Northern style Prawn Mee which is very different from what you find in KL.
Our first stop in Penang was the obligatory Snake Temple which has lost its charm from many years ago. There were a few small snakes in the temple whose owners were trying to get us to take photographs for a charge of RM 25! Cut throat o! There wasn't much of a scenery to take photos there too. So, after using the toilet and going one round, we left to find the famous Penang Cendol in one of the alleyways. It tastes special because they add a bit of Tuak in it. DE-LICIOUS!
Very good Cendol!
What is a trip to Penang without having the famous Char Koay Teow. We had to wait for almost 45 minutes for the famous Char Koay Teow even though not many were there. But...our expectations must be too high coz it was not as good as we expected it to be.
Waiting for the Char Kuay Teow took so long that it made the stuffed us sleepy!
Then, we went to Kek Lok Si temple. Much has been improved since the last I went with my schoolmates back in '96. There is even a cablecar-elevator thingy now!
Posers!
In the elevator-cable car thing.
After Kek Lok Si temple, we went to eat Asam Laksa! It was good but I think the one that my mom makes is better. :P
The famous Asam Laksa.
By then, the sky has turned slightly dark. So, off we went to Gurney Plaza for a walk before setting out to Gurney Drive to eat again. I was actually a little disappointed with the lack of good food that day. The only delicious food we had there was fried chicken skin. The others were mediocre.
With a full belly, we went for a walk along Gurney Drive.
Aduh! Sakit kepala!
And after that, we headed back to Kedah.
On the ferry to get back to the mainland.
Tired. But still want to gamble. Hahaha...
