The intensely unique pagoda is usually the main point of attraction (besides the really really big bronze Kuan Yin which I didn&#8217;t feel the urge to pay the entrance fee for). I didn&#8217;t expect Kek Lok Si temple to be this big but this temple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fitting to end our Hawker Trek with another family favorite (specifically my mum&#8217;s), Penang Assam Laksa. Assam is the Malay word for tamarind. Like rojak, responses can range from being an acquired taste to loving it in the first try. I guess what catches most people off guard is the word &#8220;laksa&#8221; because it&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Penang Prawn Mee is well known throughout Malaysia and Singapore, so to be the best in Penang is really something. Everyone seems to agree that the stall you see above (in [...]]]></description>

At this point of time, the names of new foods have stopped sticking in my brain so I can&#8217;t remember what I ate in addition to Loh Bak. We sampled the one on Penang Road.

But upon arriving I realised it&#8217;s what the Cantonese call Loh Bak Gou (trans: Carrot Cake). We bought some anyway since I&#8217;m a completist. It&#8217;s nothing super incredibly outstanding but I&#8217;ve never seen carrot cake fried so violently. He was banging [...]]]></description>

Nasi Kandar (trans: nasi &#8211; rice, kandar &#8211; carry a load at each end of a pole on your shoulder) comes from the once common tradition of the wandering Malay street hawkers carrying dishes on baskets at the end of poles where [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s actually quite a bizarre eclectic mix of raw fruits, green mango, cucumber, cuttlefish and various things I still don&#8217;t recognise &#8211; topped with Heh Koh (trans: Prawn Paste) and crushed peanuts.

It&#8217;s incredibly pricey, RM 3 for something slightly smaller than two Maggi mee noodles stacked atop another. Not sure if it&#8217;s good enough to keep you awake at night, but I did find myself unhesitantly stealing a [...]]]></description>

So it&#8217;s incredibly sad to say that it not only did not live up to its hype, but I fail to see anything worth hyping at all. There&#8217;s really nothing more than a few rusting cannons pointing [...]]]></description>

Khoo is a family name and Kongsi is a Hokkien word meaning &#8220;share&#8221; (imported unchanged into Malay) which gives some insight to origins and purpose.   Built in 1906, it is a traditional Qing dynasty temple with some overt European influences, [...]]]></description>
