penang road trip: part I

this post has been delayed for a week haha!! can i use 'work' as an excuses for the delay??

on my 1st day. i arrived at penang on 3pm. looking for places to stay. we went to feringghi. i am such a beach lover. and it's not easy to find hotel, motel or guesthouse. the receptionist or the owner will say 'i'm sorry. we are fully booked' it's public holiday. you should expect this. so we end up at baba's guesthouse. it's ok. clean. and facing the beach.

penang is fun. the road is quite busy. maybe because of the public holiday. or because of the small road. i've been stucked at the jam. it is nothing less like kl's jam. but still i love penang. because of the building. yes i am such a vintage-heritage-classic person. i am into that kinda building. mystic. memorable. and unique.

i went to few interesting places. i did marked those places on my map. Penang Hills. E&O Building. Fort Cornwallis. Chew's Jetty. and more. but due to limited time and bad traffic. i only went to the places i listed on the top. *sigh* i took some photos. buildings. the road. peoples. none of me.

it's hard to find local food. i mean halal's food. most of the hawkers are chinese. few malays. it's frustrating. because penang known for their delicious food. and i am craving for that. luckily we found some at Tg Bungah. and it's worth. delicious. yummy. laksa penang!!

and i was extremely happy. i managed to found chew's jetty. have u ever watch 'ice kacang puppy love?' some of the scene has been recorded here!! it's beautiful. i have no words to describe it. it's a chinese clan. the houses are beautiful. u can smell the fresh sea air. and i love it!!

i am a bit lazy to type every single moments happen during the vacation so let's make it shorten!! i'll randomly post photos from the first day of my vacation at penang!! and please wait for the part II of penang's vacation!! lots of photos will be uploaded!!


the best jagung bakar ever!! i had it every single night at penang.

the second day breakfast by the beach. it cost me rm1.90 per person.
it's cheap huh!!

at penang hill's railway!!

it's public holiday. i didn't went up to the hill.
i hate waiting. it might waste my precious 3hours.

one of the building inside the fort cornwallis.
it's like a small house. a really2 small house.

yes!! this is the laksa penang at Tg Bungah i mention earlier.

E&O Building!!

Chew's Jetty!!!
