Karipap
Tea break afternoons…rm1 each only….hot fresh & crisp….calls of “karipap! karipap!” (curry puff) from the seller…extra pickled onions…can be found along Penang Road.
Curry puff (Kari Pap) is a Malaysian, Singaporean and Thai, snack which is of Malay origin. It is a small pie consisting of specialised curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried pastry shell. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack.

Oh my god! This karipap has been passed to the next generation?
I remember eating this karipap pap pap, panas, panas, by an old man back in the 1970s at the Stadium. Have been trying to get it everytime I go back to Penang. Managed to catch him once at GH some 10 years ago.
Ong, this is not your ordinary karipap. This is an institution by itself. Ask Penangites who lived in the 60s and 70s and they would write poems about it. I thought that it is a dying food, and would take the path of the rotiman rock cake (which was made by only one bakery in whole of Penang those days)
Nostalgic! I am going to get a dozen of this when I go back to Penang next. Problem is this guy is not stationed in a permanent place. Sigh.
I stay in Singapore. I went to Penang many times. I think that Penang has many more nice food to eat than this karipap, such as nasi lemak, nasi kandar, apung balek, fruit rojak, icekacang, local burger…etc. Why not upload more photos of this kind to this web. It will be very attractive to foreigner. I also think that by showing photos in clouded places such as market, and hawker centre, give viewer an impression that the place is a popular site, worth visiting. Beside that, Penang hill/Bukit Bendera, Tanjung Bungah & Telok Bahang (waterfall) are very good places for leisure & picnic. Why can’t see these places in this web ? Well, these are my recommendations for Penang Web, my personal opinion only.
