Penang: Day 4

Everyone slept til very late and by the time we packed and ready to go it was already pass ten in the morning.

We went to eat breakfast at Pasar Air Hitam (or Ayer Itam, whichever la) for Laksa!! (Assam Laksa in Klang)


In Penang, apparently there's this tradition. See that fried popiah over there? Dip it into laksa and eat it! Haha unique isn't it? But it sure taste nice though. We ordered another plate of popiah after that. We are fast learner huh?



Look how happy everyone is?



We went to Penang Hill/Bukit Bendera again we find that the gate is partially open. We were ecstatic until the counter lady told us that it is still under renovation and that the cable car only go up to half hill. Sien! The sun was so hot (first time we feel the Penang real weather; hot, in the four days we are there) we can barely open our eyes so we didn't even take much photos.





Last pit stop for this Penang trip: Ghee Hiang Biscuit Shop
It's one of the more popular shop that sell Penang's famous "Tao Sa Piah" and have the stamp of approval from "Ho Chak" It's famous for it's baby mascot.


Snoopy says it's very commercialized but he says all "tao sa piah" generally tasted the same so he usually bought from a shop name "Beng Heong" in New Lane because the price is good and taste good as well. But since Rae purchased not enough at Beng Heong, so we went to Ghee Heang for a change lor ;)


Haha cute ler???



our last group photo for the day.


As we were heading back Klang, there's this conversation in car;

Roy: i think hor we should eat dinner before going back Klang la.
Ray: ya sure. erm...what about we stop at Ipoh for dinner? Ipoh "Nga Choi Gai"?
Win: eh can can. i know how to go there don't worry.
Me: Eh sounds good ma. I long time din go eat d ler.... come come we should!
Bro: Okla i anything wan!


So the next thing we know, we are heading to Ipoh d..

My favorite shop, Ong Kee. I dubbed it "the white shop" because i constantly forget the shop name.





look at the queues...scary huh? it's only slightly pass 6pm ler...so many people waiting for seats d...





Look at the uncle, his hand didn't stop chopping the chickens ler....so busy...business so good.


I don't go to the other shop opposite Ong Kee because that is the more commercialized shop and i find the chickens there more raw and i can see the red red blood at the bones there...eeuwww gross!! I don't find it nice anyway...Commercialize not necessarily means better ok? i dubbed that shop "the yellow shop" because the shop name plate is yellow haha....



haha normally in Klang hor, the chicken rice stalls' chickens are hook and hang at their stall. But at Ong Kee, business are so very the good that they do not have time to hang it. Instead, they put it into a pail on the floor. And those chickens are gone in a couple of minutes. Fast ler?




we ordered 1/2 chicken, tauge, 4 hor fun, 2 chicken rices for 5 people




look at our happy face you'll know how delicious the food is...yummy~~




all the food is gone within 30minutes. And we are all smiling, satisfied.




We went into a shop that sells many snacks and tidbits. It is like a heaven for kids. It sells everything that a kid would like and it brings back poignant memories of our childhood when we see snacks and junks that we used to consumed in large amount when we were a kid.


Arrrrr......the good ol' days when we don't have to cope with stress and assignments....



look what we found?


1) "white milk Rocky" ler....all this while i thought Rocky only come in Dark Chocolate and Strawberry flavour...

2) 2-coloured Choki-choki! I thought Choki-choki only come in Dark Chocolate lor (although i'm not a big fan of Choki-choki from young til now) but this Choki-choki come in half white chocolate and half dark chocolate. Interesting eh?



And that's all for this trip to Penang. Would love to visit Penang again because there's still many places to be see and even more foods to be eaten yet.




P/S: Haha if you need any direction to any of the places mention, feel free to ask me, i can asked Snoopy for you ;) of course, you can always ask him yourself la, there's no stopping you don't worry ^.^v
