Iconic, colorful Penang ferries ply between Penang Island and Butterworth (mainland). When you leave Penang Island, you don’t have pay anything for the ferry ride. It’s only when you travel toward the island that you pay 1.20 ringgit per adult passenger.

Quite a number of variations in Asia on how this is called or eaten. I've noted that the ethnic Chinese in Singapore would eat this for breakfast as an accompaniment to hot soy milk.

Banana Leaf Rice

Because of the presence of South Indian migrants in Malaysia, hence the presence of banana leaf rice in their cuisine.

Nasi Lemak

Leave a comment Posted by on September 21, 2012

Nasi Lemak is usually eaten for breakfast. Aside from an eating house, one can buy this from a street vendor early in the morning.

This is an easy to carry breakfast pack in a newspaper and banana leaf packaging. Cheap and portable and I have a thing for sambal.

I just found out the name of this street food I’ve snacked on in Penang. It’s rice noodle eaten with shredded coconut meat and brown sugar.
This is similar to a Philippine palitaw in taste but instead of rice cake it’s a rice noodle.
