Mieng Kham

One of my favourite treats from Thailand is Mieng Kham. When I first came across Mieng Kham in Thailand, they cost RM1. For the longest time, the only places you could find this delectable appetizer in Penang, were in restaurants where they charge about RM10 for a set. Nowadays however, there are a few people selling Mieng Khams in Penang's wet markets at RM2 a packet.

It's rather easy to prepare. First, you get hold of the betel leaf and then pile on the toasted coconut, ginger, dried shrimp, roasted peanut halves, ginger, shallot, and lime. Then pour on the syrup. Wrap the leaf around the ingredients and pop it into your mouth. Yummy!

Prontip Thai Restaurant

Prontip has been our go-too restaurant for Thai food for some time. It has pretty good food at reasonable prices. I'm not all that fond of Thai food but Prontip has easy parking which is a huge plus for me.

Here are some photos from our recent visit, which was some time back. I've forgotten what most of the dishes were called and what the prices were. So please just content yourselves by feasting your eyes on the dishes instead.
