::Gurney Drive Food Court @ Penang ::

We reached Penang! =)
After check in our room at Berjaya Hotel, here we are strolling around Gurney Drive.
Not much place we can go as time already ticking at 5pm and it's raining!

After a walk in Gurney Plaza, we try our luck at the food court nearby.
Not so lucky though. Most of the stalls were not open as the rain comes pouring down.

Oh.. Fried Kuey Teow! Nice~

Mua Chi!! ^^

The first Laksa for this Penang trip which tasted nice until .. I tried the one at Air Itam Market :p

Rojak!

::Teo Chew Meng @ Georgetown ::

Something new for me to try in Penang.

The famous Mee Suah Tao of Teo Chew Meng Restaurant.

Tasted like shark fin soup and is abundant with seafoods! We ordered the one with oysters.We tried the seafood longevity mee too. This one is full with seafoods as well. From far, the smell of butter already fragrant the environment.

p/s: worth a try but for me is so-so only.

::Foods @ Air Itam Market::

::Penang Laksa @ Air Itam Market::

The best laksa in Penang?

Small little stall.

Big giant crowd.

RM3 per bowl. Very delicious! Yummy yummy! The best I had so far! =)

::New World Park Food Court @ Georgetown::

A modern food court.

Every stall serves something different.

Penang otak otak RM2.20 which is very not tasty!

::Wood Fire Pizza@Jalan Macalister, Penang::

I was introduced to this by my tour guide during my last visit on last year. And this year, it is my turn to introduce it to the others.

Call me exaggerating, but in order to have this pizza, you have to call to pre-book, at least 2 hour earlier. Although stall is open at 630pm, but they serve only those who had ordered and those who did not will have to wait for their turn which might take up to 4 hour, or just end up with disappointment - come back again next time.

One of the best pizza I had tried so far. Juicy and cheesy enough for my taste bud. One bite makes you crave for more. But .. after 2 slices, you might feel a little full already.
Pricing at small RM8, medium RM11 and large RM18 - it is not too expensive and worth a try!
We ordered the large (10') mix special (highly recommended).

Location:
Restaurant Kim Sun San - beside Red Rock Hotel, opposite Esso Mobil, Jalan Macalister.
(This is the description given by my friend. I don't have the co-ordinate either but this few landmarks says it all =) )

::Dim Sum @ Bali Hai, Penang::

Dim Sum as breakfast.

This restaurant operates as dim sum center in the morning and seafoods center in the night.

Love the cozy environment.

Various types of dim sum. Self service to pick your favorite.

::Restaurant Yen@ Batu Kawan::

Seafoods! I'm craving for it!~
I'd heard that Tambun and Batu Kawan is famous for seafoods with cheap pricing. Recommended by a friend, here we are at Ah Yen Seafood Restaurant.
We arrive here with the help of GPS. Initially, we were a bit worry that the route guided by GPS is wrong as it leads us to deep within a village. But .. when you reach the destination, there lays a big restaurant. Big enough that it cross my mind - this meal is not going to be cheap.

We ordered fried mee RM3.50 - this is surprisingly cheap! Note that the portion is not a lot. For single pax I guess.

And I requested rice! Seafood fried rice RM6 will do. I'm seriously craving for rice as I had a lot of mee'S this 3D2N trip.

Vegie RM6 to detox our digestion system after having a lot a lot of foods these 3 days.

Fried tofu RM10. I don't like this. Not nice.

And wooooot! Crabs! And it's salted egg crabs! Note that this is not cheap for RM60/kg. They are famous for the curry crab but with all the heaty stuffs we had in these 3 days, we just skipped the curry version and opt for salted egg. This is so yummy!

p/s: I don't know is there any other better choice of seafoods restaurant around batu kawan/ tambun. Kindly enlighten.

.:Penang Makan Trip 2010:.

For the year 2010, this is my first local trip. *wao .. it really seems like I hardly off for vacation this year @@*

A very nice trip with a bunch of people whom I hardly know. *unexpected*
But couldn't push away the fact that they are so nice and friendly and funny :)
*Guess need to thanks the one who 'force' me to go with them*

Trip begin at 430am on 19th June 2010.
I barely get any sleep the whole night, and it's a miracle that I don't faint.

Reaching Penang at 9am+. =D
Nice weather. In fact too nice that it burns my skin. @@

Our first stop was Kek Lok Si temple.
We actually didn't walk the whole temple. Instead, just the top peak.
The day was really hot @@
*But I really feel that Penang is always that hot*

Second stop was Snake Temple.

Third stop was .. The Siamese Temple. *am I right? ^.O*

And the beach of course!
Always love the seaside =D

And the last stop for the day .. HardRock Hotel.
I damn love this place so much!
Aherm .. can I have my birthday celebration here this year? *hint hint*
Oya .. I left out Toy Museum. But seriously nothing special there.

And the next day, we had our breakfast here.
Off to the museum and then hit back to KL.
We actually didn't went much places. Seems like this it is more to a makan trip.
But I actually really wanted to go to the 'small genting' there. :(


The foods ^^
Seriously missing it a lot now.
Now I feel that KL foods really isn't comparable. LOL.
Our first Penang meal was at somewhere around Ayer Itam morning market.

Had all these there.
Seriously love it.Not the koay chap .. dont like that. :P

Second stop for foods.
I dont know where is this though.

We had cendol and kuey teow.
Very very nice!
Especially the non spicy kuey teow =D

Third round.
A food court near the seaside.
I cant say the foods is nice. But just to cure our hungry tummy.

And our supper-dinner.
I was really sleepy and tired that time that I really dont feel like eating already.
And I dont know where is this either. Hehe..

I love this pizza a lot.
Rich with cheeses and damn nice! ^^
Available from xin jim shan at Jalan Machaslister..Penang georgetown.

Second round of supper.
At small house beside coffee island at gurney drive....

Mango crepe. Nice! ^^

This is so-so only.
Too creamy d.

Our breakfast on our second day.
This is at dian xim zhi jia....opposite KDU jalan anson. *according to my tour guide*
The dim sum is very nice and to my surprise . . cheap as well! ^^

Then our brunch at I-Dont-Know-Where.

And I-Dont-Know-What-Is-This.
I only know it is very nice!

Together with meehon fish head.
No fish head pun la. Only got fish fillet.
Love this one a lot too! Very very very nice! ^^
That's all for the trip.

And .. I bought this back as souvenir.
Hehe .. this thing really .. need to berebut to get it.
But I don't really like it too.
Don't seem to be any special for me.

Penang .. when only I will be back again?
