Penang Weekend!!

Drove up to Penang for the weekend. We stayed at Eastin Hotel, which is located near the bridge and walking distance from Queensbay Mall.

The mall was HUGE. Walked in it a bit then headed out for some yummy Penang food. We wanted to go to McAlister Road for the famous Char Kuey Tiew but the GPS wasn't working properly coz it couldn't get reception inside Loo's car. We sesat for a while but managed to find the place in the end, thanks to the human GPS, Lam Wai Ming.

I had Ais Kacang, fried oysters and shared Assam Laksa and Char Kuey Tiew with Yaacob. Everyone was quite full but for me it was not enough. I love Penang food and was eager for more!

Went back to the hotel to rest before dinner. Lam held sorta like a briefing session for all of us to run through the evening's plan.

Lam: "Ok everybody, dinner is at 7pm, we come back to the hotel to change and get ready at 9pm and then, go party at 10pm."

After that he hadta repeat himself coz Yaacob wasn't listening and Jessie wasn't there. So he repeated the entire thing with Jessie on the phone and Yaacob beside him *LOL*

This is us, right before we stepped outta the room to meet the others in the lobby for dinner. This is our 2nd Penang trip. I think we should come to Penang more often coz I really love the local food.

Dinner was at Teluk Kumbar. Quite far from the hotel. It's like Jimbaran in Bali, where you dine at the beach with sand at your feet. Only, the beach at Jimbaran was bigger, wider and nicer. The view of the sunset during dinner was breathtaking! Check out the pic below...

We went to AutoCity Juru at the mainland to party. Had great fun. It was Loo's birthday so everybody made him drink lots. At the end of the night, he was drunk. I think everyone had a great time, had a bit too much to drink, so, was a bit tipsy towards the end. The party ended at 2am, which was a bit too early for us. So we went to a club nearby for after-party before heading back to the hotel.

Woke up at about 11am the next day. Missed breakfast :( Luckily, I didn't have a hangover. Everybody else was still sleeping, so our plans to have Nasi Kandar and the power steamed fish that Lam was talking about tak jadi. Hmmm... Maybe next time. Checked out then headed back to KL.
