Penang Trip 2011~

Ola everyone..., Since I feel like writing at the moment.., so I'm up for it.. Yeay!~ Okie dokie.., Last Friday until Sunday (4th-6th March 2011), Me, and my other two colleague (Nabeel and Anique).., have been to Penang Island for a weekend getaway.. F.Y.I, Anique was a Penangian.. So, it should be no problem for us to travel all over part of the island..

We departed from SZB (Subang Skypark Airport) on Friday at 1440 hours flight schedule with Firefly airline.. Cute stewardess tho!~~ The most interesting part in it is that all the three of us managed to buy the tix with our Crew ID price.., Which is very reasonable for us.., (the fare was like if you take a normal bus fares back to Penang from KL) Yikes!!~~ hahaha~

When we reached Penang 45 minutes later.., we straight away go for makan-makan near Padang Kota.., to eat Mee Sotong... Great food, and plus I ordered the ABC., Nice mixture when you eat it with Mee Sotong.. I cry my nose off.. sighs!~~ Next, we went for Hotel hunting... and end up one night at Hotel Naza Talyya.. Nice hotel, good food for breakfast and nice view from the beach... :)

On the first night, we managed to go to dinner at one fine Malay restaurant., and to tell you the truth.., the food was awesome!!~ and then we went to Queensbay Mall for a window shopping session.. huhuu~

On the second day, I woke up quite early arounnd 8am like that.., then all of us had our breakfast at the hotel cafe.. We ate like giants.., Firsly I had my cereal breakfast, then followed by fried meehoon, some sausages and chicken ham.., After that, I took another set of omelette prepared by the hotel chefs.. and finally I got to try this steamed 'roti manis'.. and drinks I drink some juice and also a cup of tea.. What a monster huhh??

After that, all of us get ready to check out from the hotel in the afternoon and ready for hotel hunting somewhere in Batu Feringghi.. which is the core place for the tourist to hang out and relax their mind.. To tell you the truth, I haven't visit Penang for the last three years.., So many developments and places to chill out.. I love Malaysia!~

Lunch time.., me, nabeel n anique went to this one place near the muara sungai which I really don't know the place.. We had a nice fresh fish from the see.. Let me show you guys the picture instead of describing it..

And our eating journey doesn't stop there.., Next we went to Chowrasta Road which is located in the middle of the town just to have this 'kelapa special' and also the cucur udang made by the cool uncles and brothers there..

The way he cook it really inspires me~

Then, we go to the fruit pickles factory in the Island as well... It was very fresh fruits to be processed and also we directly buys it from them.. hahaha~~

Later on the second day.., our hotel hunting session began and we managed to secure Hard Rock hotel at Penang.. We got the corporate rate as well.. hehehe~~ and the rest is history.. Walawehh!~~


Swimming by the poolside while listening to the live band music..

 Night life will not be complete at feringghi if you guys didn't visit the night street market.. To tell you the truth, it was really fun to bargain on the items that you really intend to buy especially to those DVD movie collector.. and 'cuci mata' along the street makes me feel young again.. haha~



choose the handbags that you want at the price you want~~

 I bought a souvenir for myself.., which is a signature penang t-shirt.. :) The third day.., which was on Sunday.., we had a breakfast at the mainland of Penang (Permatang Pauh), and the price for my breakfast was very cheap.., I had one nasi lemak, two kuih and one teh tarik with the cost of RM2.20 only!~~ what a happy man I am..

After that, We straight away went to this Lorong Kulit., whereby all antique and modern items are been traded here.. Really excites me to explore the market.. :)

Lunch time, we went to this 'kedai makan' located at Kepala Batas., where all the seafood items were provided (ikan bakar, sotong, udang, daging salai dll). I really enjoyed my food very much... It only cost you around RM10 for the lunch with one plate of rice, the meat, the squid, fish curry, roasted chicken as well as the sambal tempoyak.. nyam2~

Well.., those were the activities that we made through out the weekend.. I wish that I could this more often tho but.., but when I start to fly soon.., it will be more things to come..~ We touched down at SZB on Sunday at 1820 hours safely.., I will get back to you guys with other stories.., if I have one laa.. till then.. Chow sin..~
