Penang food trip ~Day1~

* Before starting this entry, there's a few person I'll keep mentioning till the end of the trip, which is...

from left, Kent, Juin, Stephanie, Chuen, Vivien, and of course me.

It was 2 weeks ago...when Kent, Yi Juin promised to pay my fren n i a visit. Living here ain't easy, as u don't get to see ur frens regularly, back thr in kl almost every weekend must have a night out with yam cha group. So it's a thrill to see them again, eventhough not the entire group.

But then along came a surprise. Stephanie and Vivien has tagged along as well! Both of them has a reputation of counting themselves out of events most of the time, even if they've promised to join earlier. (oops sorry girls, but u 2 really let me down a few times be4) XD

So after picking me up from work, we head to pick Chuen up. And after a round of recalling the old roads and ways to get around by Kent (he's the driver cum "GPS") and got into the wrong road, come back out and back on track, we reached gurney drive and picked Chuen up, of course with say a 20 minutes of waiting. So after he got on the car, the twins popped up and surprised him!! Though he just replied with a cold "hey! hello." greeting. Maybe he was expecting them all along? Anyway, now the food!!!

The place we had our dinner at. It's located in Ayer Itam, but more specifically, it's near sunway hotel.

First we searched for the reputedly most delicious char kuey teow in penang, among the least who's still using charcoal stove to stir fry the delicacy. But sadly she was having a day off. So we have resorted to the alternative, another char kuey teow stall, which is also not bad.Char Kuey Teow (non charcoal stove fried)

Other than that, we've also ordered a few famous local delicacies, such as

"Hokkien mee". A.k.a Har Mee in other places.Again, with "Lor" soup. I like this better somehow.

"Orr Jien". Which is basically osyter cake fried with eggs. You may have this somewhere else, but it's nowhere as good as in Penang. "You Yuu Ong Choi". Cuttlefish with kangkung.

Curry Mee. This is from 1 of the famous stall in Ayer Itam, for its curry mee. Roasted Chicken Wings. yummy =p

Another yummy porridge.=p If you are a pork and its gut's fans.

And after meal, we go for the dessert stall.

The local's favourite dessert stall, selling sweet soups.

The noted delights are

"Bai Guo T'hng". Gingko sweet soup. Though im not a fan of ginko, this suits my appetite =p

"Xin Ren Cha". Almond sweet soup. Taste kinda funny, but nice.

And after the full and scrumptious meal, we went g Hotel for a little "camwhoring".

Back to g Hotel again. This is a good place to have a look at, it's architecture and interior design is stunning. It'd be a nice place to stay if u're gonna spend ur vacation in Penang, if u can afford the rates. (Normally priced at RM400++ per night)
lobby. 1 thing to note is the colour changing bar top lighting. Also featuring its comfortable and stylish couches.
Start by testing the comfortability of the couch =p

The ladies~

SIDE STORY!!!

U're probably tired of watching all those photos above. Now let's relax a bit and enjoy a 3 picture based comedy ^^,Situation : A man (acted by me) was talking on his cellphone while he was confronted by 2 phone salesman. (acted by Kent and Juin)

Salesgirl :"Mister mister, wa i saw the way u talk to ur phone very handsome o! but i got another phone that when u use it it make u look more handsome!like Wu Zhun u know?!?"
A man :" WA! got shadow mou!let me see what kind of phone so ba bai! now i holding it got become a bit like Wu Zhun or not?"
Salesgirl :"Got!just holdin it d face ady changing, imagine talking with it!"
A man :" LOL...how much?"
Salesman :" hehe....u whr got look like Wu Zhun...u look like Choi Shan Yeh tim la..."

A man :" Hello?Wu Zhun speaking...hehe..."
Salesgirl :" Wa...teramat sangat handsome oh...buy d phone is a wise choice mister!" A man :" Soo desu ka? WAHAHHAHA...."

Ok...it's a lame story. Well let's continue....
"全家福" Without Chuen

Chuen's finally here! Let's take another 1.
g Hotel's swimming pool site, 3rd floor.
Swimming pool. Dont swim too near to the edge...Know what's a waterfall?

Alright, it's time to go back to our hotel. Ain't we staying at g Hotel? Nah, we fancy somewhere beach side...so we chose Tanjung Bungah Resort hotel.

In Hotel
Uno!!What's a vacation hotel night without card games?.....Well it's a vacation hotel night without card game then. =p This deck of Uno card is obsolete after we've been introduced to much more fun, interactive games.
Tadaaa!!It's Chuen birthday!!because of all the food just now we are not able to finish a whole cake. So 5 pieces of assorted Secret Recipe's would be just fine.
"I wish I can have another 100 wishes" Greed is good.
Well this concludes our 1st night. There's more to come in Day 2!! Stay tuned!! (^^.)V

Trivia

1. Stephanie and Vivien are actually non-identical twins. In fact, they are triplet, their bro wasnt here.

2. The sweet soup stall has their own designated customer's seatings. If you were to dine at another part of the hawker centre then you would have to get your desserts in take aways.

3. The curry mee is really HOT!

4. g hotel lobby has some really sleek designer's couch and chairs that would change after a period of time.

5. There's much colour changing lighting in Penang other than this bar top. Look for "Suntech" building and "Penang Times square" building.
