" You have to taste a culture to understand it "

- Deborah Cater -

Travel seems incomplete if you don't taste the local food as Deborah Cater said, you have to taste a culture to understand it. Its true. Some culture have their own local foods which there maybe others can sell the same foods, but believe me, the taste will be hell different. People will always talk about the origin of the foods or the first one who sells it. The first usually the one who created the "secret recipe" to make it different than others.

A bit history about the Teochew Chendul Ice Kacang, it was established by Tan Teik Fuang back in 1936 and sell it as a source of family income at Penang Road. It is said that he's so humble and friendly because he believed that by doing that, the business can run longer and will have a lot og loyal customers. After years of business now the Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul is widely known not just locally but internationally.

Everyday, people will make a long queue just to buy the cendol. The customers include local people and tourist (locally and internationally). My personal experience, even with the long queue, the service was very fast and its worth to queue for the delicious cendol. For your information, Teochew Chendul have several branch in Penang, and also at Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Johor but as I said before, the origin will always be the best which is the stall at Penang Road. Its my first time, but I really love it. Its surely busy on that day, but the icy sweet cendol really refresh us.

" You don't need a silver fork to eat good food "

Makanan tempatan ! Itu yang paling best bila kita travel. Kemana sahaja kita travel, kita akan tanya orang, mana kedai yang sedap. Kadang kala tidak perlu tanya orang, zaman sekarang boleh sahaja di google "Recommended place to eat..." Saya sendiri ada google dan bertanyakan orang yang pernah ke Penang Island. Homework ! Line Clear antara yang disebut. Sebenarnya banyak lagi kedai yang popular, tetapi tidak mampu untuk pergi ke semua kedai Nasi Kandar kerana ada makanan lain juga yang mesti dirasa seperti Pasembor, Laksa Penang, Mee Ketam dan lain - lain. Well, entry kali ini saya ceritakan Line Clear Nasi Kandar !

Hari pertama tiba sekitar jam 3 petang, setelah 4 jam perjalanan daripada Kuala Lumpur, masing - masing mulai kelaparan dan yang terlintas di fikiran adalah nasi kandar. Masing - masing mencadangkan Line Clear Nasi Kandar. Terletak di Jalan Penang, Georgetown, Line Clear Nasi Kandar ini agak mudah terlepas pandang kerana  papan tandanya yang agak kecil dan tersorok. Boleh dikatakan salah satu recommended Nasi Kandar in Penang.

Seperti gambar di atas, kedudukan kedai ini berhampiran selekoh, dan papan tandanya yang tidak begitu besar serta tersorok, orang luar yang pertama kali pandang akan mudah terlepas. Kawasan meletakkan kenderaan berada betul - betul dihadapan kedai dengan bayaran RM5.00 untuk 1 jam pertama. Kedai ini boleh dikatakan tersepit antara shoplots namun di dalam keadaannya agak luas dan selesa dengan lampu serta kipas disediakan. Nasihat kami, elakkan berada di sini pada lunch hour memandangkan pada ketika ini akan penuh dengan orang ramai.

Tu diaaaaaaaa... Nasi Kandar ! Around RM8.00 per plate. Orang bertanya, kenapa sampai ke Penang nak makan Nasi Kandar? Macam la kat tempat lain takda. Ha, itulah sebabnya kena rasa dulu. Nasi Kandar di Penang, so called the origin place of Nasi Kandar, rasanya memang sangat berbeza. Lebih sedap ! Campuran kuah di atas nasi dengan ayam berempah (or ayam berkuah juga ada), dan masih didalam keadaan yang panas, 2 pinggan makan ada apa masalah? Haha. Pekena pula teh ais selepas itu ! Hui.
