Medan Selera Mutiara: Unity at Its Finest

Located at Tanjung Bungah, Medan Selera Mutiara is one of the rare eateries in Penang that house Muslim and Chinese hawkers under one roof. Although the area may look a bit run-down, some food gems can be found within the hawker centre.

The first gem is Special One Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang. Wrapped in banana leaves, the traditional nasi lemak at this stall comes with rice, a hard-boiled egg, crispy sambal anchovies, and roasted peanuts. Each packet is infused with spices from the sambal anchovies. Although the mildly spicy sambal can be a bit salty on its own, it blends really well with the rice. In addition to the traditional version, customers can also customise their nasi lemak by adding ingredients such as chicken sausages.

Another food gem at this hawker centre is Tony Ais Kacang. This ais kacang is widely enjoyed by locals and tourists. The colourful ingredients present in this dessert include creamed corns, kidney beans, grass jelly strips, jelly cubes, and Nipah palm seeds. The dessert is also served with a splash of sugar syrup and a drizzle of evaporated milk. Besides ais kacang, the stall also serves milkshakes and cendol.

KCChiak ordered the all-day set, which included mushroom soup, one main course, and one drink.

The mushroom soup had the right texture – rich, creamy, and mushy. Unfortunately, it tasted rather bland.

For the main course, KCChiak ordered the restaurant's signature dish – Porky Puff with Bacon. Fortunately, this dish managed to impress KCChiak's taste buds! The juicy pork patty and bacon were sandwiched to perfection by crispy pastry puffs. The puff also came with crispy onion rings and salad.
