This is the 9th day of the Navaratri ("nine nights") festival which coincides annually with the Nine Emperor Gods festival. Both are major festivals for the Penang community, so there is plenty of vegetarian food being sold in every corner of town! I enjoy vegetarian food, be it Indian or Chinese. When I was downtown today, I opted for banana leaf rice at a small cafe. I love the way it is served - little bits of rice, veg and curry on a fresh banana leaf, topped with crispy papadam. I have also tried one of the many makeshift vegetarian food stalls along the roads to cater for those on veg diet. All very good food for you to eat to your heart's content!
