The first day, we looked all over Little India for a normal restaurant where you can sit down, order off the menu, and they make it fresh. My boyfriend was worried about getting sick from food that's been sitting for awhile, and I was worried about the food being too spicy- I wanted to order it and ask them to make it mild. We finally gave up and picked a place. It turned out to be THE BEST food! Of course we didn't get sick, and they had mild choices. I had chicken curry, and the boyfriend had something with fish. We got nan and two lassys, and the meal ended up costing about 18RM. So cheap! & it was delicious and filling- we didn't need to eat dinner after that! It's fun eating with your hands like Malaysians do. There are always faucets where you can wash your hands before and after meals.

We tried to eat in these small stands the rest of the trip. When we did eat in normal restaurnats, the food was so much more expensive, and not as tasty! Of course you get more choice, but I say stick to the small places! Little India of course has great Indian food, but there are Indian and Chinese places all over in Penang!
