Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza

Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza – This Hokkien Prawn Mee is quite famous among Penangite as it’s often known for waiting long to be served and also sold out very early by 9am +++. Super Hokkien Mee is the name of the store, it’s just a gimmick telling you that it’s ‘SUPER’. Haha.

Located behind of Penang Plaza in a coffee shop called One Corner Cafe on Jalan Bawasah, Super Hokkien Mee started selling early in the morning for breakfast. I went there few days ago with my friends to check out how good it was. We ordered at 8.30am and were told that we have to wait until 9am. That’s fine for us.

Pricing was surprisingly higher at RM4.50 per bowl, just like KL-price. You know, you still can find RM2.50/bowl of Hokkien Prawn Noodle at Cecil Street Market. How about the taste? The soup does indeed taste sweeter with a strong aroma of prawn, probably cooked with lots of prawn shell. Tiny prawn slices can be seen in the soup and unfortunately, boiled egg was not present in the soup.

Overall, it tastes good, but somehow might lazy to wait and wake up early for it again. XD Will try another one that sells out early at Pulau Tikus soon.

(Almost) Sunset: Shore In Front Of E&O Hotel

(Almost) Sunset: Shore In Front Of E&O Hotel – I just found another way that can have a good view of sunset in George Town. It’s introduced by my brother and the location is by the shore in front of E&O (Eastern & Oriental) Hotel or Penang Bowl. Some other popular sunset spot in Penang are Balik Pulau, Batu Ferringhi & Permatang Damar Laut.

Although you can’t really see the sun set into the horizon of the vast sea, but you can frame in a good view of Gurney Drive & Tanjung Tokong with Penang Hill in background.

Penang Port, sad that it’s sold to Tanjung Pelepas Port to serve as feeder port.

Straits Quay, Tanjung Pinang.

I parked my car at E&O Mult-story Carpark and went to shoot a while at about 7pm. It’s still early so the sun was still up above the sky. However, it’s does indeed looks nice.

Fishing activities going on at there.

Well, Penang looks good, isn’t it?

Poster, Steamboat & Beach Street For Arron & Chien Chern

Poster, Steamboat & Beach Street For Arron & Chien Chern – The two familiar name – Arron & Chien Chern once again appeared on my blog. Haha. Arron & Chien Chern, both are my best buddy who are flying off soon, one to India and another to Liverpool, UK. Main subject of the post is Arron as he is flying off real soon and secondly, we just celebrated Chien Chern’s birthday, last night on Beach Street – very randomly.

I don’t know where to start with. Two days ago, I went to PIK NIK CAFE to meet up with Arron, Simon, Chien Chern, Raykee and Liang Sun to give out a big piece of poster as a memory for him as he is going off to India for further studies. What’s worst with India is he has to be there for the next 5 years. WOW. Ok, so I printed a collage photos of him for him. (I want to complain that printing in Penang is freaking expensive! KL is 60% cheaper for the same size. SUCKS.)

Then yesterday, we went to steamboat get-together at the Town Steamboat House, which we used to get-together a few years back. Price has increased from RM19.90 to RM22.90. Soup taste is getting lousier, it’s not as fun as before and it was oily hot!

After steamboat, Beach Street was our next destination. Chilling out at Logan Cruise Steak House with in-house special beverage. At 12am, we just sang birthday song and talk crap by the road side. So, farewell Arron, and Chien Chern and all. It seems like many people are going elsewhere, and I’m gonna stay here in Malaysia. Do you think Malaysia is a good place to live in the next 1o years? I have to consider that after this coming general election.

Tropfest Penang 2012

Tropfest Penang 2012 – Went to Tropfest – The World’s Largest Short Film Festival which was also the last event of the month-long George Town Festival 2012. It’s my first time checking out a ‘film festival’ and also watching film at the outdoor, so close the nature. It was held at the Quarry Park of Penang’s Botanical Garden. Seating were on the nature grass floor.

