  • Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai

    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai



    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai – Yeah, you heard it right, Transfer Road in George Town has a nice Roti Canai stall that operates in the morning. It’s not new, but it’s quite new to me because it’s my first time went there recently with an Indonesian friend – Arvin. I was a tour guide for Arvin for 3 days last week and I brought him around to eat and check out. =D


    Let’s talk back about this Roti Canai, what’s so special is actually the gravy, the curry. You know Roti Canai is just a piece of Indian flatbread that eat with curry sauce normally called dalcha. But at this Transfer Road Roti Canai, you can order a choice of chicken curry, beef curry and mutton curry. Then you can choose it to be separated which is the roti and curry separated or choose it BANJIR (flood) which is the curry flooded on the bread.



    We ordered one chicken curry and one beef curry. Total got bomb, of RM10 include drinks. Perhaps it’s expensive for the curry as there’s big piece of chicken and beef. The curry were pretty spicy, yet it’s spicy level were to suit to over liking. Overall, it’s a nice roti canai place and I prefer the beef curry more. =D One more thing, you can add an extra sunny egg on top of your roti canai too upon special request.

  • Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve – The next time, if you ever wanted to go Lolipot Shabu-shabu on Christmas Eve or any other occasion, please, please make a reservation first! I’ll include the telephone number at the end of the post. Hahahaahaha.

    Funny and interesting and cute name – Lolipot. =D
    Arron Lim, the India boy, because he is studying in India.
    Me and Alvin.

    Alvin suggested Lolipot for Christmas Eve’s dinner and we were there at 8.30pm and it’s really full, full of people. The staff told us that we don’t need to wait anymore even though there’s one unseated table beca.use it’s reserved. We insisted to wait, for the next half hour but no luck. Until we decided to walk away, to somewhere else, the staff ran out and inform us that one customer cancelled their reservation. Is us lucky or too persevere?

    Interiors of the restaurant.
    Milksoup.

    It’s my first time to Lolipot, a special name and it’s local style of shabu-shabu as each person gets their own pot and there’s 4 choices of soup – Clear 清汤，Tomyam, Kim Chi & Milk. Sounds interesting right? But I am more a heavy taster, so tomyum it was! The experience gets better if we get to sit near the moving belt as  we can take anything we want from the belt like sushi for the steamboat. Either way, we order from a piece of paper and wait for it to be served. Not bad, something special, and it’s All-You-Can-Eat @ RM38++/person and pretty worth it and hygienic because you eat with your own pot.

    Arron, me, Simon and Alvin.

    Interesting place for steamboat/shabu-shabu and that’s my Christmas Eve dinner 3 guys! Yeah and no girls.

    Extra member for Christmas Eve – Raykee Gor eating McChicken Nugget and Simon.

    Chaiwei, Me, Yiphing, Raykee, Simon and Arron.

    Actually, we don’t really have plan for Christmas, nor the feel for it, we spent like 15 minutes standing by the roadside thinking where to go, spent 15 minutes in the car counting down for Christmas and see other people celebrated it. Ended eating McChicken Nuggets at McDonald’s at 1am with extra 3 friends. Haha.

    Not a bad night out, Christmas only mah… Merry Christmas! =)

  • Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups

    Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups

    Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups – Penang’s road came into a massive war zone around Gurney Drive area, Air Itam and some other tourists area of Penang! So many other state’s vehicles have flocked into this little island on the weekend causing congestion here and there. After lunch, to prevent myself stuck in the congestion on the way home, I brought mom to Twelve Cups for a little after meal desserts and a cup of coffee to chill a while before getting ourselves into the traffic jam.
    Coffee Chocolate. Not my favourite afterall, found that Hokkaido Milk was better. =D
    A good cup of Caffe Latte.

    Lovely time with mille crepe and coffee at the cafe, but then it’s not lovely when being in the jam. Argh, seriously, something need to be done to help reduce the traffic congestion on this little island, but how?

  • Penang: Yesterday Rainy Evening

    Penang: Yesterday Rainy Evening

    Penang: Yesterday Rainy Evening – It’s holiday for me, my ohm, my passion for photography, blogging and going here and there are back! During my college semester time, I’ve been always busying with assignment, that I do not hate too, because I love designing, but during my free time, I like to take up my camera and shoot around and post blog, just like the high school time of me, posting a lot of blog post, taking random photos.

    So yesterday, randomly took some shots from my house balcony. =D

    Penang Port and semi-hidden Bukit Mertajam.

