Fried street snacks/Tee Kueh, Penang

I still have one more post on Penang!

Was looking through my photo folder and I saw this..aduhai, how could I forget?

I seriously could not recalled what we had for breakfast and lunch, most probably some rep-eats ..hence, the only thing I have not posted on was the snacks we had before we left Penang..It was a very long way in, I really have lost my bearings by the time Ryan decided to park his car. We were welcomed with this sight..Ok, since this stall is in the middle of no where, yet people still come over to pack these snacks..must be pretty good, no?

I was even more amazed with the people working there..they were like robots!

The person frying the snacks, just kept moving in this robotic manner.......pick raw food, dip in flour mix, throw in the boiling hot oil, stir and remove. Repeat..i think i could almost hear him chanting..

Even the woman cutting the nian gau (chinese steamed sticky cake make from brown sugar and glutinous rice flour) had every slice cut to almost identical precision..Hence, most of the snacks looks almost identical. Amazing QC for something like this huh?

We had some tapioca roll (the sausage like thing), which is really crispy on the outside, but firm and full of tapioca on the inside. They definitely didnt stinge on the ingredients..

I didnt really like the flat rounded snack..the green pea kuih..somehow, there's this strong flavour that I dont find appealing..

The ultimate star for me, would be the fried tee kueh (nain gau)..

The nian gau was sandwiched between a slice of sweet potato and yam. What makes this the best I've tried so far was the light, almost-not-there batter. It's extremely crispy, yet, the batter almost melted the moment we took a bite of it. The yam and sweet potato was cooked to perfection, it was just so soft and moist...the half melted nian gau oozing from the centre just makes this snack so heavenly.

As I was rather lost by the time we reach, I only noted down that it's located at Jalan Free School, near the Batu Lancang roundabout, where SMJK Heng Ee is. It's next to 48, Eng Car workshop.
