As I am posting these photos of my trip to Penang, I am salivating. If you all want a short getaway where you can eat a lot of cheap and yummy food, just fly to Penang! But don't visit a really famous hawker stretch (don't know whether it is Love Lane or New Lane?) on Wednesday night as the stalls will be closed.
Oh my... this is like the best prawn mee ever!! It is spicy and the prawn broth... Indescribably rich! We were saying it's better than the one at BLOCK 3! Plus point: It costs only RM$3 per bowl and that's less than SGD$1.50!
Clearing up our plates on our first dinner at Penang! It is super good because you can see how clean our plates are. We shared everything!
Check it out! Peace and Joy coffeeshop! Hahaha! Wouldn't be surprised if the owner is a Christian (:
*cue 小娘惹主题曲* This is the Peranankan Museum where they filmed Channel 8's "Little Nonya"
Yours truly on the Peranakan Thinking Chair. They even have a Kissing/Couple Chair! Haha... the Peranakans are such interesting people.
We're the nonyas and babas... check out the intricate carvings on the doors! This is their dining hall
My favourite authentic Penang chendol revisited. HAPPY!!!
Check out the A&W at Gurney Plaza! We had curly fries, waffles and root beer float. Really, please A&W, can you please come back. If Dunkin' Donuts can make a comeback, why not yoooooooo.
We also went to watch a movie - Ip Man 2 in Cantonese! But anyway, they have English, Malay and Chinese subtitles, so no worries about not understanding Canto. We were queuing for popcorn. Guess how much's the movie tickets? Only RM$6 which is a mere SGD$2.60 (approx) for a ticket. CRAZY INSANE!!!!
Apparently this hotel located near Gurney Drive, called G Hotel is 6-star. We went to crash their hotel lobby. Hahaha
A very angry car - note the cursing and swearing on the car plate. We laughed our heads off!
Piping hot bak kut teh after our Gurney Drive dinner (which in my humble opinion, wasn't the most most fantastic). Five of us had this big claypot of soup to share whilst the guys ordered a bowl of rice each. It costs less than RM$30 if I never remember wrongly.
A unique 3-layer drink JM ordered which I will one day hope to replicate. The bottom-most layer is sticky gula melaka, the middle - condensed milk and the topmost layer - milk tea. It screams THOUSANDS OF CALORIES! But when you're in Penang, my suggestion is to forget about calories and just eat!
The very expensive breakfast at a beehoon place near our hotel - Sunway Georgetown on our last day. The big big prawn is pretty good but I wouldn't suggest anyone coming here if they are only left with less than RM$50 on their last day.
The view from our hotel room. Pretty impressive ah?
Here ends my entry on my Penang trip. It is truly a foodie's paradise! I'll definitely go back again when I feel like pigging out again. Yummilicious. Slurp slurp.
