Penang, Washington, D.C.

Leo dragged me off to the downtown Penang for a late dinner tonight. I started with a seaweed and seafood soup and he started with roti telur, an Indian-style pancake folded around an egg and onion mix with a chicken curry dipping sauce.




For a main course, I once again had the sarang burung, the addictive taro root basket filled with seafood, vegetables, and cashews I've had on each of my previous visits. Leo had the Singapore char mee hoon, a rice noodle dish with spicy seafood and pork sausage.

For dessert, we each had a traditional folded pancake, he the peanut filling and me the coconut filling.
