Another Penang Trip

I bought the ticket to Penang on the 4th of November, at 11pm. It was a midnight trip. I thought I could get to Penang as early as 3am, but I was wrong. I came back from work around 10pm, bought McDonald's already wasted 15 minutes, by the time I picked up my baggage, I have only half an hour left. As I walk out from my apartment, I saw a taxi and I decided to go to bus station by taxi. Can you believe it, I was so unlucky, so bad luck that I poured the Cola on the seat of the cab, it wet my jeans and shirt… yuck!! I was panic, fortunately the taxi driver only said something like he wasn’t please or something. Sigh~


Arrived Penang at dawn, nearly 4am plus. I had my earliest ever breakfast at 5am. During the first day, I didn't do anything much, I wanted to go to Butterfly Farm but my brother didn't know how to go(how ridiculous??) Anyway, the second day I went to Khoo Kongsi. The Khoo Kongsi (邱公司) is a large Chinese clanhouse with elaborate and highly ornamented architecture, a mark of the dominant presence of the Chinese in Penang. The famous Khoo Kongsi is the grandest clan temple in the country. It is also one of the city's major historic attraction.



Got this brochure, the entrance fee is RM5, this is actually a post card

They have a net around temple, I think it's to prevent the birds from flying in?
The Tourist Information centre, so unsual right?

The second night, I went to the restaurant where brother worked there, it's called The Electic. It's a semi fine dining restaurant, I snap a picture so fast so that nobody will notice(that's why the photo is so artsy). I had the dinner set, cost around RM70++, an appetizer, soup of the day, 5 main course and a dessert. The 5 main course are(in order) chicken, fish, lamb, beef and pineapple. The best thing is, you can ask for more after you finish each cost, it's like eat all you can!!(How I love that!!) My favourite is the fish, and the sauce for the appetizer was amazing, not bad for the lamb too.


My brother ordered pizza, so huge, can't finish it of course so we take out. The vegetable is the starches for the main course, mashed potato was yummy~, cauliflower and saute potato. The 4 sauces over there is for the main course, one of it is mint sauce, sweet and spicy sauce and I forgot about the other 2.

This is 32 at the Mansion, it's the best restaurant in Penang. The owner also owned The Electic
Inside the restaurant, there's nobody there cause it's not operation hour.

Recently(not really, bout 2 weeks already), Fui Shan moved out to hostel and no!! It's not like what you think, we didn't quarrel, no fight, no break-up, nothing... it's simply because she wants to save money. Staying the hostel can save a lot especially from the electricity bills and the utilities, but... there's a lot of buts for me so I guess, forget it. I'm so close to be Jennifer Lopez now, haven't I told you the good news yet? I'm now 49kg~~!!!
Thank you, thank you~~!!! Have a nice day~
