The all-new New World Park

Why is it called the new New World Park? Coz New World Park has actually been around for ages, since Shaw Brothers had a thetre/cinema here many many years ago (even before I was born), and since I was a kid there has been many stalls lined up on both sides of the road along Swatow Lane in the afternoon, offering a lot of famous Penang hawker food.

Some rich guy (I forgot his name) threw in big bucks to have a proper place built up as a hawker centre for all these stalls to be housed within, and tada! We have the new New World Park now... in case some of you overseas are going "where's that?" the answer is... Swatow Lane! Yes, all the stalls down there are now being 'centralised' into a pretty chic hawker centre known as "New World Park".

Shame to say, though, after its opening in Jan, I only managed to set foot in there in April :S

Some of the stalls.... the stalls had ample space and even a partition for cooking (inside) and serving (outside)

This is just a glimpse of one side of the whole hawker centre floor space:-

Run down on all my fave food at Swatow Lane/New World Park :-
Curry Mee
Char Kuey Teow
Hokkien Mee
Ice Kacang
Ee Ya Kueh
Cucur udang

My bf had char kuey teow - it's from a grumpy aunty, but I do love her char kuey teow as well :)

While we shared an Ice Kacang - with added ice cream and banana :D
