The Penang Trip !

My dearest Mr.hedgiie had realised our wish and planned us a trip to PENANG! Im really excited for it as this road trip has been in my cravings =) I love my dear weiii.. so JOM.. here we go.. but he drives laaaa XD we both dont know any roads of Penang and yet we just borrowed a GPS with Malaysia Map and start our journey to the north! indeed, we are adventurous =)

credit to mr.little lionel, his Garmin GPS has been real useful =)

So Penang here we come lu ! We reached Penang at about 4pm in the evening. well why so late? due to the delicious lunch at Ipoh, Onn Kee chicken rice Restaurant. Was alot of people queueing even its a late lunch time. Remember that when we were on the Penang Bridge, Biie was asking Dear that : "Eh dear, the Penang Bridge will fold into half de a?" alright i know it sounded hilarious.. LOL

So here's the sunny sandra with sunglasses and excited smile =)
So not to mention about the hardrock hotel as it was just going for the hotel instead of Penang i would say. hmm i felt in love with the Tune Hotel by Air Asia located at the downtown of Penang. Check in was pretty easy, only with printed details by the customers and few more clicks on the computer touch screen and got the room access card swaped, that's it! the room is now yours to be in used =)
The standard room that we had is not big but is pretty just nice for 2 of us. In a standard room you dont have TV, Towels, Hairdryer as well as Air-con. However you can top up with that by paying let say, hairdryer - RM1/stay, Aircon - RM13.50/12hours, Towels - RM5/stay. All you have to do is just pay the amount and they will swap the card and there you go with your prepaid aircon. by the time you insert the access card at your room, on the aircon and the time will start counting down from 12 hours .. well i found thats COOL!

For the 1st day of trip we have been to kek lok si for the largest standing Kuan Yin on top of the hill. Its good to come and bai bai at here when you come to penang =)

on the extended day, biiebiie planned a road trip to the snake temple and then cross over to bukit mertajam for lunch and drive up to port and use the water lane to get back to georgetown. water lane as in getting our car on the ferry and us as well then there it goes.. A back and forth way on the ferry costs us RM7.70 well which worth a try as an exprience =)





from this shot through the blue triangle arrow, you can see that the GPS is imperfect LOL its pointing that the car is going through water XD owells.. thats the interesting part, it doesnt show water lane but roads mostly HAHA.

Here comes the delicious Food :

the very famous chaw kuey tiao at the Lorong Selamat. Urgh, we really have to spend some time to loook for it since it has moved to another corner which was actually few blocks away.. iish iish.. it made us go round and round for many times.. but well its worth a try, the prawns are very big LOL

Here is the white wantan mee at bukit mertajam =) not like those wantan mee mix with black oil, this wantan mee you see nothing but just plain one. but NICE! i wanted to try again if we could make another trip =) and the best CENDOL at bukit mertajam too! Then we tried alot more such as FRIED OYSTER along the way to Batu Feringgi. LAKSA, ICE KACANG, SATAY at the night street at Jalan Macalister.. yumm.. HEES X)
so finally, here's the sweet Dear&Biie at Penang. Celebrated my dear's 21st birthday with him at Penang, even though the suprises didnt go very well but anyway its still full with loves. Once again, Happy 21st Birthday to my dear. Im happy to have you with me and thanks for the trip. It was relaxing and we really did spend a lot of times together =)
Looking forward to the next trip =)
Nitex people..!
