Review of food

8 August, 2013
I learned that we can get mee suah tau at Penang Bowl, so we hightailed over to try it out. We ordered the mee suah tau as well as the springroll. The mee suah tau cost RM6.00 each while the springroll was RM5.50 per plate of two rolls.

The mee suah tau came with a sprinkling of crab meat. Other ingredients included egg and minced meat. Personally, I find that it too salty. My wife commented that it looked more like thick mee suah soup, though to be fair, we cannot compare commercially prepared mee suah tau with homecooked mee suah tau.

I quite like the springroll. My wife, who is harder to please, described it as "so so". The skin is quite crispy, though slightly too brown. I thought it tastes good with the mee suah tau. Both are quite salty.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
