Penang - the adjective for food
Book Review on myPenang by Augustine Wong, in the Star publications (26 June 2005)
"....myPenang is a slim guidebook that tells you what to eat and where to find it.....
.....Lim guides us with a historian's eye, from the charming streets of colonial George Town to the breathtaking Kek Lok Si temple.... ...myPenang is one of the best-illustrated guidebooks that I have used, surpassing many better known ones bringing to life the immediacy and local colour of the island.
... For many Malaysians, Penang is more than a place, it's an adjective: Penang laksa, Penang kuey teow, Penang loh bak. With culinary flair, Lim has cooked up a concise, attractive guide to the eating capital of the north."

Know Penang like a local Review by Philip Lim
..... the crème de la crème in this book is the Where To Eat chapter. Lim, like most true Penangnites, knows her food. She has detailed all the places one can think of or has been to. I believe she has covered most food places of repute.
... There are other books on Penang but this one in particular deserves a place on our bookshelves.
