Have a Rockin Night!
Before I get there....
Just came back from a 3 day trip to Penang with the family.
I should update before I get lazy.
The road that my mom used to stay in..
Right beside .. Lorong Seratus Tahun.
Yes, where you get your famous curry mee..
It all originated from there.
And the commercialized one in taipan, one of the sons..
So, my mom grew up to this famous curry mee, And eventually so did I.
Anyway, I'll follow the order.
Day 1/Night1, 20/6/2010 (Sunday)
Arrived Penang Approx Before 6..
Had dinner with my uncle(Mom's bro) and family.
Seafood Restaurant somewhere.
It's been a long time since I ate..
Crabs, Scallops, fish, Deer, etc..
Didn't take any pictures as I was too busy eating.
Went back to their house to a little chit chat.
The parents..
The whole bunch.
Yes, I know I look like a stunted small kid.
The offsprings.. using Polaroid cam
The display outside Northam Beach Restaunrant, just opposite our hotel.
By now you should know that I DID NOT stay in Hard Rock Hotel.
Stayed in Northam instead.
Day 2, 21/6/2010(Monday)
See, when we reached day one, it was extremely hot, and you know penang la. lagi panas.
So, I prayed, God , please give us cooling weather, I don't want sun la.
So, He gave us this instead..
When was the last time you saw mists in Penang?
*note, this is not genting or camerons.
It rained the whole day. LOL.
I went with mom to Lorong Seratus Tahun to taste the childhood food.
The log was still sleeping and Dad had to work, so it was just us two.
Mom didn't quite like the rainy weather but I was kinda fine with it.
We then went back to pick the now awaken sister from the hotel
and then drove to pulau tikus to buy the famous kueh before heading to
Gurney Plaza as " it was raining and we couldn't go anywhere"..
Evening came and we headed to Lorong Selamat to taste the authentic Penang Food.
To my dismay, they didn't have "Sar Hor Fun"
We Ended up with..
O'Chien.. I was satisfied with just tasting the flour and egg
RM 8
"Yau Yu Ong Choy" RM 8
Chee Cheong Fun
And the reason why i put up all the prices,
this basic plate of char kuey teow, which wasn't even fantastic,
Cost Rm 6.50!
* Don't eat it Lorong Selamat
Food tasting.
Mind you, We had all these for tea at around 3 something
and by then.. I STILL DIDN'T GET TO EAT SAR HOR FUN.
Dinner was in Super tanker when i finally got..
you don't find this anywhere else..
We also bought " Ban Cheng Kueh", not like the typical KL ones,
but these had different feelings.
Mom's Choice,
Peanut + Banana
Sis's Choice,
Chocolate+ Banana
Of course, my choice,
Peanut Butter+ Butter+ Peanut+ Egg+ Cheese+Banana.
Aren't you hungry already?
* pics quality not that good, but still.
We then went to visit some of our relatives.
No pictures were taken, forgot la.
Day 3-22/6/2010(Tuesday)
Went to visit Mom's godmother..
We then went to prangin Mall to look
for cameras but ended up cutting our hair.
Well, i cut la, they just wash.
Hence, the new lalafied Penang Anton.
Dinner with cousins again then we headed for Batu Feringgi,
more specifically Hard Rock Hotel.
We went to check out the extremely expensive hotel.
Turns out, it was quite a disappointment, they didnt really renovate the previous hotel.
Here are some pictures of the highlights there.
Note: the one is US was much nicer.
wall of tiles
Spent more than RM 200 in the Rock Shop
while they greet us Have a rockin night as we leave,
Hence the post title.
Day 4- 23/6/2010(Wednesday)
Spotted
Went to Lorong Seratus Tahun again as Andrea insisted she wanted to go.
What's so nice bout their curry mee? The CHILI
After food.
Order their " Geng Geng"
the simple humble alley
Mom's Old House
I remember Running down these streets
