Today is the 5th days after coming back from Penang. Yes, last week, I went to Penang for travel with my 4 friends. Well, it was a nice trip. We drove ourselves to go to Penang. We started our journey in the early morning. The 1st destination was Slim River. We went there to fetch one of our members and also visited her hometown. Slim River is a small town but I like the place because less of noise, means when you stay there, you’ll feel less pressure, unlike in Kuala Lumpur.
We reached Bukit Mertajam at around 1.00pm. After having our lunch, we continued our journey to Penang Island. On the Penang Bridge, the nice scenery almost made us crazy. But unfortunately, the construction was going on, people are not allowed to stop on the bridge. After getting a hotel room near Batu Feringgi, we took a rest first before going out, so tired, due to long journey from KL, about 5 hours.
The Penang trip can be said as “foods tasting trip”. During our trip, we spent a lot of time to taste all the delicious foods at there. Macalister Road and Gurney Drive are the most popular “nice foods streets” in Penang Island. We had tried a lot of delicious foods at there, got Penang Char Kueh Tiao, Penang Laksa, Penang Rojak, Loh Bak, Fried Prawn Mee, famous Bak Kut Teh, Fried Oyster, Cendol with purut (in Bukit Mertajam), Ikan Bakar Portugis, Fried Chicken with Balacan, Big Tang Yuan, Loh Mee and others. The most unforgettable food for us was Fire Wood Pizza (in Macalister Road). I can say, Fire Wood Pizza is 10 times nicer than Pizza Hut and Domino Pizza. It is baked by fire wood, very special and REALLY VERY NICE!
Of course, we had also visited some interest places like Kek Lok Si Temple, Thai Temple (Sleeping Buddha), Myanmar Temple, Botanical Garden. Unfortunately, we can’t visit Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera) because the train was spoilt. Our hotel is on the beachside, nice when you listening the sound of the waves. Our life in Penang was so relax, without pressure, without stress. I like the life, play after waking up, eat after playing, sleep after playing and eating. So nice…
The Penang trip was ended after 3 days and 2 nights.
During the trip, I realised something. 1st, most of the residents in Penang are rich. 2nd, Penang is a nice place to stay for long time, like Langkawi. If you stay at there, you can eat delicious foods everyday. But I like Langkawi more, because…duty free mah~! 3rd, I saw business opportunity in Penang. For those who want to start up a business can consider start up at there.
Anyway, the trip was not bad. Really really not bad…
