Food...

I already planned to tell you something about the food here already a while ago. As you all know food is something that expresses the culture of a country and therefore is very important to most people, myself included.
Since there is a great variety of cultures living together here in Penang and in all of Malaysia there are of course also many different kinds of food. So far there was nothing that I didn't like or lets say really disliked. The only thing i will probably not be able to eat for a while when I get home is chicken because I am having already enough of it. In almost every meal there will be chicken. Well it always tastes different because of different spices, sauces or preparation but still its chicken...!
Well other than that the only thing that is really different here than from Germany and probably most of Europe is the fact that you eat three warm meals a day. In my case that was probably the biggest difference and it took me a week to finally adapt to it. But in the end I am starting the day the asian way now also due to the fact that I like to get up as late as possible and don't want to prepare breakfast at home by myself. So at 9am we take the morning break and go down to the canteen. There I will get some fried noodles and rice, french toast (which actually tastes like in the US) and maybe something else. To drink I either order a fresh juice or I get something they call coffee here. If you know what it is it might actually taste like the drink we call coffee in Germany/Europe.
Oh and by the way the meal and the drink on the pic cost me 0.5RM which is about 0.1 Euro... So that's another good thing about it.
Well that's it gonna be for this week because as you all know I am leaving for KL tonight. That means that you can read the next post on Monday morning for your breakfast... or you try it the malaysian way then;-)

Wish you all a nice and pleasant weekend!!
