Three Weeks' Chronicles: Part 3

And now, the last part of the chronicles, the trip to Penang!

The night where I ate at Tenji, I, as well as KK and Wai Ming, went to YY's house to stay as we were going to depart on the next day. However, we didn't manage to move earlier as Warren was late.

It took us about 5 hours to reach Penang, whereby we stepped into HH's house in Penang at almost 6pm. We were staying there by the way. Then we went to a buffet dinner which made me not so hyped to eat already due to the lunch on the previous day and the amount I had to eat to make the buffet worth the value. Furthermore, it's not local specialties.

We visited Queensbay Mall later that night and ate again at midnight. This time it was better. I love the squid and chee-cheong-fun. Then, we played pool games. Erm, why did we do those activities where we can do in KL as well? =P

The next morning we ate Hokkien Mee (not the KL's one) and the soup base is much better than the ones in KL. In case you still don't know, Penang Hokkien Mee=KL Prawn Mee. Then we went to Bukit Bendera by taking the cable car (train?). The weather was a little bit misty and I enjoyed it.

After that we continued our food quest by visiting another restaurant for Asam Laksa. There's also "Ching Bu Liang", a special refreshment. Followed up next was the purchase of famous Penang biscuits and layer cakes, then another restaurant with Char Kuey Teow and Cendol. The cendol's red beans is so nice that I who not really enjoy eating red beans can taste its goodness.

Sadly, we went to Gurney Plaza for nothing but pool again... =( Not playing long though. Not to be forgotten the journey to beach, although for just awhile. At night, we went for dinner at somewhere near Bayan Lepas after fetching YY's cousin, Fang Khee. She looks mature anyway. We ate a lot of nice seafood there.

Most of us became tired after that where we slept quite early I supposed. The next noon, we ate our final lunch before leaving Hock Heng and his girlfriend, Ann Ting (is it correct?). Thank you Hock Heng for becoming our tour guide.

The journey back home had to stop halfway as I had to visit my grandma at somewhere near Kampar. We picked some rambutans and ate two very nice papayas. Thank you po po.

The trip came to an end after we ate our dinner at Lookout Point, Bandar Mahkota Cheras. I went home with a tiring body and slept for 13 hours before I woke up on the next day. ^^
