Makan Trip - Second Stop. Day One : PENANG

After breakfast it was around 12pm, we continue our journey up north. it was quite jammed on the way.


see how jam it was?


it was a gloomy day.



close to destination. still very jam.


after what seems like forever, we finally saw the sign!!

yay!! by the time we reached the hotel, it was already 3.30pm.



we booked 2 rooms at Holiday Inn.


RM250++ a night. i think it's quite worth it. the hotel is very clean and just nice for the four of us in a room.

there was no sun and it was drizzling all day long so we (Me, Smelly, Deric and Christine) decided to stay in while the rest went out to hunt for food.

we went to a restaurant called End Of The World, which was highly recommended by Smelly's colleague, for early dinner.

it's not a very fancy restaurant. but only 5 minutes drive up from where we stayed.


fried calamari. surprisingly good. crispy and the batter is not too thick.


we actually ordered belacan chicken but dunno why this nam yu chicken came. we didn't bother so we ate it. tastes just like any other nam yu chicken.


Seong Tong La La. another dish that came wrongly. we ordered Japanese escargot and this la la came. wtf! lol! i think there must be some communication breakdown cos he keep speaking in Hokkien and we keep replying in Cantonese/English. and Deric is either not a great translator or a lousy in ordering food. hmphh. but we ate it anyway cos it's very good!


typical vege. how good can vege taste? they all taste the same for me.


Seafood tom yum with one prawn each and one squid each. and few fish balls. wtf! but taste okay.


baked crabs. which reminds us of Gary. cos we used to barbeque live crabs at his place. ahh..

this restaurant's specialty is actually lobster, which we didn't order cos it costs about RM 200 a kilo!! we saw many other patrons ordered those lobsters anyway. looks quite delicious!  our total bill came up to about RM 213.

after dinner, we went back to our rooms and rest for a bit. planned to go Gurney Drive for supper but it was still drizzling so we stayed in the whole night instead. the next day will be beach day!!!
