Penang trip

I went back to Penang last week for leisure and work. After a few stops along the ever congested highway, I arrived Penang around 3pm. First sight that greats me at the Penang bridge, is the welcoming Penang jam. Traffic was bumper to bumper. Imagine, it took us 45 mins to cross the bridge. I know, I am back!

The Penang bridge welcoming party

First thing we did (Aylwin, Li-Ann, Chih Wei, Mee Siing and myself), we head straight to the Swatow lane for lunch. Aylwin and the rest arrive earlier while Mee Siing and myself arrive later.

Swatow lane Ice kacang with fruits. Yummy!

Kimberley Street Char Keow Teow with mantis prawn. heavenly!

Had a good time eating and chatting and at the same time, planning how to spend the next three days in Penang with them. I stay much longer, for 9 days. 3 days in Penang, took us food hunting everywhere, from Penang island to Batu Kawan in Butterworth for food. Every body have their own '5 cents worth' which stall sells nicer 'char keow teow', so, we took more than 5 times of 'char keow teow'. Our very own famous blogger from Kuching, Kenny, once try to have his Penang Food guide.

We went for movie too.. Die Hard 4. Great movie but a lot of unrealistic move by Bruce Willis. All of us enjoy it so much.

However, the trip to Penang is not all play and no work. I have to work from Monday to Friday in Kepala Batas. Waking up at 615am to leave for Kepala Batas Mardi is the killer of the trip. We have to leave by 645am simply just to avoid the madness jam.

The scarecrow to that greats us every morning. Doesn't it look like its directing the birds to the paddy field???

While in Penang, I took the time to visit the Lorong Kulit. If you have not been to this place, and you are an 'junk @ antics' lovers, this is a must visit place. If you like anything at all, this place is a must. You can get anything from under the sky, food, hand phone & accesories, fruits, groceries, clothings, antics, second hand magazine and etc. You name it, you can find it. You can even find people selling aphrodiasic with funny 'action'. His tag line

Once you take it, it goes zoinneee...

???? Can't brings you any pics though. sorry

You can even find the stering wheel in Lorong Kulit. Simply amazing.

Opens saturday and sunday in the morning till noon
