Kuri Kapitan and Ulam  

The first day I was in the office my co-worker Esther took me across the street for a simple Malay meal at the Lurut Cafe. We had a great simple meal of Kuri Kapitan, which has Nyonya origins. The curry fish and chicken both were mild, with just a small bite at the end. The Ulam vegetables served with sambal chili was a great firey jolt and the bitter melon and ladies fingers rounded out the vegetable offering. I am very glad Esther was there to share because my only complaint about Penang is not being able to eat more dishes!
