We had a lovely evening cocktail at the Executive Lounge of G Hotel Kelawai earlier. Yet we still felt peckish an hour later, lol. Not a big problem anyway as there were plenty of food options in the area. We headed out and made our way towards Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, which was just a […]

Our car ride from Bao Sheng Durian Farm to G Hotel Kelawai took about an hour so we arrived at the hotel just before 12 noon. The moment our car came to a stop at the entrance, the bell-boy on duty immediately took our suitcase out from the car boot. We approached the front desk […]

The first time I heard about Bao Sheng Durian Farm was when I watched a travel program on TV. Hence during our trip to Penang, I thought I would include a 2D1N durian farm stay in our itinerary. Just so we could experience life in the countryside. And at the same time, we could know […]

Had some free time to spare after having breakfast at Keng Lan Huat Wantan Mee, so we just took a random walk around George Town. At the same time, we wanted to check out some street art that we didn’t get to see earlier. And somehow we ended up at the lively Chowrasta Market. The […]

Started our Day 5 in Penang early as we only had this morning left in George Town before we checked out of our hotel. Going for a durian farm stay at Balik Pulau later in the day. So excited! Woohoo! Decided to have a quick breakfast at this wantan mee place that was located very […]

On our 4th day in Penang, we decided to eat nasi kandar again for dinner. Simply hooked onto nasi kandar. Not sure why though, haha. Since there is no better place to eat nasi kandar than Penang, of course we have to eat to our heart’s content! This time round, we headed to one of […]

After our little kueh kueh tea break at Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay, we visited a Penangite Chinese friend to check out her very pretty ‘Secret Garden’. Checking out a local resident’s secret garden She didn’t just have green fingers but I thought she was really creative to use/recycle everyday items such as flip-flops, boots, […]

Now I know why my friend, B always eats Magnum ice cream whenever he’s in Malaysia. It only cost about S$1.50 per stick! So cheap compared to Singapore! We grabbed one stick each when we popped into 7-Eleven for air con. The earlier breakfast at Transfer Road Roti Canai did not turn out as good […]

Kicked off our Day 4 in Penang with a hearty breakfast at the famous Transfer Road Roti Canai, which has been in business for many decades. Locals and tourists alike would flock to this breakfast spot super early in the morning just to dig into its roti canai banjir, i.e. flooded roti prata. Transfer Road […]

We came by New Lane Hawker Centre at Lorong Baru around 9pm for supper. It was super busy and crowded during this time. Had to search and wait for quite some time before we could get an available table. New Lane Hawker Centre – Operating Hours New Lane Hawker Centre operates from 4pm to 10pm […]

After having nasi kandar at Hameediyah Restaurant, we went jalan jalan in the vicinity. Walked to Lebuh Carnarvon where we spotted street hawkers setting up pushcarts, tables and chairs on both sides of the road. This was Chulia Street Night Market, another popular food street in George Town. These street hawkers used to do business […]

After our little adventure at Wonderfood Museum, we headed towards Campbell Street to try out Malaysia’s oldest nasi kandar place, Hameediyah Restaurant. Nasi kandar, which originated from Penang, is basically the Tamil-Muslim version of ‘mixed rice’ or ‘curry rice’. That is, white rice served with various curries and side dishes. In one of my previous […]

One of the most fun and most meaningful things I had done during this trip was to explore the massive collection of Penang Street Art. Even though I managed to see almost a hundred of them, there were still lots that I had missed out. That just gives me another reason to return to Penang […]

Wonderfood Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum that showcases Malaysia’s local cuisine. For those who are unfamiliar with Malaysian food culture, this is definitely a must-see attraction where you can discover over 100 popular street foods and local dishes. Even if you are somewhat familiar with Malaysian food, you will still be amazed by the life-sized […]

One of the top things to do when in Penang is to hunt for street art. And Armenian Street is a good spot to begin your hunt as many murals are located along and around this street such as the famous “Kids on bicycle” mural by Ernest Zacharevic. While we were walking along Armenian Street, […]
