Ghani Pasembur, Padang Brown Food Court, Jalan Anson, Penang: Best Pasembur In Penang.

There are a few types of 'rojak' (mix) available in Malaysia. For Chinese, there's fruit rojak and for Indian, their rojak is a mixture of noodles, eggs, potatoes and prawn fritters. Mamak's rojak is known as 'pasembur' in Penang. Ghani Penang Famous Pasembur, brightly lit. Many different kinds of 'delicacies' are stacked in front of the stall for you to choose and mix. 

 

Seen here partly are multiple dishes of pre-prepared dishes to be chosen by customers. There are crispy prawn fritters (cucur udang), fish balls, sausages, cuttle fish, etc. Once you'd chosen the foods that you want, the boss will cut it into smaller pieces before serving to you. All these dishes nicely stacked in front of the stall, without any covering. 

 

Another closer view. Most of the dishes here are fried stuff, so say goodbye to tasting their original flavor. Anyway, I doubt they're making the sausages and fish balls themselves also. Come to think of it, if I want to eat sausage, there are much more nicer place to eat than just eating some cook/?uncook sausage here. Same goes to the fish balls here also. 

 

One of pasembur's main ingredient, the crispy, fried prawn fritters (cucur udang). At least for this item, they cook it themselves, maybe. I like the crispiness but I'm not too fond of eating the prawn shells (yes, shell) on it. The prawn shells' edges can be a little sharp.

 

The 'diploma'. All established and famous food stalls have this, being featured in newspaper. Now, I think being featured in food blog is more important because we always search for good food using Google.

 

I can't really see much of the ingredients under the thick sauce. If you didn't order specifically what you want, the boss will prepare you a plate of pasembur with everything in it.

 

Underneath the thick nutty sauce, a mixture of everything (hence the name rojak/ pasembur). Honestly, I don't like my food like this. There's no way I can taste each of the ingredients in it because all taste the same! Anyway, it's crunchy at every bites (thanks to the bean sprouts and prawn fritters) but unfortunately the taste of the pasembur is overwhelmed by the thick, sweet and nutty-flavored sauce.
