6. Appam with Egg | Kedai Kopi New Cathay (Lorong Kuching)
Appam with Egg? Well, you’ve heard it right! Calling themselves the “Penang famous Apom”, this stall definitely brings their appam up a notch, in short: simplicity with a twist. Established for almost three decades, this couple has been painstakingly crafting their appam business, and their hard work has been evident by the patrons swarming their stalls all the time. So, back to the topic. What’s with the egg? The creaminess of its yolk soaked by layers of coconut pancake base with margarine surely aids for a slight kick. Magnificent.

7. Mee Goreng Special | KSB Cahaya (Abu Mamak)
Abu Mamak might look like any mediocre roadside food stalls by the streetlights, yet it’s undeniably the title holder of one of the best Mamak joints in Penang! And yes, their Mee Goreng Special tops the bill here, surely to die for. The Mee Goreng itself is absolutely phenomenal: with ayam goreng, sausage and accompanied by fried eggs with cheese slices- not just stuffed with irresistible cheesy goodness but also egglicious than ever. Not forgetting their generous portion sizes and everything bursting with flavour, it’ll leave you licking your plates not wanting to waste any single bit of it.

8. Salted Egg Cookies & Cream | Merry Me
Didn’t see this coming aye? HAH Gotcha! Well, yes! Eggs can be anything, everything… Even a scoop of ice cream! However, we need to admit that it wouldn’t taste that perfect if it ain’t done by Merry Me- Penang’s one and only local-inspired ice cream shop! This flavour gives out a rather quirky taste. At first, it kicks off being sugary pleasurable, yet the dwindling sweetness will soon be replaced by a pleasantly savoury salty taste which adds in complexity. In fact, this ice cream shop creates flavours juxtaposing with the typical ice cream flavours you’ll usually find in any random ice-cream shops, press here for a review posted by us a while ago!
