Every year, there will be a Fiesta Malaysia held in Melbourne but so far I haven't been there before as I tend to either forget or being lazy. So I went to check it out this year. I went after my zoo guiding, along with some friends, for the Penang Food Festival session. I was putting very high expectation in this event since a lot of people said that it's a very fun and big event. When we reached there, I've got a really big sweat on my head. This was how it looked like. One picture is enough to describe all.
I was expecting to be as crowded as a busy market with many Penang food hawker stalls. Fine. Let's try their food. It's $5 for a coupon and all the food cost $5. The first thing we tried was char kuey teow. I think the cook wasn't from Penang, but it's the students here that cooked it instead. Other than the palm-sized portion, this was the most horrible char kuey teow that I've ever eaten. Fail terribly. Luckily I didn't use my coupon to get it.
For my coupon, I used it on the Penang Hokkien mee. I was still wondering did they print the card wrongly. It said Hokkien mee but the food looked like prawn mee. Then only I know that prawn mee is equals to Penang Hokkien mee. Lol. The lady is from Penang, so the taste of the Hokkien mee was not bad. Acceptable. Just that I find my $5 not worth for that palm-sized portion. I felt nothing. It's more like a snack instead.
This roti canai man can't stop showing off his roti flipping talent. Lol! No angmo watching la pakcik, all Malaysians here and they just wanted to eat! Haha...
Guess I can just stay at home and have my nice nap next time. Super disappointed with the event.
