Penang:Cintra Street Steam Rice Cake and Pan Cake
From Malaysia - Wiki Street Food
At the junction of Penang Cintra Street and Campbell street, there is a little, wooden push-cart stall which is famous in selling Chinese dessert like Chinese Pan Cake(咸煎饼) and Chinese steam rice cake(白糖糕). The stall is located just opposite the famous Tai Tong Restaurant(大东酒楼), beside a Chinese medicine herbal stall.
Everyday from 6pm onwards, the owner will start her business. Anyway she actually starts preparing the dessert earlier in the evening. For those customer who reach the place earlier, they can buy these lovely Chinese dessert directly from their kitchen, which is located just behind Tai Tong Restaurant(大东酒楼).
Although the humble stall looks simple and modest, many people believes that it is selling the best Chinese Pan Cake(咸煎饼) and Chinese steam rice cake(白糖糕) in town. Different from many other stalls, the pan cakes here are not fried on the spot from hot, boiling oil. In fact they are covered by a big white cloth in traditional bamboo basket like a little baby being protected. However this doesn't reduce the attractiveness of the food.
While talking about the dessert itself, there are few varieties of Chinese Pan Cake(咸煎饼), for example the red bean, five spice powder and glutinous rice Chinese Pan Cakes. All these Chinese Pan Cakes are with same price and the making procedure should be similar, just that the filling is different. Other than that, the Chinese steam rice cake(白糖糕) is another kind of dessert that usually will sold out earlier. The steam rice cake is not very sweet and quite chewy. Besides the snow white presentation add some credits to this dessert.
At last, walking in this Chinese historical street at the evening with a famous Chinese light dessert on hand can definitely bring another kind of happiness, which is simple but satisfying.
