hi all, sorry to be so "western " but i'll need an occasioanal boost.
Can I get Marmite?vegemite?, Tango ( drink) and other foods in Penang??
Also, does anyone know if I can get Japanese tebags? A dumb question, but I'm looking for green tea brown rice teabags, called Genmaicha. I am going to be in Penang a while, so.....

Tried googling, and guess what came up?

"The food from the street is edible and some of the best food we had on the trip. At night Lebuh Chulia lines with street stalls. There is even a cafe that sells vegemite on toast."

Well, you won't be missing your vegemite then.

hey thanks.
I certainly know street food is safe! What are you kidding me? I am going to DIVE INTO it!

But I was asking abou tthe Marmite etc as I'llbe there in a very stressful situation for a while and know I may need just a few moments of home comfort.
So, I'll see you at the cafe for Vegemite on toast!!
