Four friends from secondary school went on a 3 day / 2 night food trail to Penang.

Day 1
OO White Coffee, Penang Road Chendol, Auntie Gaik Lean's
Char Koey Teow with duck eggs. Nice but not fried over charcoal.

Buo Luo Bao

Penang Road Famous Cendol. I like this.
Also from Penang Road, Kwey Pie Tee. Not great.

Dinner @ Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery
Authentic Peranakan food.
I was completely smitten by this Otak-otak.
Kiam Chye Ark Tn'ng (咸菜鸭汤). This is very, very good!
Stingray Curry
Sambal Eggplant
Curry Kapitan (Straits Settlement Curry Chicken). Top 3.
Sambal Sotong
The Nasi Ulam (herbed rice) is also delicious.

Day 2
Breakfast, then visited a durian plantation
Lor Bak
Hokkien Mee. Not great.
Actually, we wanted to try the noodles at Green House but our driver told us that Green House gets sold out by 9am. He took us here instead.
Wanton Mee
Pulut Hitam
***
In the car, on the way up to the durian planatation.
We sampled 3 variaties of durian.
Lobster
Hor Lor 葫芦
Capri. I love this one most - rich, creamy, a subtle of bitter flavour.
I've not seen this variety of durian in Singapore.

A little bit of sightseeing after eating durians.

Dinner @ Lorong Baru (New Lane) Foodstalls
Char Koay Teow x 2, Hokkien Char, Grilled Chicken Wings, Shrimp Omelette
Waited in line for 30 minutes to eat Charcoal Seafood Char Koay Teow 炭烧海鲜炒粿条.

Someone recommended chee cheong fun with shrimp paste @ MacAlister Lane.
One friend lost a small piece of luggage and was pretty sore with herself but the important thing is we made it to the end of the trip without killing one another.
