Penang Day 5 – Part 2: Goodbye Penang

Posted on November 13, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Penang Day 5 – Part 2: Goodbye Penang

After Gurney Plaza, our friends brought us to some place, not sure where and I forgot to take photos of the place ;p It should have since I’m the only one not buying anything and just waiting for them.


Anyway, after buying our friend brought us here… The famous cendol stall in Penang, Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendol + Ice Kacang. We didn’t order anything as was too full from the previous brunch. However, they did order this “che chao jui”(directly translate from Hokkien to English is green grass water, I guess ;p) I’m not sure how it tasted coz I didn’t drink any but according to my friend, it is very good to lower the heat in your body. This cup is RM0.80 if not mistaken.


After that, we went into this coffee shop called Joo Hooi Cafe, it’s just next to the stall I mentioned above. We were told that the Penang Assam Laksa here is also very famous but again we didn’t manage to eat it, too FULL ;p


One the way back to our car and one the way to the airport.


Since didn’t have the chance to take photos of the street of Penang because we were always in town when it’s dark.

Finally we’re at the airport.

After checking, we took some photos of the aquarium there.


More fish. The yellow fish caught my attention, it’s so bright.


The departure hall.


Some planes there. It was raining so heavily and our flight was late but we reached Kuching on time.


On the flight. Can’t really see the sunset as it was raining.

Finally, it’s the end of my Penang trip post. Hope you enjoy them.

Penang Day 5 – Part 1: Seoul Garden @ Gurney Plaza

Posted on November 11, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Penang Day 5 – Part 1: Seoul Garden @ Gurney Plaza

Our friend told us to go to Gurney Plaza on the 5th day morning for breakfast or lunch which is also our last day in Penang. our flight was in the afternoon.

So we woke up in the morning, packed our stuffs and cleaned up the house. How can you not clean up when you are staying at people’s place for free and use their car for so many days right? After that, we still have time to rest for a while before heading out because there wont’ be many places opened the shopping malls in Penang before 11am.


Off we went to Gurney Plaza and looked for brunch. We came across Red Box and said why not we go to Red Box and sing until the time to go to airport *LOL* However we couldn’t because our friends were supposed to meet us there at around 1pm and bring us to buy some Penang’s specialties.


We walked around and ended up at Seoul Garden. It was a mutual agreement, we were attracted by the all you can eat buffet! Hehehe…


Here, we had our brunch. We asked for Kimchi soup but to our dissapointment, it’s sweet, not spicy at all.

However, they got lots of choices for you. We were so happy with it! The things they offered were of quite good quality. Even the free flow drink that cost us RM3.99 wasn’t diluted like what you got in Kuching where they add lots of ice. Here, they don’t do that, the drink is really original exactly like how you got from the tin with no ice.


The meat was well marinated, even the vegetables section offer things like green pepper too. LOVE IT!


The ready cooked food were also good and didn’t look “cheap”, the potato salad was tasty, the kimchi was sweet(dissapointed), the coleslow fresh, and the seafood were nicely marinated too.


So many choice and they were fresh, maybe because we were there in the morning ;p The dessert section was so colourful! There were so many ingredients there, cendol, jellies of different colours, gula Melaka, milk, lime, crushed peanuts, red beans, fruits, syrup etc.


I wonder why is the banana placed there along with the eggs and various type of dried ingredients?


They also got fries and how can you don’t have various type of “balls” for steamboat right? No food wasted is allowed of course.

YUMMY… YUMMY… YUM! Was fully stuffed! Stuffed to the max that it lasted me till dinner time.

We are going to almost the end of my Penang post. Finally… One last post tomorrow.

Penang Day 4 – Part 4: Penang Bridge, Queensbay Mall, T-Bowl, Ferry

Posted on November 10, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Penang Day 4 – Part 4: Penang Bridge, Queensbay Mall, T-Bowl, Ferry


Lots of places in one post ;p My Penang trip post will come to an end soon. It’s time to see the famous Penang Bridge. Our friend brought us to somewhere in Bayan Lepas where there’s a jetty that is specially built only to transport people to the resort which located on an island(in the photo).


Me and the bridge. I don’t look good in the picture ;p That’s the problem when you didn’t get enough sleep hahaha…


After that, we went to Queensbay Mall. WAH! I didn’t know there’s Forever 21 there! Hehehe… Actually I’m not a fan of Forever 21, just that I heard many people raving about it.


Some views of the mall. Many shops not opened yet.


This is where you can roller blade and also there’s playground for the children.

Next, we went to have our dinner at T.Bowl, a concept restaurant. It was so packed that we had to wait to be seated. Very special!

You will be sitting on the toilet bowl, dining on a sink or bathtub and eating from toilet bowls or bathtubs too hehehe…


Our drinks: Mocha Blended(or Cappucino, not sure and don’t remember the price too), Blue Curacao Bubble + Vanilla Ice Cream Mocktail(RM5.50), and Limon.Sourplum Mocktail(RM5.50).


