Journey to Penang

It was an awesome trip. I've never been to Penang before hence I was psych about everything. On many previous attempt to go there have failed to transportation, wrong timing etc etc etc. This time we managed to booked a flight from AirAisa at a short period of time with reasonable price due to a promotion. Credit to my Penang friends for planning all this trip for us.

Our flight ticket via kiosk

Our flight on the digital board still like the analog type

Before departure

It was a short flight though. On the arrival, we headed to Queensbay Mall. More about that in later post. After walking around the mall, we went to Gurney Drive to have our dinner.

View of Gurney Drive

There are two things I notice in my first few hour in Penang, first wherever you park, there are parking "guardians" in-charge in every parking space you can think off giving you parking ticket.

Some places still using parking meter whereas Melaka uses "scratch and win" method.

Secondly, if you go places like food court in Gurney Drive, you see lots "famous" word imprinted in front of their stall. It is kinda confusing to choose famous char kuay teow when you see it all around you. Thanks to local guidance we got a better advice in narrowing our choices.

Cheese Steamboat!!

OMG~ I was first introduced by my friend in fb. On the very first thought it must be nice and temptingly delicious and on the second thought, we must be dipping the thick melting cheese texture that will make us fat. You need to come and experience it yourself, hence I drag few of friends there.

The shop is pretty much easy to spot... It is 2 blocks away from Mahkota Hospital and 1 block behind the Station 1 Cafe. The restaurant is facing the main road.

On their menu, they have lots of type of steamboat and many other chinese cuisine dishes are available there but our my point was CHEESE STEAMBOAT~

Here they come... All seafood

and

See!! Not as what I describe above, it is not thick at all but it is watery cheesy....

Glutinous rice dumpling festival with my friends and family

Glutinous rice dumpling festival is here again but this year kind of different because I've celebrated with my friends and family. Min Jie, Nelson, Tat Heng, Catherine, Gan , David and Avalyn came to my house to dine. LOL~ my mother so happy when people love her foods....

Christmas!! Hunting my sister's Pink Sony

It's Christmas!!!

My dad promises my sister to buy a Sony DSC-TX1 for her and he just did that...

So we went to Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade to search for her Pink Sony. LOL

I love the name Pink Sony. From now on I'm calling her camera Pink Sony...

before that we went for Alvin and The Chipmunks

LOL Theodore is super cute!! After we finished the movie, we head to hunt my sister's

Pink Sony. Guess what?! We finally found her Pink Sony in Pakard MP O-N-L-Y.

Then on our way to get our car, we stumbled across Jacker's hot-air balloon ready to fly...

So I grabbed my sister's Pink Sony and try her twilight mode.

LOL cunted.... My sister so happy. I guessed she cannot sleep tonight...

Dine at Simply Fish

We can never say no to culinary delights that makes our taste bud go crazy and tempers our stomach...

Thus, after our class me and uni-mate drive our way from campus to Simply Fish @ Melaka Raya to eat our dinner.

We ordered:

Marina Fish for Kristy

Naked Fish for Stephanie

Baked Tomato Fish for me

And here something special for our appetizer

I presents you Simply Fish's Special of The Day dish...

Err... I mean Special of Three Day Ago dish

Pan Grilled & Cod Fish

It do reminds me the fish I ate for my lunch at Takayama-shi(高山市) before me and my foster visiting UNESCO Traditional Straw House Village because you can eat the entire fish including bones. The taste is different. The one I ate in Japan was cooked with Teriyaki sauce but the one I ate at Simply Fish is pan grilled and dipped into mayonnaise for extra taste. Both do taste good though.

I love this shot with Stephanie behind it...
