the pictures of the stalls I bought these hawker food from, hope a rough sketch of the map/stalls ( based on my rusty memory) helps? So is there a particular stall you go for at Gurney? Any stall that I should have tried?
