  Whoops, how did I overlook this thread? Yup, I know where to find pandan leaves (although I don't know if the supply is constant). I think I've seen dried cuttlefish around, but I'll have to confirm that.

  Only time I get to eat the Ramly burger is when I go down to Penang. It won't be as rushed there and you know how it is like at night at Gurney.
  
  Then again, I should be stuffing my face in Bangkok. I have already made a list on what I wanna eat!

  Speaking of PJ, you should try this place at Jalan 222 for their 'Fok Kien Chow' (Cantonese for Hokkien Mee). The KL style uses thick udon like noodles with dark sauce, deep fried lard and sambal belachan. Easily one of the best things I have eaten! Getting hungry.....

  Used to think that Penang's Gurney Drive was where really good food could be found but according to an aunt who just returned from a trip there, she says the standard has dropped.
  
  Maybe, the Penang Street hawkers are all here cooking up a storm in hotels having Penang Street Hawkers Food Festival or something?
  
  So, for good, authentic Penang food a la Gurney Drive, just head for the nearest hotel holding such a promotion!