This dish is Beef Chop Rice(RM12.90), this is served in a big bowl and this soup is called Tomyam Seafood Flaming Pot(RM12.90) served in toilet bowl.


You wanna eat poo poo?!?! There you go! Hehehe… It tasted very nice actually. This is their signature dish called Signature Giant Sausage(RM12.90). The English name wasn’t that yucky but the Chinese name was really yucky ;p It sounde like “poo in intestine”. Even the look does look like one.


Fish Fillet Baked Rice (RM13.90). It’s under the Toilet Bowl Cheese Baked Rice category. Then the bathtub is mushroom soup, it’s tasted very “chinesey”.


Signature Chicken Baked Rice in Twin Sauce(RM13.90).

Anyway, you can find out more at their website: http://www.t-bowl.com

After dinner, we walked around the mall and played some arcade games at the children arcade game section in Jusco departmental store.


Before we went to get the car from our friend’s house, our friend brought us to ride the ferry! ;p Hehehe… We drove over the Penang Bridge first then after that went to wait for the ferry ride to go back to the island. We waited at the ferry waiting point for almost 45 mintues if not mistaken.


On the ferry. The moon was so round and bright. For the first time, I see so many jellyfish in the sea.

Basically, that’s the end of my fourth day in Penang. I haven’t edit the photos for the fifth day ;p

Penang Day 4 – Part 3: War Museum

Posted on November 9, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Penang Day 4 – Part 3: War Museum


We went to War Museum after the aquarium. It’s up there on the mountain. This is a really great place to go. It’s another history refresher course to me ;p The entrance for an adult is RM15/person, foreigner is RM30/person. You must have your IC to proof that you are a Malaysian. Children is RM7.50 for Malaysian and foreigner will be RM15.

By the way, you can play paintball here also. You can even stay at the barrack for one night! SCARY!!


This is the first tunnel we went in. It’s so dark, pitch black, you must bring your own torchlight. The narrow tunnel wasn’t straight, there’s a bit of cornering here and there and you have to climb out. If you are afraid of height, don’t go into this tunnel. You have to climb quite high up.


Mind you, this is the real place where the war took place. The British was expecting the Japanese to come and attack via the sea but who knows, they came via land with bicycles. This place is meant to attack the Japanese at the sea.


You get to see many artifacts there and various stories.


The place was kinda spooky. Imagine how many people had been tortured and killed there. They also open this place at night, scary wei! It’s already opened for visitors in 1968.


The dreaded Japanese occupation flag and some artifacts.


The kitchen and the bedroom.


The toilet and one of their offices.



There are so many buildings there with various rooms for different purposes. I have no idea what are those things hanging there for.


Potrait of those that sacrifice for the country.


Another office.


The escape tunnel(with red light), looked very spooky -.-” and those books are real books!

There’s another tunnel here which was bigger and shorter with bats! Luckily no bats when we were in there. It’s very dark.

In fact, there’s a 100ft tunnel somewhere in the museum but you have to pay extra to go in and only open for group of at least 20 people.


These two places were the spookiest! See the “ghost”? The place with the ghost is where women and girls got raped and killed. It’s really SCARY! Imagine how many innocent female beings were killed that time?

There’re also many photos in this museum showing the suffering and some disturbing photos of the war victims. Good thing they weren’t very clear, they’re in black and white and quite faded so it’s not so bad.

War is bad! NO WAR!

I strongly recommend this place. It’s not only a historical place but it’s interactive. Sadly, this place isn’t funded by the government, it’s maintained by people with the passion of keeping all these things. This was what our friends told us.

Next, it will another food post.

Penang Day 4 – Part 2: Institut Penyelidikan Perikanan, Penang Aquarium

Posted on November 8, 2008October 11, 2013 By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Penang Day 4 – Part 2: Institut Penyelidikan Perikanan, Penang Aquarium

After eating, we went to Institut Penyelidikan Perikanan which is also known as Penang Aquarium in Batu Maung. We didn’t pay to go in, didn’t plan to go in also because no photo taking allowed ;p Summore, they were closing too.


We just walked around the outside and see whatever was out there. You could touch the turtle but I didn’t touch.


The baby turtle in the tub, my first time coming in close encounter with turtles and my it was my first time to see real starfish! ;p


I always thought I dare to hold the starfish with my bare hands but after seeing them… It groosed me out! HAHAHA! There were also salt water fish in the aquarium.


You think sea cucumber is delicious? NAH! See this! Dare to eat? They are incredibly UGLY! EW! GROSS! However… I didn’t lost my appetite and I still like sea cucumber soup! ;p


These are called hmm… Forgot what’s the name ;p Pelf should know well. Is it River Terrapin?


You see the big sign on top of the mountain, “SOUTHPAY”? Next up, we will go there.
