Backdated post.
So when Mr. Hon was back in KL, apart from keeping everyone on their toes with his demands (I want this cheque sent, I want this account closed, i want this car sold…endless), he also made sure he don’t rot in KL :P. He wants to travel out of town LOL.
Hence, we arranged a trip North, to Penang over the weekends. I think basically he misses the unhealthy yummy food we have. Well, I have to go, since I’m the driver ;). The kids of course, our maid and MIL as well. All pack into the MPV.
We left KL very early, stop over at Bidor for the famous Herbal Duck Noodles. Simply yummy!! I think the last time I had that was like 20 yrs ago with my Dad :|. Really brings back a lot of memory. We arrived Penang rather late as there was an accident on Penang Bridge. Checked in to Northam 29th Floor. Love the view from our room. And the kids can’t wait for their dip in the jacuzzi. We didn’t do much on 1st day, just laze around in hotel. Then evening, my brother whom is working in Penang, came over with Joni (his gf) and we went dinner at somewhere…can’t remember LOL.
We slept early the 1st night on the super king size bed…at least I had space to roll about since the bed was huge. Daddy suggest that we should get 1 for our house LOL…
The next day, we woke up early, everyone yawning and we went to have our breakfast @ Bangkok Lane (famous mee goreng). To tell you the truth, me being an idiot when it comes to food, everything is yummy haha…..So don’t ask me about the verdict and what’s the different within Mee Goreng Bangkok Lane & Mee Goreng at other place.
Then we drop MIL off at relative’s place and head over to Penang Hill for a ride up the Hill. The tram ride was rather slow…..and boy it was pretty stuffy. The weather was so so only and quite hazy. Couldn’t get a clear view of the whole Penang Island. Nevertheless, the wind was pretty strong and it was much better than in the tram itself.
We spent sometime walking part of the Penang Hill before we give up cause everyone was so hungry by then. So we went down and had lunch @ New Swatao Lane (correct or not bro?). Then we went back hotel and nap…no the kids didn’t nap, they nap in the car, I nap in hotel while my bro and gf entertain them hahaha…
Late evening, we brought the kids to beach @ Tanjung Bungah. Faythe of course enjoys herself most. So busy scooping and pouring sand. Vyktore took some time to warm up. At first he was screaming when we put him on the sand. But after a while, he started loving it and play by himself. Busy catching & stepping the waves LOL.
We went back for dinner ermm…can’t remember where again, but we ate some belacan fried chicken (nice), lin chee kang and somemore don’t know what food. Makan sajalah, forgot take pics also…
Next day was time to leave Penang. We check out at 12pm and left Penang after having lunch. Twas the short trip to Penang. Actually it’s all makan, what else eh :P.
Photos of the trip can be seen HERE. All captured with the new lense. I find that some of the shots are not focus. Still trying to get used to the heavy lense and how it differs compared to my other 2 lenses. And silly me, I forgot to take out the CPL filter, hence the photos are darker especially when it’s indoor :|.
Reading this post makes me want to bring the kids to Penang too. I’m sure they will love the beach. Bidor got herbal duck meh? Next time, must try when I go bk to Ipoh.
Sounds fun. The kids always love to play on the sand altho they hate it at first because the sand feels strange and yucky on their feet at first. “)
I love the food in Penang!! Hubby and I used to drive all the way there to makan then drive down the same day!!!LOL
Vkytore looks very hansem in his tiny trunks 🙂

Salute you… seems like the trip is well-planned by you and Mr.Hon just waited to be served horr…?? One comes to Penang sure will go for food-hunting, what else??

Not much new to me, food still taste the same, the place look much better & of course the food more pricey then before.
Sound likes a short and nice break. I am also thinking of going to Penang.
An easy tag for you, http://malaika-xiaoyu.blogspot.com/2008/03/tag-50-questions-tag.html
why you’re the driver? Mr. Hon can just be pilot but can’t be driver..LOL
You really travel a lot!!! I am so envy!
Talking about food, just like you, everything seems yummy to me too. One big contrast is you still able to keep you body slim while enjoying the foold. I will be growing and growing if I don’t control myself. Jealous leh!
Ahhh I need such holiday now… !

You just whoosh here and whoosh back w/o telling me. Sigh!
