The Hunt For Penang Asam Laksa

We arrived Penang around 4pm, and by the time we check into the hotel it was almost 5pm. We freshen up and decided to just head over to 'Gurney Drive' for dinner since it was just 5 minutes drive away from our hotel and we were too tired to hunt for food elsewhere. Yes this is the one/two tourist favourite spot I mentioned in my earlier post.

We parked at Gurney complex because it was raining at that time. We walked around Gurney for a while while waiting for the rain to stop. It was still drizzling and Mr Siew Yeh So wanted to dine in one of Gurney restaurants instead, and I was about to strangle him because we had all of that in KL! Then just to cover line, he said 'Just Kidding,.....say only cannot meh?' pffft! *Smack forehead*

So we walked over to Gurney Drive and manage to order around 3 dishes only. We were trying to eat fast because we're afraid it will pour again and we were a little too tired to enjoy the food, but anyway Gurney food is just okay, not fantastic, so we rather keep our tummy for tomorrow's adventure!
Oh'Chien-Fried Oyster with egg
 You can hardly see any Oyster....probably can only find one or two biji out of the whole plate of fried egg.

Next Asam Laksa!
 We had rojak too and after that we headed back to the hotel for our beauty sleep....Zzzzzzzzz....
Next morning, begins the duo adventure in PENANG

It's the time to hunt for MORE food........
and what are we hunting for next?????
 
Sugar Cane 
 Told bf about the Sugar Cane story, that hawker stalls owners place their sugar cane in the drain, and bf went 'ewwwwwwww....and we are having sugar cane now!' Hahahahha! But you can see from the picture that they place it on the table and not in the drain, so it's safe!

and we also had Asam Laksa
 
Yep, we went over to Air Hitam for their Asam Laksa located near the market. The Asam Laksa is not tasty anymore, very diluted and it was 80% vegetables! You can hardly eat any noodles! But it's nicer than the one I had in Gurney the night before. Asam Laksa is a must have whenever I go to Penang....if possible every meal=p
 Next.....the duo head over to Kek Lok Si Temple!

Stay tuned!

Sunday Post: Heading North

HOLIDAY!!!
Oh I miss it! I love it! Because I just love to Travel!
 
My traveling partner....Mr.So (when he was still fit)

And where are we heading to????

Here!
 Yep Yep Yep Da Bridge!!!!

Owhh...We took like 4 hours plus to reach the bridge!
SLOW... Because the car is heavy....hmmm.... Oh! We had an extra baggage in the car....

It was Rachel BUNNY!!!

Stay tune for more, because I got nice nice food to intro to all of you. Don't worry it's not the boring old food that most of the a,b,c and d go to when they head to Penang, well maybe just one or two.

Happy Sunday!
