Penang Fun 6-8-2010

Nite depart to Ipoh.
Our group consist of Wfen, Jerry and Vic. Head to Ipoh met up with Ivan. Our accommodation, recommended by Ivan, a double story house, made into a hotel-like accommodation. So, we took the one that can accommodate 4pax in a room. A packed room, with four bed straight next to one another, and there was no room to walk or anything. Only sleep. Wahaha… it was packed (because I have never tried anything like this before), somehow a hostel like room, but overall, it seems close. All four of us, closer than ever. My left was Wfen and on my right, Victor; and my far right Mr. Jerry.

Our dim sum, super early in the morning. 7am already reach Ipoh佛山茶楼. Had a sumptuous dimsum and head to our first place in Ipoh, Guan Yin Ting. Took a couple of photos… a quiet place, with some little ornaments for photos. Ivan didn’t wanna join us to Penang as he would wanna stay with his family.

We continued our journey to right to Georgetown… our destination.
We reached Penang around 1.30pm and searched around for a good lunch. We had Char Keow Teow… from Lorong Selamat and start searching for a hotel to stay. We had not made any reservation, thinking it wasn’t a peak day anyway. And that prove all of us wrong. All hotels which we stopped by, were all fully booked and none of them had rooms available. Found several, and finally we came to one, still had 2 rooms available. Now… accommodation checked.

We headed to Kek Lok Si, with the help of our little Map. Not hard though. My first time visitng Kek Lok Si via self-walk. I’ve been there once driving all the way up. Without noticing there’s this market lane where you can buy loads of stuff there. Pretty hectic walk, but you will be surprise to see so many beautiful stuffs you wanna buy there. Jerry and Vic got Wfen an early birthday present.

Got back to our hotel for some cleaning… and out we head to Gurney Drive for our dinner. Then, to Jusco for shopping and walking. Bought a cake for Jerry there… and head back to our hotel for a small Jerry’s Birthday Celebration.



Yeah… had a cake cutting ceremony in our hotel… nice gathering. All in one room. With musics… food… cakes… present…. Yeah… got Jerry his longed gift.. a seafood miniature.

The present got all tumbling out… and they fixed them all together. It was fun.

Tadaa... all well fixed finally.


The next day, Fort Cornwallis. Had loads of photos taken there.
Then stroll along the sea view.







Someone suggested asam laksa. My favourite. Sounds like we weren’t going back Klang without having asam laksa there. We stopped at Kek Lok Si again, this time for asam laksa only. It was delicious. I wanna go there again… just for the sake of it’s asam laksa. Hahaha…


Before leaving the highway towards North-South Highway, we stopped by (forgot what the place called), Wfen’s in-law house. For a quick hello, and also a quick bath due to the hot sun out there.

After our clean bath, we had our lunch at XYZ famous Yam Rice. Which Wfen love to eat everytime she goes back hometown.
I forgotten the restaurant's name. So, I named it XYZ here. Until further notice. Hehehe

Yam Rice and Hot Soup

It’s a short 3D2N trip, but with full of laughter and fun memories.
