Hi, Matt and Laurie, Greeting of peace from Penang, Malaysia. Now following your RUclips channel to EBC. Nice. We will be there in March 2025. Will pick up some good info from you guys 👍🏻🙏🏻
That plate of "jelly" is made out of glutinous rice pounded into a sticky consistency. It is quite similar to the Japanese mochi; however, instead of wrapping the rice with sweet filling, this one is the sweet condiment to coat the rice for taste. Normally we don't order or serve this dish in a dim sum restaurant.
The murtabak you had is the Malaysian version but was brought over by Indian Muslim traders along with all Rotis centuries ago. The origin is neither Indian nor Malaysian but Arabic from Yemen specifically . I am sure the original Yemenite version is a bit different. There is a slight difference from the Indonesian version theirs is more eggy with little to no meat.
In June of 2013, I took a week-long stay in a hostel in Penang, so let's say I know Georgetown/Penang bro!! It'd be a pleasure to know you again if I succeed at coming to SE Asia like I want!! 😆
Loved this video, looking forward to visiting Penang so much now! Which food market do u recommend we visit-I couldn’t catch the name in the video. Thks!
As Malaysian, i doubt it The thing is, the so called food capital of Malaysia consist only Chinese & Indian influenced food, not Malay & indigenous like native Borneo of Malaysia I suggest Sabah Sarawak & East coast of Malaysia; the craddle of Malaysian food😊
Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay in Georgetown, Penang.
