One Day in Penang.

Yesterday was Monday. As I sat down and had lunch with Rashdan and Rose, we decided to go to Penang the next day. The guys wanted to spend a night in Penang. But I insisted on coming back on the very same day as I have some work to do. We initially agreed on leaving for Penang at 5.30 in the morning. But after watching a movie at 10pm which ended at 12 ish, I changed my mind and wanted to leave at 7am instead.

6.30 and I wake up feeling really tired. Not enough of sleep. I slept at 2 and 4 hours is barely what I call sleep. I am still able to drag my ass out of bed and take a nice shower. I arrive at their place sharp at 7am. We then make our way to our 1st destination.... Bidor. We had some Duck Thigh Noodles, which I have not had for ages. After breakfast in Bidor, we drove to Ipoh for breakfast. Hehehe. The food target this time, Chee Cheong Funn... Ipoh style. I drove them to Canning Garden but the restaurant was closed. So I took them to Ipoh old town instead. We had some White Coffee, Toast with Kaya and Chee Cheong Funn.

Before arriving at Penang, I called my friend, the ever gorgeous Ling Ling. She graciously drives me and my friends to a few makan places (we are absolutely lost in Penang). We stuff ourselves with food throughout the trip. We do leave Penang at 6pm by ferry. But we don't end our eating spree there. We drive to Bukit Tambun for dinner... a nice sumptuous seafood dinner.

We eventually get back to PJ at 11 plus. By the time I drop them back to their place and drive home, it's already midnight and I'm absolutely knackered.


The sky is still dark when I make my way to Danny's crib.

We spent 150 on petrol and 90 bucks on toll. This made the Penang meals pretty expensive.

Duck Thigh in herbal soup.

With some dry noodles.

2nd breakfast in Ipoh.

Penang Char Kuey Teow. Good stuff...

Asam Laksa with loads of cili padi. Bugger... cili padi price drop meh? Put so much. I think it's so spicy... if you drop a bit of soup on the table, it'll burn right through and leave a hole in the table.

The famous Chendol. If you ask them to bring it into the shop, they'll charge extra 50 cents. I think this is to ensure the shop still makes money. Cause the Chendol store isn't theirs. Oh yeah... if you are not a patron of the restaurant and you just want to use the toilet, please pay 20 cents. Wash hands... 10 cents. Har har har. I shit you not.

Fried Oysters. I prefer the dry one with loads of batter.

They're on leave. I don't work. So need to find activities to help pass time.

Yup... that's the Penang Bridge.

His 1st time on a Ferry in Penang.

Fish, Lala, Crabs, Mantis Prawn, Veggies, Noodles & Chinese Tea. All for only 90 bucks. Sweet deal.
