Travel: Penang, Food Haven

Hello Assalamualaikum

Last week i went to Penang for a conference, which was actually only on saturday. But being the kind of person i am, u gotta stay on friday and sunday too. U just have to.So this time around, we kind of mindlessly went there, but one great thing we did was book a hotel at the heart of Georgetown (SUMMERTREE HOTEL). Because of that we were able to walk all around Georgetown to the major attractions as well as stumble upon a bunch of hidden gems. For someone who enjoys art, sightseeing and stuff like that, it would be such a joy to just randomly stumble across a beautiful secluded area and what not. To be honest, most of the time, we had no plan. The only plan we had involved eating. So, it was spontaneous yet filled with splendid surprise kind of trip.

Friday, 3rd November 2017

Got to penang by flight, obviously air asia, for th price of like RM60 probably. Arrived around 2.30 pm and directly checked into our hotel. Once we're done settling in, we went out for the hunt of good food. Mind you, we were starving cause we hadn't eaten lunch yet. So my brother suggested a new place for nasi kandar which he says, in terms of taste, this place wins compared to the overly famous ones like nasi kandar beratur, line clear and what not. SO we went there and god, people were lining up and when we finally got our plates, it was a heavenly taste for my palate. it was AWESOME ! loved it so much. Totally forgot to mention the name, it's DEEN MAJU 

Obviously along the way we stopped at multiple random streets and stuff. Perks of going on foot.

 

Next stop was a chendol place suggested by our Uber driver. and man was it a great decision to follow his suggestion. The chendol itself was yummy, the santan or coconut milk used has a roasted taste to it which goes really well with the brown sugar and stuff. Really creamy and delicious. A lot of people were lining up here as well, and some them ate while standing, but not us, we are refined woman who looks for chairs. bluerghh

 And after the good chendol we went and just walked everywhere randomly and found the common attacrtion of course, street arts and what not, also beautiful hidden places that we never heard about. so it was a great exercise to burn all the food we vacuumed in earlier.

Good old street art

Random Lorong

Coffee brewing

 

Last but not least before retreating we looked for a drink and stumble upon this place called Tea Kadai which serves milk tea using 100% fresh cow milk. And they are not kidding with their tea okayy ? the only word i can use to explain the tea is super light, i took the iced one so i dunno if the hot one would taste the same or not. but as far as i can expect i bet it's all super light. I think it would be a really good thirst quenching kind of drink.

Okay, that's it

i pray i have the strength to write the next part.

Goodbye
