Penang Trip ( 16/11-25/11 ) Part III

Day 8 ( 23/11 )

Had Jawa mee n Kao Tiam Pua ( means nine o'clock in hokkien ) for lunch.

yummy

And i wanted to rave about Kao Tiam Pua.
It's the best Coffee i've ever drink in my whole life !
It's located at Heng Lim Cafe at BM ( at Kota Permai beside Billion ).
It's actually green coffee and i heard it can be bought ( the instant 1 ) but i dono what other ingredients they added to it to make it so yummy n unique.
Trust me, this is the coffee that can change ur perspection towards the old traditional coffee!


After lunch Liang fetched two of his other frens and went to Prangin Mall for a 2 hours shopping.
It was not enough for me at all bcos i only managed to cover one n a half floor in that 2 hours time. =(
And hell there's so many things to buy..
And i ady sapu a lot of stuffs from just the 1st floor. =.=

We then proceed to the Botanical Garden.


...

superman!

lalala...

lalala 2..

enjoying nature..

showing off my one-finger kungfu

Liang showed us a hidden valley ( not much people know about it ) in the midst of the garden.



it's so beautiful it makes u wanna scream out loud to hear ur voice's echo.

oooooeeeeeooooooooo~!

So beautiful u couldn't stop taking photos

so beautiful u can do yoga there

or maybe show off some flying eagle pose? =P


Then off to another part of the park...


Left-right : (i forgot her name =.= ), Yuan Chang, Jo n I

substitute Yuan Chang with Liang


i simply love the big grass land that stretched so far away u can roll all the way from the hilltop into the lake. =.=


For me i think the park is a huge success.
Families gathered on the grass, children playing together...
And it's here that u can see people of all races mix together...


chinese n indian children playing together...aww so cute the indian gal...
i helped to chase after her ball n she looked at me with those cute puppy eyes omg i can melt ady



For dinner, we went to Bella Italia located at Jalan Burma at Penang which serves the best italian food.



the interior...

the 2 guys ordered everything for us

Only managed to take the photo for the 1st dish bcos my cam makes the food look less delicious wtf

The food is awesome n the price is reasonable too!
The dish we ordered :
Antipasto Misto Rm24.80
Pizza Sililiana Rm27.80
Lin. Con Aragosta Rm31.50
Bisteca Rm47
Spaghetti Aglio Rm21
A total up to Rm167.31

( Well, I only recognise the word pizza n spagetti -__-lll )
Every food is damn delicious especially the beef steak.
so yummy can die. T.T


We went to Batu Feringgi to have a stroll after dinner.
We went to Rasa Sayang Hotel which has very nice landscape planning n interior design.


except we couldn't see them in the dark. -__-lll

But still i think Pulai Spring is nicer. =)

Day 9 ( 24/11 )


Today we spend our time up on the hill.

1st we stop by San Bao Gong, a small temple by the jetty.


the enormous footprint left by San Bao Gong. ( actually i dono who is him. =P )

the jetty..


After that we went to 'mini Genting'.
The road is even steeper than the ones at Pangkor and real scary.
The place is kinda remote with lousy children games and silly statues all over..
The only thing worth going for is the scenery there.


Huge rooster, huge seashell, huge mushroom...One look says it all ---> the landscape planning sucks.

This panic-stricken horse will scare the shit out of children who come here lo...o i forgot there's not even one child in sight there

But the scenery there is worth the trip

flying without wings..

It's noon already by the way...but its not hot at all


I love the morning glory plant that creeps all over

framing the view

Got gorilla somemore

I wonder what the 2 crocodiles got to do with the lover's seat there...

the road back...damn dangerous


Next stop - Kek Lok Si Temple







going up using the inclining lift

they're building Kwan Ying a huge shelter...

the old Kwan ying

another breath-taking view of Penang

Didn't bought any shits at the stalls along Kek lok Si bcos they're so damn expensive.
I know we looked like tourists so the blood-sucker said Rm8 for the shit keychain bcos the ring is made from stainless steel and wont get rusty one. wtf.
when we decided to leave, she called after me say she'll reduce to Rm5, and then Rm3.
No thanks, I'll just keep the one Daddy Han Han bought for me last time enough.


We didn't make it to Bukit Bendera as the cable cars were not functioning AGAIN. wtf.


dropping by Fort Cornwallis on the way back

We didn't get to go into the fort as it's nearly closing ( at 6pm ) and they collect Rm5 for entrance fee.


the beach opposite Fort Cornwallis

Day 10 ( 25/11 )


Our last day in Penang.

Liang brought us for a ride at the ferry that very morning.

2 sakai excited little kids on ferry

in the midst of cars

wat are u looking at little gal?

Penang city

Visited USM.
USM is like a small town and i think it's a bit like UMS.
The fengshui there seems a lot better than UTM too bcos they face the sea n mountain.
Mayb i'm a bit sick of UTM so i think USM is much better than UTM.
whatever la.
The thing i envied them is that they have a swimming pool. =(


Liang then brought us to buy some 绿 豆 糕 and 年 糕 from a small roadside stall which is quite famous too..heard that a lot of ppl queue to buy during noon and it is by luck that we arrived the 1st.

They're fattening but yummy!


After that we went to buy some famous Penang biscuit from Hin Heang.
And when i say some, i mean 5-6 boxes.

Liang said don't buy from shop dat has a big compound in front of them bcos the compound is for tourists' bus and usually that means the biscuits there are NOT nice at all and the locals will never go there.

He brought us to Hin Heang instead which is nicer and my, it's always packed with people. ( we went there twice )

The biscuits were freshly baked everyday around 11am so it's best to go early so that u can get a taste of warm fresh biscuits ( 马 蹄 酥 are the most recommended but they don't come cheap though. 1 box of 8 packets inside cost Rm9.90 )

The purple 1 is 马 蹄 酥 and the other is preserved nutmegs ( yuck i dont like )


We then went to Queensbay Mall for a stroll and had lunch there ( Paddington house of Pancakes).


treasure box - it's so delicious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet like falling in love wtf

forgot its name ady..sth like tokyo bla bla bla...it's also very delicious!

Both portion is big so 2 plates to be shared among 3 person is enough.


We then go to Friday's to have our drink there.
Liang ordered a glass of Magarita to be shared around ( the portion is big too ).

Take a small sip n lick a small bit of salt from the glass' rim and prepare to float to heaven. =p


A glass of Magarita is best accompanied by something cheesy...


the creamy cheese n pasta inside these little cubes is to die for..


That, ends our trip in Penang as our flight back to Kuching is in the afternoon.


bye, Penang !



P/s :
there's so much food i've tried that i couldn't remember exactly what i've eaten in the past week.

My most favourite local dish will no doubt be the 白 斩 鸡 ( white chicken meat ) from green house ( quite famous too as many ppl tapao just for the chicken ) and also duck egg Char Kueh Teow. Others include Jawa mee, laksa, ikan bakar, durian ice-cream, sup lembu + buttered toast ( can be found at a malay / indian coffee shop at BM )...

My most fav drink will no doubt be Kao Tiam Pua ! I miss it so much now. =(


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Back to Kuching and the body construction begins.
Time to lose that fat. T.T
