Eating Penang: Nyonya Kuih

Nyonya Kuih, Kuih Ko SuiWhile I had planned to share every single meal of my Penang culinary adventure with you, alas, my initiative and enthusiasm has been dampened by one unsurmontible obstacle: the painfully slow dial-up connection at my parents' home.

Nyonya Kuih, Rempah Udang Thus I am sharing my adventure with you in small tastes, i. e. a few pictures at a time -- sort of like stealing a bite from a friend's plate when they turn away.

Kuih Beng KangThis morning I woke up craving for sugar so I headed straight to the morning market at Jelutong and got myself some beautiful, colorful, and tasty Nyonya Kuih and other small treats as breakfast. Total damage was approximately US$1.00 (US$1.00 = RM3.60).

Boolicious and Rokh,

Yeah, Nyonya Kuih is one of those things that we tend to ignore in favor of western cakes and pastries. ;)
