Po Piah, A Food Truck @ Chai Leng Park, (Evenings / Night)

UPdate :  this food truck has disappeared, cannot find it any more  sad 

Poh Piah,  Food Truck, Chai Leng Park   

Po Piah is a Penang Specialty,  basically it can be describe at unfried spring roll, stuff with lettuce, cooked turnips, beansprout, chopped beancurd and any other ingredients, or in a fancy language,  a Penang Style Vegetable Wrap.    In theory is a “health” version which you can indulge in. 

Commonly found at many food outlet at the Island,  Po Piah is difficult to find across the channel, which lead to discovering this Food Truck (Tue, Wed, Sat & Sundays) park in front of one of my favorite Makan place a big surprise 

They also sell at Heng Choon Thean, Sri Bandar Market, in the Morning, Which is a advantage of a Food Truck, - mobility. 

Oh Yes, The food, more then acceptable, good size portion, friendly chap, good service,  (Other food is also available, such as chee cheong fun, and assorted fritters.  

Do excuse the photo, not very appetizing visually, but taste good, as its only avaliable Ta Pau (Take away).  -  Location Map.  

Hidden Pak Cham Kai

One food items that Butterworth folks seems to do very well is Poach Chicken / Pak Cham Kai, That certainly suites me as it’s my favourite food item.

Along Jalan Kampong Banggali also know as Electronic Street, for all the Electronic Shops is a No Name Shack that serve up an excellent Poach Chicken, with other type of Home Cook Food.  Delicious, smooth, tasty! 

This the place to go to, for poach chicken topped with oyster sauce, with stew chicken feet, Stew Spicy & Sour Vegetables, among others items that change daily    This road side under a tree Shack open early, from 5pm and finish selling at times by 8pm.    Kindly note this is an open but covered shack.  

Location :  Jalan Kampong Bangalli,  (Southern End) beside some Tennis Court.    

Parking  :  Is not a problem  Plenty in the Evening 

Pricing:  Reasonable   

ND Nasi Kandar.

Was Nasi Kandar created in Penang?  Originally is was sold by sellers who use sticks to carry baskets of food all around town, so actually Nasi Kandar stand for carried rice........ so the story goes ........

What ever the story goes, Nasi Kandar is a "Addictive" dish of rice with curry, for most the rice must be flooded with curry and let it "soak" in to impart flavor. So Tapau or to Pack will be a good option.

Some Nasi Kandar stalls have a following,  the Famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar (lane at Penang Road) is one of them, and the Nasi Kandar Beratur (meaning line up)next to the Masjid Kapitan Keling,  which open late at night (11pm) is another one.  Please note,  you do have to line up, may be up to a hour or more.

Well what about the folks in Butterworth?  Well they also have a Nasi Kandar Beratur as well, which also opens 11pm,  Its call Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang ....   So would you fancy lining up for at least 30 min?  Not Me.  So I get my "fix" at another nasi kandar just a few feet away.

ND Nasi Kandar opens earlier at around 7pm,  Located just beside OUB Bank or opposite TM Point Building, its has a Open Air Stall ambiance,  with table and chairs along OUB walk way, and roadside car park.  Drive along Jalan Bagan Luar till after the Padang and when you see OUB bank turn in.

Food Choices are as normal, and the food is at par with other stalls, and you don't have to wait much ......  

Oh yes. for those who won't mind waiting,  Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang is at the same location,  opens at 11pm.
