Street food 1

Next stop: Penang, which is famous for its street food and hawker stalls. Street food's always a bit of a gamble - it can either make or break your whole holiday eating enjoyment - but it's a risk I'm willing to take for a plateful of char koay teow, the fried rice noodle dish with prawns, onions, clams, chilli and beansprouts which you can buy at virtually any street corner in Penang. This is koay teow thng, a noodle soup with fish balls, served in my favourite colour dining accessories.
