Gurney Drive

The third blogspot, guess where! Yeap, Gurney Drive!! Gurney drive is also known as Pusat Penjaja Anjung Gurney. Gurney drive has started in the 1970’s, and also one of the largest hawker stalls over the years. it is place between Sunrise Tower and Gurney Plaza, anyone who wish to visit gurney drive, you are advise to reached earlier due to limited car park space. As for me, I would recommend to park in Gurney Plaza or Gurney Paragon, although it may be bit more pricy, but it is better than wasting time finding parking space. 

Pasembur, Rojak, Cucur Udang. 

Pasembur is a so call malay kind of rojak, that consists of shredded bangkuang (a white fleshed root vegetable with brown skin) that have a nature sweetness and also cucumber. Besides that, there are varieties of ingredient such as, boiled egg, potatoes, crab, fried bean curd, prawn, cuttlefish, fishballs and anything you mention! All this is served in a spicy and sweet nutty sauce.BUT, as an advise, ask for the prices first before taking it, it may end up a bomb for your wallet. Oh ya, this stall of Pasembur is also famous because he would sing and dances when he’s listen to the radio. I think it is one of his selling skills ? 

Price: RM8 ( for normal pasembur )

Laksa 

In Gurney Drive itself there are a few Asam Laksa stalls. I felt that the best laksa is stall number 11. The Laksa soup served there are full with fish, that makes the soup tasty and thick. In a bowl of Laksa, it is inclusive with vegetable, pineapple, cucumber, red onions and fish ball, but this is the only Laksa stall that served fish ball!! Har Kou (prawn paste) are  highly recommended because it adds a sweetness and depth to balance out the tanginess of the asam. 

Price: Small RM4, Big RM5 

Oyster Omelette 

Oyster Omelette or Oh Chien (fried oyster) is another must-have seafood on Penang island. 

This unit dish are served with fried egg, spring onions and also baby oyster! Don't worry that it might smells un-fresh, all oyster are fresh and juicy! 

Price: Small RM10, Big RM15 

Muar chee

Muar Chee is made from glutinous rice that’s been pounded into a paste, cut into bite-sized pieces and tossed in crushed peanuts and sugar. 

Price: Small RM3, Big RM4 

Fried Lok Lok 

Ok, I need to admit. This is my favourite stall of Gurney Drive hawker stalls! Everything in this stall are fried, there are varieties of deep fried food such as, sausages, wan tan (dumpling), french fries, prawns, crab ball, meat balls and Chicken Skin !!!!!! Deep fried Chicken Skin is the best in town !!! Although it is deep fried, but no worries you definitely won’t taste that oily ewwww taste. 

Price : From RM0.80 - RM3.50 (per-piece) 

Oh yaa, you may take Rapid Penang Bus 304 or 103 to Gurney Plaza. It may not be the most convenient way, but that's the only public bus that goes directly there. Tell the bus driver you are going to Gurney Drive Hawker Centre so that he can alert you when you reach there. But, if you are taking a bus, do not hesitate to ask the taxi driver for the price before you board it. Enjoy!