It’s a good experience, together with few hundreds people watching the professional short film from around the world. I thought it’s a projector screen but instead it was a very huge LED screen.

Tropfest was actually originated from Australia, where filmmaker showcases shortfilm in a small gathering in a cafe named Tropicana Cafe, sooner it’d became a annual festival for short filmmaker around the world, becoming Tropfest of today. If you’ve missed it nevermind, you can check it out again next year at this month.

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng (Goddess Of Mercy Temple) – Came back to Penang feels so good, it’s so much colourful and culture-ful when compare to the fast moving city of Kuala Lumpur. Just a few days ago, I was driving around the little city of George Town, passed by the Goddess Of Mercy Temple at Pitt Street and found that there’s a Chinese opera was going on.

Chinese opera often plays during some religious month of the Goddess. I am not sure about what was it about but I just find it interesting. I parked my car, went to do some prayers and snap a few photos of the Chinese opera set up right in front of the temple.

I wasn’t very sure about the dialogue, just understand like half-half. If there’s subtitle, it would be great. =D The opera team came all the way from Muar, Johor.

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut – I went looking for a nice sunset at Permatang Damar Laut, Batu Maung there because I’ve seen before some nice sunset photos taken at there and some photographer friends told me that it’s a good location. Unfortunately, the sky was not blue enough and the worst was the sun was not setting at the location it supposed to be. Maybe because it’s Summer time that the sun slanted a bit? No idea. Anyway, it seems to be a good place and I will come back some other day when the sky is really clear.

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress – Hello people, sorry for being away for so long, life is just so busy with school and my blog actually got hacked but some stupid people recently and now what you are seeing is a new theme for my blog. Well, guess where am I, I am back to my lovely hometown – Penang!

Gonna enjoy this short 3 weeks holiday to the max in this city, find all my friends, spend time with girlfriend, family and explore more new stuff in Penang!

Today, I was cruising along Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway to Batu Maung and spotted the Penang Second Bridge in progress, parked the car by the roadside and went to check it out. It looks very magnificent and is looking forward towards its completion.

It’s gonna be the longest bridge in South East Asia but sad that there’s one have to pay toll to cross that bridge. Since it’s long, you are gonna burn more fuel too. HAHA. How I wish there’s a undersea tunnel on the other end of the Penang island. One more thing, it’s expected to complete in November 2013, long way to go!

‘Boy On Motorbike’ 3D Wall Mural At Lebuh Ah Quee

‘Boy On Motorbike’ 3D Wall Mural At Lebuh Ah Quee by Ernest Zacharevic – The famous painter artist in Penang who did the scary kung fu girl, the 3D bicycle brother and sister and more wall mural has did one latest mural again at Lebuh Ah Quee, just a street next to Armenian Street which features a young boy painted on the wall riding on a real motorcycle mounted to the wooden door.

Cool right? I didn’t get a chance to take closer photo of it cause I was just passing by that place. I’ve read that there’s another nice mural at Chew Jetty by Ernest too! Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to explore around as I only back to Penang for a short weekend, moreover it’s more likely a business return-home trip to me. Next holiday, I’m gonna go explore all the cool street wall art of George Town!

Video: Cleaner Greener Penang – ‘Use Recycled Bag’

Video: Cleaner Greener Penang – ‘Use Recycled Bag’ – The Pakatan Rakyat Penang State Government has recently uploaded a few video on their Youtube channel to show what they have done for Penang since 2008’s general election. One of their effort is to create a cleaner, greener Penang with promoting ‘No Plastic Bag Day’.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dezDrybEWdQ]

At first I was kinda uncomfortable with the initiatives because I always forgotten to bring my own recycled bag. But later, I get used to it. Mom’s handbag always has a small recycled bag, and in the car too. If really really forgotten to bring, just pay extra RM0.20 which contributes to the charity, not bad right?

In Selangor, it’s only Saturday, but in Penang, it’s everyday! That’s good also, save the environment. =) Next, keep Penang really clean, no littering around. =)
