Chia Yean Penang Tai Chow Food - Sg. Nibong

Penang hawkers' food is world famous and is found mostly in the coffee shops or by the road side. However, it is harder to find 'tai chow' food in Penang when compared to KL. It was my in-laws who suggested to go 'tai chow'. The crowd is there and it seems to me that this place is well-known to Sg. Nibong folks. It is located directly opposite to the Penang Pesta site. Chia Yean occupies a corner lot and the block of 3-4 storey shophouses front the main road, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

Total costs for 5 adults: RM73.00

Curry Fish Head - Very fresh fish head. One could taste bad fish head simply because the fish will start to rot from the head first. My encounter with fishes in Penang has always been pleasant.

The captain suggested German Roast Knuckle. If they are confident to stock this item in their menu, I am confident they have the crowd. With quick turnaround the food is guaranteed fresh! The meat was tender and the outer layer crispy. Above average!

Squid Indian taste but Chinese style cooking. Indian curry paste but stir-fried just long enough to keep the squid tender. Very nice indeed!

8 Treasures Duck. Part of it still retained some gamey smell. Below average.

Stir-fried 'Yeu Mak'. Instead of fu yue the cook use nam yue. Bad combination.
