Penang: Malaysian Food

Posted on | September 4, 2009 | 7 Comments

Last night was our first date anniversary. We meet in 2002 at a coffee shop in New Paltz, New York. I won his heart by making him a spectacular latte. Actually, it was the worst I ever made. I was so nervous because he was so cute. We celebrated by going into Boston for a night of walking around (love September weather) and testing out the new Canon EOS Rebel T1i.

Kinda randomly we stumbled upon Penang in Chinatown. The food was amazing and super affordable. Greg and I are big curry fans and many of the items on the menu had Indian influences. We started with Roti Cania an Indian style pancake that was served with a curry side. A-mazing. We were spooning the curry side into our mouths it was so delicious. For dinner I had Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and Beans in a Hot Pot. Greg had Thai Chicken and Rice. My soup was incredibly delicious. The perfect amount of spicyness, sweet, and tang.

The photos from above and below were taken with the Canon Rebel Ti1 with no flash or tripod. Impressive. I can’t believe how sharp my images were with such low light. Today the Nikon comes in the mail. I can’t wait to check out the competition.

Want to see more nice shots with the Canon? Check out on flickr.

Hi Katy, Wishing you a happy anniversary! Your Boston photos are awesome. I looked at the entire Flickr set. I hope to get a new camera for my birthday. What is the shiny sided building? I’ve never been to your area before.
All the best on your change over to WordPress. Change can be daunting sometimes!

Katy, Best wishes on your anniversary.
On a different note… may I respectfully request why you’re changing your blog format? I’ve been enjoying your blog very much since discovering it several months ago, and thought it was already perfect! (Of course, I’m very change-phobic, in general!) Anyway, I know zip about technology and can’t be of any help on that front. I hope you wind up with things exactly as you would like… I’ll keep checking in!

Hi Bee,

On the old blog older posts were really hard to find, loading time was really bad, and posts were hard to find through google. All the new changes help my readers find the information they are looking for faster.
