3D2N On An Island

On an island famous for its food. Where we went to because Mommy at the last minute (almost last minute) decided to run on its bridge and dragged the family along... to Penang. Making Daddy drove for 5 hours to get there. Pity the Daddy! hahaha

Nothing funky was eaten. Didn't go all crazy eating too. It was pretty much a relaxing 3D2N trip without too much excursion or gastronomic adventure. Blame the weather! It was too darn hot to walk around. @.@

We arrived on Saturday and had this for lunch, at Queensbay Mall.
Nothing to shout about. Small portions but it's Japanese and we chose it because Mommy didn't want to have an upset tummy running on Penang Bridge at 3am the next morning. No curry. Nothing spicy. Definitely nothing gassy either.
 Char koay teow for dinner
Got a little bit peckish that night, so had a packet of fried beehun too. Beehun for Daddy too and Raimie had a packet of Nasi Lemak for his supper. Mommy went to sleep at 9.00pm, woke up at 10.00pm, continued her sleep until 12.45am. Woke up, got ready for her run and Daddy drove her over to race site at 1.30am. Crazy. Hahaha

On the second day, it was Nasi Kandar time!
Om nom nom... went to Nasi Kandar Line Clear a bit early to avoid the lunch crowd. Saw plenty of runners/marathoners wearing their finisher t-shirt enjoying their lunch there.

Walked around for a bit but Son got grumpy for having to deal with the heat (it was a super hot, sunny day) so to placate him, we had gelato. Sitting outside, enjoying the breeze and vehicles fume.

We went to Batu Ferringhi in the evening,

and had laksa for dinner. Son insisted on eating them.

and on the last day, 
 
Squid and fish head feast! OMG! They are so delicious.

I think we bumped into Massy after having this lunch and while walking towards Pasar Chow Rasta to buy our jeruk. Sorry didn't notice you until you already passed us, Massy! Actually, the funny thing is - I looked at your friend and thought he looked familiar! Alamak! This auntie looked at the guy but didn't notice the girl! *facepalm*

Next visit to Penang - hopefully in 2013. Running on a new bridge, hopefully. ^^

    No prices stated? It is getting a bit too expensive to eat in Penang these days - too touristy, not so nice anymore. You would get cheaper and better in the smaller towns like Sg Petani, Bukit Mertajam...

      Same price as in KL lah...

      But for the nasi kandar, it was way nicer to eat it in Penang still.

    No chocolate? o_0

    PS: I had to laugh at myself. I looked at the photos before I read your story. "Oh, that looks very Japanese," I thought as I observed the second and third photo. Duh, Ru, it is! :D

      Yeah well... why go to Penang, just to eat Japanese food eh? For that amount of travelling time, we can actually (almost) travel to Japan! ;p

      Chocolates? Of course there's chocolate consumption. No photo as they were gone in record time. LOL

    The only hawker food we had was at Gurney on Friday night. Three of my mrsm buddies also came for JJCM :P so makan sodap la. Saturday I didn't follow them to find makan-makan sebab takmo penatkan diri sangat haha. Dan takut perut upset (because when I eat, I eat!). So I missed some must-haves there..but that's okay. For now. Hehe

    Wah! Penang delicious food!!

    It's funny that when I visit the island, I never tried out their local specialty... Hubby is no fan of hot and stuffy place. He prefers air-cond and hence we always ended up in franchise restaurants, boohoo!
