Les go to Penang, Malaysia

A few months ago was the lunar new year, aka Tet in Vietnam. Not only is it a really interesting time in Vietnam with everyone buying the most beautiful flowers to welcome the new year, workers also get a substantial amount of time off. With my time I decided to go to Penang, Malaysia where I’d heard there’s the most delicious foods of all sorts!

I was pleasantly surprised by the multi-cultural pot that is Penang!

Penang has really cool street art. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, you can also learn a little history along the way.

Food!!

Now, I ain’t sayin Hanoi has bad food. I just prefer more bold flavor, ya feel me. So, exploring the street food scene of Penang left me with a more than satisfied taste in my mouth.

Some of the dishes I tried. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t remember the names… but I know love went into these dishes.

Remember the funky ass dancing explosion on your taste buds that is Durian? Well, there were whole cafes dedicated to this goddess-sent of a fruit.

Durian cheesecake. I will go back to Penang just for this cheesecake.

The cultural blending in Penang was super interesting. The food, sights, smells, and sounds sweeping the streets were tantalizing.

Last but not least.

A shout out is definitely in order for this gem of a place. A vegan sushi joint that was all out LGBT safe space. The food was so delicious and the space was completely welcoming, safe, and warm. Spread the love : Sushi Kitchen – Georgetown.
