Ingredients for Local Penang Dishes

Even as we get to know the various local dishes in Penang, it is useful to also get the ingredients that go into making these dishes. Indeed, the love for Penang dishes has extended further afield, to cities all over the world.

On this page I provide you a list of ingredients you will find in the kitchen of a family that cooks regularly. I am lucky in that my wife loves cooking and loves trying out all the various local dishes. She learned the basic of cooking from her mother, who continues to cook daily, and (as you would expect) is very particular about the taste of food she tries.

Though I never develop the skill for cooking, I certainly enjoyed the dishes prepared by my mother, and now my wife and my mother-in-law. They are all excellent cooks with demanding tastebuds - often dishes that I thought of as good are simply "so so" to them.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
