Road Trip 2017 - Malaysia

Join Us on Our Road Trip Through Malaysia!

(Penang - Port Dickson - Malacca - Johor Bahru)

Day 1 (13th Oct) - Arrival in Penang

We took the early flight out (YES really early, had to check in at 6AM) via SQ to Penang.  Despite some ground vehicle trouble, we made it on the dot to the lovely island of Penang!

Our personal bodyguard aka Maniscooking.com was at the airport to greet us, thereafter we hopped into our rental car (Hawk generously gave us an upgrade, but I think they just ran out of the model we orginally booked).

This took us to an early lunch at Hai Beng Coffee Shop (3, Jalan Jones, George Town, 10250 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia).

We had the local fare of lor mee, char kway teow and wantan mee. And some yummy assam sting ray, although we could have passed on the sotong and chicken.

  

Home Sweet Home for a Couple of Days!

We managed to navigate our way to a lovely place we'll be calling home for a few days at StaySongSong. It’s easy to find by GPS.  

We were able to park our rented car within the compound (it’s a Nissan Almera).  You can fit in 2 sedans with the proper driving skills! J

Exploring the house… The house has 3 individual rooms (two with queen-sized beds, one with two single beds) and two separate bathrooms.  The bedrooms have air-conditioning. The kitchen is fully-functional for those of you who want to cook here!

Quick trip to Plaza Gurney to get some groceries.  The place is HUGE!

Can give Gong Cha a run for their money...

Dinner at Red Garden Food Paradise

This was the most costly of all our meals... and in a little while you'll know why...

Red Garden Food Paradise is located at 14-20, Leith St, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang, Malaysia.
