BEST Char Siu Mee I’ve ever had

 

Sui Gaw

 

The best char siu mee I’ve ever had. Yep, a bold statement. Recalled eating that bowl of bbq pork & noodles; each bite sent surges of pure happiness. It was a special meal shared with my dad and uncle.

Everytime without fail, when we go to Penang, we go to the Gurney Drive Hawker Center to eat. It’s just so much fun watching all the people running around buying a dish here and there. It’s actually quite amazing how the hawkers keep track of what goes to who. Highly recommend going here if you have the chance. Really cool place to go eat; huge variety.

If I had to choose just one place to consider my favorite food spot in the world, this would be it. The eats at the food court is astounding. Sure, you may not have the same variety as you would in a more modernized eatery, but as the old adage goes, quality over quantity. The best thing, I think, that can be ordered at the food court is the ‘see hum chow fun’, It simply cannot be beat anywhere else. Various textures and flavors from the Ingredients that an uncle has painstakingly cooked on a flat wok until he deems the dish is ready. Should you still want more, there are street food vendors that are a skip, hop, and step away. Not only would I choose this food court for the great eats, but there is also an emotional attachment as my most fondest memories of family are here. It’s a place where I consider time to stand still and hope to make many trips back in the coming years.

These are the moments I’ve been waiting for! Simply incredible food cooked by these street vendors. A reminder that a fancy kitchen, great decor, and posh looking food is not what makes for a great meal. Humbling to see these hard-working and talented individuals serving such amazing food!

Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe | Doraville, GA USA

Taiwanese Sausage

 

Salt and Pepper Chicken Nuggets

 

A great place for drinks and snacks. I will most likely be making another trip back to try out the other street foods. e.g. the fried wings or their fried fish / squid balls. I don’t particularly like any of the baked goods I tried, so far. I just find it a lot sweeter than the traditional buns I’m used to eating. A cool place to hang out nonetheless.