    <3 I love building build near to each other to create a dense feeling. I am a city person. Haha.
    Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
    Lovely condo – Gurney Paragon.

    By the way, I don’t really feel Christmas in Penang, how about you?

  • END OF WORLD IN PENANG?!

    END OF WORLD IN PENANG?!

    END OF WORLD IN PENANG?! – Cheh! The people who were so afraid of the doomsday are stupid, it’s 22/12/2012, where’s the doomsday? Where?! Tell me lah. Anyway, there’s a nice sign of doomsday yesterday in Penang, a huge rain storm happened in the evening, with torrential downpour and roaring thunder, as well as strong gust of wind, but it only lasted for 1 hour. =D So, hello to no doomsday.

    No photoshop, taken from my balcony. Half rain, half no rain.

    I AM HOME – PENANG
    Have been a tour guide for the past 3 days in Penang, it was fun and now I can sit down to have a little lovely time of on my own, breathing the fresh Penang air and hearing the voice of Penang, in my little warm home.
  • Penang, I Am Coming Home

    Penang, I Am Coming Home

    Lovely Gurney Drive view from Straits Quay. Beautiful, isn’t it?

    Penang, I Am Coming Home – The last time we (me & Penang) met was more than a month ago, I told myself I can leave home for a long time, yes I can, but my heart does think of home, some times, think of my parents more, I can’t imagine what would it be if I am studying somewhere not in Malaysia where I don’t get to go home so often.

    It’s not the aroma of food anymore that I am craving for Penang, it’s the feeling towards Penang; it’s not the fresher air there, but it’s the visual; it’s not the language, but it’s the people, family and friends.

    So yeah, even though I have made up my mind that I won’t be residing in Penang permanently for the next 5-10 years, it’s still my home, I miss it, and I will be going home, next week, for the time being at least, two weeks! =D

  • Eat, Sleep, Awesome Seaview in Penang

    Eat, Sleep, Awesome Seaview in Penang

    Awesome sea view from the balcony! Lovely Gurney Drive, taken from my Galaxy S2 by the way, nice right?

    Eat, Sleep, Awesome Seaview in Penang – Eat, sleep and checking out the sea views were some of my activities in the past 24 hours! Sleep, I don’t really get much sleep yet because I want to squeeze every bit of time to eat and enjoy the relaxing city of Penang – my home!

    Best Lok-lok in Penang, you can eat with a variety of sauce! e.g. tomyam, satay, ginger, spicy chilli and more. So much better than Satay Celup in Malacca.
    Rainy day here. That’s why Lok-lok was so good.
    Yums!
    Any one Char Koay Teow here in Penang is so much better than KL’s. Lot’s of lard, duck egg and big big cockles! The one at Pulau Tikus Market is one of my favourite. Surprisingly the CKT guy didn’t lansi and say ‘need to wait 30 minutes’/
    Delicious little dishes for Teochew porridge at the famous Taibuan Porridge @ Muntri St.
    Eat is another thing that I have been doing a lot. Hokkien Prawn Mee, Char Koay Teo, Lok-lok, Teochew Porridge have been serving me well. There’s more to go in the next 24 hours! Can’t wait for the food.
    Panorama view from The Light Linear! Went to a site visit today. =D Looking forward for the development here to complete. It will become a beautiful The Light Waterfront
    Penang super best landmark – Penang Bridge!
    George Town at far.
    Friday was pretty much a busy day for me as it’s a ‘working’ day back in Penang. Saturday will a busy leisure day too! Meeting up friends, pak thor with girlfriend, spend time with family and eat. Then, I’ll be heading back to the capital. Time flies ohhhhhhhhh.

    Good night!

  • Cycling In George Town: Bicycle & Motorbike Mural, Wan Tan Mee, Back To Armenian Street

    Cycling In George Town: Bicycle & Motorbike Mural, Wan Tan Mee, Back To Armenian Street

     
    Cycling In George Town: Bicycle & Motorbike Mural, Wan Tan Mee, Back To Armenian Street – This is the last post for my Cycling In George Town post series. Last post, we stopped off at Jelutong’s Nautilus Bay, now we head back to George Town for a photo-session with the bicycle & motorbike mural boy, dinner and home!

