Penang : Part 4 - Chew Jetty, China House, Pork Porridge and Cendol

We walked to Chew Jetty - a World Heritage Site too. It is located within George Town. This is a fishing village in the town. I saw a hair salon, and also a postman delivering letters. 

After Chew Jetty, my friend brought us to the longest cafe in George Town. This is China House. The length is from one street to another - from Beach Street to Victoria Street. It has a cafe, a courtyard, a reading room, and an art theatre-sorta room. There were lots of murals too. They even provide crayons for you to draw and you can hang your art on the clothesline. The crayons are on every table. There are also indoor games like Monopoly and Taboo. Definitely a good way to keep the customers entertained and keep the orders coming. And you would not believe the dessert spread they had! It is long and so tempting. My jaws dropped when I saw the table. We had a slice of tiramisu cake that has alcohol. I could taste the alcohol as I sink my teeth into the moist chiffon. It costs RM15 a slice. Worth it though. I was shocked when I saw the size of the cake - about 10cm in length.

I took this photo because I love the contrasting colours of blue and green against the clear skies.

For lunch, my friend brought us to the famous Pork Porridge - Hon Kei Food Corner. Why corner? Previously, it was a corner. It was actually a single stall and its customers had their food in a back alley. Today, it is a restaurant that takes up two shophouses.

The pork porridge has (from top) liver, intestine, stomach and flesh. This costs RM7.80. The porridge is tasty and sweet. I don't often eat the various parts of a pig, but when I do, I muster up a lot of courage to do so. You are truly a Chinese when you eat anything that is edible. Anyway, you can have pig brain too but my friend did not request for it. I think my adventurous streak in eating has reached its peak for the day.

This is a really funny steel cartoon. The guy on the left ordered 'One Tall Double Shot Decaf Espresso' and the waitress just summarised it to 'Kopi-o Kau' which means Thick Coffee without Milk.

Along the way to our must-have cendol, I spotted the traditional way to toast bread - using charcoal!

The must-have cendol of Penang. There are actually 2 stalls here. The one on the left has no customers is new and the one on the right with lots of customers is the original cendol staff which was the pioneer in that lane. Cendol is dessert made from shaved ice, coconut milk, green starched noodles with pandan flavouring and palm sugar. It is sweet. The small bowl of cendol costs RM2.10.

We ventured inside Eastern & Oriental Hotel. It has beautiful English architecture with an excellent view of the Straits. 

I was very stuffed by now.
