My Trip to Penang

I know. This post should be posted a long long time ago.. BUT .. here goes..XD
Penang- the pearl of the Orient is famous for its food. And I obviously will not miss up on such a good chance to try good food. As first timers in Penang , we headed to the hawker stalls in Gurney drive in the afternoon for our first meal .( Yeah, I know the stalls are not open ) As we were very hungry and the stalls were not open, we had to settle for :
McD

Yup.
Our first meal in Penang was McD. Haha.
After food , we went to burn some calories at the mall nearby - Gurney Plaza

But what's that dude up to ?


& I never knew Evelyn had a shop here ? LOL..& who is Crabtree by the way ?
(Actually, Crabtree and Evelyn is known throughout the world for its distinguished range of naturally inspired body, face and home products.)

After walking around for a day, we were back again to food hunting. Although the sky looks like I was going to rain, I decided that we would still go and try out the food at Gurney Drive hawker stalls.
Typical hawker stalls
Fried kueh teow ( which was quite expensive in my opinion)

Apparently its called pie tie ( and it tasted great )
Endless supply of food ( as long as yo have $$) OMG..Imagine all the weight you can gain .


I would say that my maiden trip to Penang would be an eating trip instead of a sightseeing trip. However, there were still some interesting places which we visited .
With this I shall let photos do the taking about the rest of my days in Penang.





This is the chicken rice shop recommended by Jessica. XD
Food ..Food ..Its an eating trip after all . =p The ferry.Next time, I should try one of this

Or maybe a ride in the trishaw .

But , I really must thank Wen Hong @ DOTA and Tun Lee for bringing us around. XD.
& NOT to forget the others for their company. Hahah. I like this photo very much. I even send it to the Office of Undergraduate Admission of Upenn. I wonder if they liked it ?? Haha..
