Ok. I bet loads of people have eaten this before. At least, i have - a dozen or more times. This pix were taken sometime in November last year when i went to Penang on one of those tag along trips. I don't know what the beans are actually called in English because my mom and aunts just call them- ang-mor-toh-dao. (red-haired-devil-peanuts, maybe)
Well, i think they are seasonal so you can only get them aroung Oct-Nov. And there's this uncle who sells steamed nuts at the entrance of Chowrasta Market (the building), in the evenings. He usually sells steamed peanuts in shells and chickpeas, which is a nice snack when you're going into the cinema.
Anyways, if you happen to be there and come across the toh-dao, try it. I've always had a soft spot for it, because we used to enjoy these during our long school breaks in Penang. I'm not sure if you can still buy them fresh and steam them yourself. You may wanna try the morning pasar, then.
