Road Trip 2017 - Malaysia
Join Us on Our Road Trip Through Malaysia!
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.
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.