    One good economy fried bee hoon on Lebuh Tye Seen, or local calls it the Fourth Road 四条路
    Right in front of Sum Min Primary School.
    Our last route was from Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, cut back into Beach Street and to Armenian Street for thesuper famous bicycle 3D mural by Ernest Zacharevic. We have our bicycle, photographing with the mural is a must! This was fun!
    Me, Merritt, Charles and Chien Chern.
    Funny Charles and Merritt.
    Cool cube with artwork on top.

    Telephone booth turned into street art piece.

    Old school Swatow Lodging House on Armenian Street.
    After this, the next one of course is the 3D mural of boy on motorbike, chased by a dinosaur on Lebuh Ah Quee, it’s just the next street beside the bicycle mural. It was closing sunset and we had our last refreshing break from the fruit juice stall nearby. Freshly squeeze orange juice is just for RM1!
    The RM1 fruit juice stall on Lebuh Ah Quee!
    Me and my ride.
    Charles with the motorbike boy.

    Last stop before returning the bicycle back to the shop was the famous Wan Tan Mee on Chulia Street! It’s our dinner and meal to recharge our drained energy. We were exhausted. A bowl of Wan Tan Mee (RM3.50) and another glass of fresh apple juice (RM1.50) did nice on regenerating the lost energy of the day.

    Awesome twilight with Penang famous hawker food.
    The Wan Tan Mee.
     Let’s call it an awesome, tiring, fun, heritage, hot, humid, exploration day for me and my friend. One last photograph session with another ‘boy standing on chair’ mural by Ernest right opposite of Khoo Kongsi before heading home. =)

    Interesting heart shape made from straws by unknown artist.
    Come cycle in Penang, it’s fun!
  • Cycling In George Town: Esplanade Padang, Chew Jetty, Jelutong Nautilus Bay

    Cycling In George Town: Esplanade Padang, Chew Jetty, Jelutong Nautilus Bay

    Cycling In George Town: Esplanade Padang, Chew Jetty, Jelutong Nautilus Bay – Our route were unplanned, we just rode to wherever we could think of at that time. We were on the way to Esplanade Padang on the previous post to check out the spicy yet delicious Mee Sotong at the Padang Kota Food Court. Not much stalls opened due to Ramadhan month but it was just nice that both the Mee Sotong and drinks stall were open.

    Alright, one plate of Mee Sotong and share among us! Not really hungry, just to try out the taste as introduced by Merritt the organizer. Tasted spicy! But then it’s good with lots of crunchy fried anchovies ikan bilis.

    The field, Padang Kota Lama / Esplanade.
    Swettemham Pier for cruise docking.
    Tanjung City Marina, docking for yatch. Too bad, no more yatch as most yatch now docks at Straits Quay.
    Name check: Merritt, Charles, Yan Chien Chern, Shi Jie,
    After a little bit of rest, started our ride again, out of Esplanade and to the famous Chew Jetty. Stopped by at some random carpark by the sea and at Tanjung City Marina before reaching Chew Jetty. The weather was windy scorching hot! Windy from the ride, yet scorching hot upon stopping.
    Charles, Merritt and Chien Chern!

    Awesome foreign expats park their little yatch in the middle of the sea. They came to George Town for shopping.
    Little yatch.
    Lim Chong Eu Expressway. Speed limit: 80km/h.

    Where to, now? Don’t really have an idea, and randomly someone suggested Jelutong’s Nautilus Bay. That’s a bit of craziness as it’s out of George Town, a short section of highway ride on the motorcycle lane. Didn’t bother much and we went there. It was exciting yet dangerous to ride on the same lane with the fast motorcycle as we couldn’t really follow the speed of the motorcycle. What it was just strong gush of wind and sound every moment the motorcycle passed by you. About 10 minutes on the little Lim Chong Eu Expressway and we arrived at the Nautilus Bay, Sungai Pinang, Jelutong.

    Penang’s landmark – Penang Bridge.

    Ugly side of Sungai Pinang, what an eye sore look of this place.
    Nice network of jogging path and landscape.
    Landmark of Nautilus Bay, the 4 tiang (columns).
    Hidden Taoist temple of don’t know what.

    A new area in Penang, with sea front residential and some shoplots. Some calls it the ‘new Gurney Drive’ Obviously, it has a cleaner sea than Gurney Drive and you can get a good view of Penang Bridge and Butterworth,  Explored a bit of this area, found that they have a good jogging path, we cycled along it and found a hidden temple deep on the other side of the area. Enjoy a bit of the sea breeze and we headed back to George Town, for some photograph with the bicycle mural, motorbike mural and dinner. =) Check out next post.
