For the whole week, The Star was advertising about the Hawker Food Feast in PISA, organized in conjunction with the StarWalk 2007.

Penang International Sports Arena

So, last saturday, we made our way there, reaching there at 6pm, thinking that it starts from 6-10pm, we won’t have to crowd with other visitors.

Just look at the photos!! Just 15mins past 6pm, the place was full and very crowded. Fanatic food hunters I must say….

super crowded null

Of course the most famous (with the longest queue) is this stall…

sister char koey teow

This is what I managed to buy after standing in line for about 1 hour!!

char koey teow curry mee

See the tiny bits of crab meat on the lower left of the char koey teow? Added that bits on top and the plate cost RM5. But it was nice, and it’s my first time trying the famous sister koey teow, although I’m been living on this island for so long. The curry mee (from Lorong Seratus Tahun?!?!) cost RM4 each. I did not try it but my dad said it was just ok…not so special after all. We tried the Satay too (at RM0.50 per stick). The chicken meat taste ok but the ‘kuah’ (gravy) was a let-down. I wanted to try the ais-kacang too but looking at the queue was enough to make me stop yearning for it.

I know Penang people are food lovers. But this is just crazy….
Plus the super duper loud speaker blazing the music and announcements right at the diners table…I end up with a migraine and rushing my parents to go back!! I hate places with loud, heart-thumping music, trying to break our eardrums…it just contributes to my migraine.

Who else went there and try out the other food?
