>Penang Food Trip: Finale

>Okay…this will be the Penang Food Trip finale post…so….to match with the title…this post will solely focus on food….

We went for dinner at Chai Leng Park…a place I used to go very frequent during childhood….

Now lets get food serious… Mi Tai Bak aka Lou Shu Fun was one of my favorite and the serving style is totally different from KL…

I hardly get bored with it!

I also had Hokkien Mee aka Prawn Mee….

You hardly find such Prawn Mee in an almost clear soup…it only turns chili red when you add in chili sauce…

I forgotten this and I always got it mixed up….is it Loh Mee or Lam Mee?! Anyone?!

It’s not easy to look for a good Curry Mee…even in Penang Island or mainland itself….this one was okay only….

But still a lot better than most in KL…

Mom not forgetting to buy this….

Apong has been so common that it had become a snack to me….very nice…crunchy when it’s still hot…and it won’t fill up fast…so..you can eat as much as you can!

Okay done with dinner! Just to cut the posting short…immediately now…we are going to have breakfast for the next morning…

I die die will try all the Curry Mee that I stumbled upon….even I know the best Curry Mee was in BM morning market…but it’s just that I won’t be able to wake up that early to eat it…..sigh….

So here’s the curry mee I tasted in Bukit Tengah for breakfast…

So far this is the best among those curry mee that I tried on previous days…

And sister finally able to order Mee Jawa….

Not bad also….boleh tahan ar!!!

Alright…Done…Mission Accomplished for the food trip and after the breakfast…we straight head back to KL…

See you next round…thanks for viewing and hope that the food at least makes you feel a little hungry by now….bye! ^_____^

>Penang Food Trip: Laksa Durian

>It’s time to get hungry…and we drove all the way to Batu Ferringhi and planning to find something to eat there as we go round the island via Teluk Bahang.

We wanted to eat Assam Laksa which is from Malay….and at first we saw one makcik at the road side….however…we just gave up due to not able to stop by and happen that there’s no customer…so…we just proceed further….

Okay…we got it….here’s the Assam Laksa…

This Assam Laksa taste so bad…and I never eat one served with Sardine Fish…OMG CAN! (Later only we found that the makcik that we had missed was suppose to be the one actually taste best….fainted!)

And so….we just proceed to round island after the ugly taste of Assam Laksa…

It’s very coincidence that we saw this….

At that time…there shouldn’t be any one selling durian….but according to the man..it’s from old tree…which taste not the best…not so great…but it’s not bad after all….

If you want to tell the durian is good or not…I think you should be able to judge from this expression….

Mom enjoyed it a lot!!!

Okay…done with durian…continue round back to George Town and preparing to have dinner later….

We are going to have our dinner back in mainland…so…will be right back with promising food…. ^____^

>Penang Food Trip: Sleeping Buddha

>Since we not hungry yet…and it’s not time for lunch yet…we went to visit another sacred place…The Sleeping Buddha…and it’s located at Pulau Tikus.

But before we went in to the temple…opposite of the road is another temple…a Burmese temple…so…we decided to visit it first…

Lets go…

The first thing we did was to visit the Buddha and say some prayer first…

There’s something really amazed me alot…look at the ceiling carving and deco…

Although that was not my first time visit…but only now I noticed that the ceiling deco is superb impressive….

It’s real nice!

Okay! Done with the Burmese temple….next….

The Sleeping Buddha is real long….

and I’ve no idea how it is…

Done with the visit! It’s time to fill up our stomach…next will be back on track…FOOD…I’m coming!!!

>Penang Food Trip: The Pagoda

>Okay…after breakfast….we went to a nearby hotspot for tourist…. “Kek Lok Si” …. a temple up on the hill with a well known Pagoda as well as the giant statue of God of Mercy.

If I’ve not mistaken….that was my first time visit this place via the drive in entrance….Previously we used to walk up a very long stair case to reach the temple…and it seems like now is very much convenient….(Thumbs Up!)

In the temple…we prayed for a while…

Besides praying…I now pay more attention to the interior built-up …. the ceiling looks real complex to me….

Not only the ceiling…but the pillar as well…

We then walk around the temple…and FYI, the temple compound is quite large….

Here’s a view of the Pagoda ….

The whole temple…only this arch…only this sign….has the actual name of the temple….”Kek Lok Si”

We kept on walk around and snap some more photos….

Here is a photo of the view of George Town…

Another view of George Town together with the temple…

Nice can!

When we are about to leave the temple and heading to the next destination….

the dark clouds arrived and it’s the signal for us to leave…..okay then…time to move on …. and more photos coming….kthxbye for now! ^____^”

>Penang Food Trip: Food Faces

>The night before in Penang was not so great….but today we are going to make it a better one…

Before I go further…here are some shots of my family during our breakfast at Air Itam area…

Here they are…ever entertaining Sister!

Posing Dad!

Serious Mom!

Okay…now lets make our way to a better day in Penang…

The taste of this hokkien mee was okay…but not great…(just to let you know…the day wasn’t pleasant at all…caused it was super difficult to look out for food on that day…we really have no idea??!! The whole Penang was like sleeping in the middle of the week!)

So immediately…we jumped to the next stall….with some hope…

Phewww!!! At least this round was a little satisfying…and I consider this as better than nothing at all…

Okay! Lets get over it more food later….next will be going places for a while…and since we’re in Air Itam…we decided to pay a visit to the nearby sacred place…..a place I missed since my teenage era….can you guess where it is?!

Will be back with more photos….stay tune! ^____^”

>Penang Food Trip: Old Style

>Back to last month when I had a whole week off from my office….I went for a short vacation with my family locally. I normally used to go places with my family at least once a year….but for this year…it’s a little too early for us to do so…but who really cares…sooner or later also the same…

So here we repeat it…Penang again…(seems like we are not getting bored with it)…our objective for this short trip will be hunting for food … lets go!

The first night…we were at Penang Island…and we went to look for supper around the corner where we stayed….(it’s nearby love lane and Japanese New Lane)

We found this place….

a pretty old place…and we decided to give it a shot…

while waiting for our food….I snapped some photos around…

There’s nothing interesting about this photo….it’s just that I love how my 50mm prime lens performed….^___^

This backlane feel real like those Hong Kong triad movies…and there’s also those youngster with tattoo sitting at the entrance of the the back lane…pretty scarry huh!!!

Okay…food was served and I found that nothing was tasty and interesting….and especially this….

Yackkkss! I don’t know why my mom ordered this….the taste was pretty awful…

The first time I tried such curry mee in Penang….

I really didn’t expect such food can be found in Penang….it’s really a no no….so…don’t simply try it…better still….avoid it!!!

A better tomorrow iz coming….please come back later…
