    What you just had ( stuffed thingy) is called yeong liu. They are basically made from veg slices stuffed with fish paste. Like the one you held up with your chopsticks is actually a slice of bitter gourd filled with fish paste. The darker one is a brinjal (eggplant) slice stuffed with fish paste and pan fried. The crunchy thingy you had is known as "chow fu pei" which is actually a pirce of beancurd skin filled with a little fish paste and deep fried. Glad you both enjoyed the food.

Migrated to Sweden but visits Malaysia about once every 2 to 3 years for a month while in Penang, I would eat about 5000 cal of food per day (eat 5 meals a day). When I was a teenager, would ride around the Island looking for the best of each type of dishes. Malaysian especially Penangites live to eat, not eat to live!
