Fried rice and Ice Kacang at Penang Hill
May 4th, 2009 by Nicholas Chan
Two weeks ago, I went hiking with a bunch of schoolmates. When we reached the top of Penang Hill after 2 hours of hiking from Botanical Garden as the starting point, we had our breakfast at the food stalls there.
I ordered Ais Kacang (or known as Ice Kacang/ABC), it’s good to have something cold and cool after a long walk and it’s hot out there. There’s 3 stall of Ice Kacang, I recommend eating the one that the Malay sells, it’s nice. However, ask for less syrup because they put a lot into it which makes it very sweet.
I did not have any breakfast before hiking so I was very hungry when I got up there. I ordered a Nasi Goreng Kampung (Fried Rice in Malay Kampung style) from a Malay stall and this is good. It’s fried with ikan bilis (anchovy( and some vegetables. Delicious, or maybe I was hungry that time, but I still like it.
