    Good Morning Penang! Sunrise From Gurney Drive

    Good Morning Penang! Sunrise From Gurney Drive – Woke up, shot the sunrise spontaneously, and sleep back again. Good morning! Noon reaching in half an hour time. Hehe.

    It’s weekend already and I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend ahead. Sunrise is pretty, though the muddy and dry area at Gurney Drive’s seashore is an eyesore. Come on people, let’s do something on the muddy area on Gurney Drive, bring back the glory and beauty of Gurney Drive like in the 80’s.

    Do you know that there’s actually a sandy beach in Gurney Drive back then? Sea turtles did actually come here to lay their eggs.

  • Hike Penang Hill And Ride Rapid Penang Back

    Hike Penang Hill And Ride Rapid Penang Back

    Hike Penang Hill And Ride Rapid Penang Back
    #1. Random faces.

    Hike Penang Hill And Ride Rapid Penang Back – 8 guys, including me, previously from Penang’s famous boys school, Chung Ling High School went for a hike from Botanical Garden to Penang Hill.

    Oh man! It’d been some times that I did not hike the 800+m vertical height Penang Hill for some times. The last time was like, 2 years back? It’s not easy for us, HAHA, it took us for 2 hour plus, almost 2 and a half hours to reach the top which avid hikers normally take one an a half hour non stop or some pro run up for like 45 minutes. Those who run up the slope are really crazy.


    #2: Random faces two.

    I think it’s quite reasonable for us to take such a long time up because we were having our sweet time up, talking, joking and laughing all the way. Now I rethink whether I can climb the Mount Kinabalu at Sabah or not. HAHA. It needs great stamina.


    #3: Top of the hill with many tourists. Woohoo. Actually Penang Hill got nothing one lo, what do you think?

    Finally reached the top of Penang Hill at 10 something where we started at 8 something. Felt very happy when we reached the top as I know I do not need to suffer any more. LOL. I must train more already.


    #4: Not good fried rice.

    Went to eat fried rice at the hawker stalls area for brunch and chit chat at there. Frankly, the fried rice sell by the Chinese seller was not that rice. I prefer the Malay stall at the end of the hawker stalls area. One plate of this egg fried rice without prawn cost RM4.50. WOW. Now only I know that you can’t order food from other stall at the table we sit because different stall manages different table.


    #5: Is me, playing with the phone I guess.


    #6: Yan Chien Chern.


    #7: Arron Lim.


    #8: Me (look like a kid), Merritt, Xiang Foong, Yong Fu, Chien Chern.


    #9: Chien Chern again, Alvin, me and Arron.


    #1o: The bushes which block the view of Penang city.


    #11: Clearer view of George Town, awesome!

    I feel Penang Hill is quite a relaxing place because when there’s wind blows up there, it feels very chilly and cool and at the same time can enjoy the beautiful view of Penang.


    #12: David Brown’s Sky Terrace. Expensive restaurant! Hmm.

    We bought the tram ticket at RM4 per student price person and then we went down of Penang Hill. So nice that there’s no long queue like the Hong Kong tram that I went recently and I feel the tram service in Penang is very world class one. Haha.


    #13: The gang.


    #14: Road.


    #15: Road in front of Chung Ling High School.


    #16: My high school!

    We wanted to take the Rapid Penang public bus back home but then we didn’t see any bus passes Penang Hill area, then we walked directly to the place where more Rapid Penang buses pass by and that’s Shang Wu Primary, pass Chung Ling High School and it’s like 3km away. Very power, because call the way we didn’t see any bus also, I wonder where all the buses gone when we were walking.


    #17: In Rapid Penang bus.


    #18: At the bus interchange station, Komtar.

    It’s been so long that I did not take the Rapid Penang bus too. Still the same, getting more people in the bus but not as much as in other big city. No upgrade or improvement I can see yet. I wonder when they will implement Touch N’ Go system and introduce double decker buses.  Hmm.

  • Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market – After eating the famous Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee at Perak Road (Jalan Perak Pasar) Market, I realised there’s still space in the stomach, not feeling very full, and so I ordered a plate of Char Koay Teow to share with my friends.

    It does looks pretty with a 3 shrimps in it, nicely fried with chilli sauce, and a few slices of Chinese sausage as well as beansprout. The experience with it was not the best, it’s not dry enough in my opinion as the “wok hei” 锅气, the heat / power of the frying wok was not strong enough.

    After all, it does fill up my stomach well, not a bad char koay teow, just a SO-SO typical char koay teow to me, I want something drier, hotter, a little bit more spicy, more beansprout and it will be perfect.

  • Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee

    Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee

    Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee – When I write “famous” on my title, it means it’s famous and many people knows about it. The Hokkien Prawn Mee at the Perak Road Wet Market is really famous as every morning, many people wait for take away as well as eat at there. The stall owners are always seen as busy taking order and preparing the delicious Penang food, the Hokkien Prawn Mee.

    Located in the wet market of Perak Road, which cannot be seen on main road, this Hokkien Mee stall is well-known in the area and it’s also known as Ah Keong Hokkien Mee. Besides selling Hokkien Mee, it also includes Lor Mee in the menu.

    I went there for breakfast with my Penang friends, ordered 5 bowls of beehoon and mee combination and then look for a place to sit. It’s not easy to find a open table as it’s always occupied, especially on weekends’ morning. Waited 15 minutes and the famous prawn noodle finally came.

    Presentation of the noodle does not look pretty, yet I spotted little shrimp in it and the soup does indeed look tempting. At only RM2.80 per bowl for a medium size (RM2.50 for small and RM3.20 for big), it’s a good portion of breakfast for me. Though, there’s still extra space for food.

    Prawn noodle is always about the soup. The soup makes it deliciously good in the mouth with an adequate amount of prawn taste, not too over, yet not too light. The additional chilli paste add an extra spicy sense into the soup which makes it perfect. Somehow, shrimps were too little to make it a perfect bowl of Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee.

    Overall, I will come back for it, if I have plenty of time to wait. Take away might be faster than eating there by the way. Try not to complain or re-ask about your order as this will make the owner frustrated and she will be talking this and that back.

    Good Morning My Penang Friends – It’d been a while that I didn’t meet up with them, the friends that I used to mix with before I go to college last year, they are the people that I have been together for the 3 months holiday after high school a year ago.

    Now, I am back for holiday and it’s time to meet up and talk and eat and crap!
