H<\/span>appy Thanksgiving!!<\/p>\n

I hope your holiday season is off to a good start after Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Don’t tell me you didn’t succumb to the holiday shopping extravaganza?! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

We were in Atlanta a few weeks back, and now I almost wish we were living there instead. No joke. Orlando has it’s fancy, but I’ve always wanted to live somewhere hilly and lush with mature & colorful trees.<\/p>\n

A little lie.<\/p>\n

I want to live beside a Malaysian restaurant!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Penang Atlanta<\/a> @ 4897 Buford Highway, Chamblee GA<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not to dislike Florida or anything, but I could have learned an important lesson a long time back — never make a place permanent unless it has any Malaysian restaurant in the close proximity.<\/p>\n

For most, diamonds are your\u00a0best friends. Malaysian food is mine. Not that I would refuse a diamond.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the first things we did was whipping out the phones and yelping for any Malaysian restaurants nearby. We lucked out on a instant Groupon deal as well. Gotta love those money saving deals, eh? More excuse for me to stock up on new boots<\/a>, perhaps?<\/p>\n

I must admit, just looking at the menu got me drooling…….. We felt like ordering everything from the menu!!!<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n\t

Roti canai<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not only the food got me too excited, but we even saw the cook flipping and stretching the roti canai dough – very authentic way of making it<\/em> – I almost fainted.<\/p>\n

A good indication that we need to make a trip back to Malaysia soon.<\/p>\n

The roti tasted somewhat authentic. Wish it was crispier though. On the flip side, the chicken curry was so good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n\t

Char Kuey Teow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Char Kuey Teow is flat noodles cooked with jumbo shrimps, sprouts, eggs and …. well, I would rather Bee from Rasa Malaysia<\/a> explain it to you with a recipe!<\/p>\n

Char Kuey Teow<\/strong>\u00a0is basically flat rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp, bloody cockles, Chinese\u00a0lap cheong\u00a0(sausage), eggs, bean sprouts, and chives in a mix of soy sauce. A great serving of Char Kuey Teow is flavored not only with the freshest ingredients, but equally important is the elusive charred aroma from stir-frying the noodles over very high heat in a well-seasoned Chinese wok.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bet her explanation got you drooling, no?<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n\t

Nasi Lemak<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I am trying to find some words to review Nasi Lemak, but its so difficult. This dish was total\u00a0disappointing. If you are looking for authenticity, this dish doesn’t even come close.<\/p>\n

I cried a little.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n\t

Cendol!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The redemption over nasi lemak came with Cendol<\/a>! Bless the Lord \ud83d\ude42 This cendol was so delicious and as authentic as you can find anywhere beyond Indonesia\/Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With full bellies, we hit up on antique shopping in Chamblee. There’s just too many antique stores to explore. But so worth the trip.<\/p>\n

Another reason to move to Atlanta. Help!<\/p>\n

Have you sampled Malaysian cuisine, ever?<\/strong><\/em> Please say YES \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
