Quenching Your Thrist @ New World Park

An ordinary bowl of ice kacang

New World Park or Sin Seh Kai as known to many Penangites house a variety of hawker stalls, restaurants and retail shops. When a couple of my friends from other states visited Penang, we went for the famous ice kacang in New World Park after a hot day in Kek Lok Si.

Besides the famous ice kacang, there are numerous hawker delicacies too. The Chief Minister of Penang, Lim Guan Eng too dine here in New World Park.

The most unique feature of ice kacang in New World is the fruits that come along with it. A bowl of ordinary ice kacang topped with papaya, banana, watermelon and etc besides the traditional red bean, cincau (grass jelly), atapchi, and jagung (corn); not forgetting sugar syrup and condensed milk.

Rating: 9/10

Together with ice kacang, not too be missed is cendol, ice shaving topped with gula melaka syrup, red beans and cendol strips.

Rating: 8/10

In addition to dessert, we had a little snack, cucur udang (prawn fritters). Light batter topped with small prawns deep fried to perfection served with peanut sauce dip.

Rating: 7/10 (Prawn fritters lack of crispiness and is rather oily though the peanut sauce dip was spectacular)

Getting to New World Park is easy as you would not miss the large building with numerous cafe and restaurants. Parking is easy with many lots in the parking area with a small charge.
