Went to Kedah & Penang last Sunday. And all i can say is, 'Eat! Eat! Eat!' and 'Rain! Rain! Rain!'

First stop, went to Sungai Petani and spent 2 nights there, that is 20th & 21st September. Sungai Petani is an interesting for sight-seeing, but the problem with me (or rather my friend's) is that he got no car to bring me there. However, he did took me out for some amazing food there.

(peanut ice-blended)

Though i don't really like cold drinks, but this 1 is really something that you should try. No something that we can find in KL i guess (maybe KL have it, just that i don't really check out the choices available under the cold drinks section in town)

(mee Jawa which costs RM2.50, can you get it with the same price in KL?)

(some dessert, don't know what it is called)

(something like 'Apam Balik' in KL but that is without the fillings, can't recall the name of it as well)

Then, went over to Penang island on the 22nd morning. Maybe the island doesn't like me (knowing that i am a 100% KL dog, a hokkien kia who can't really speak nor understand hokkien language) whenever my friend want to bring me out for sight-seeing, it will definitely rain.

Therefore, nice food rank first right after sight-seeing.

(a famous Fried Kuey Teow on the island, waited for an hour for it to come)

If you ask me if it is worth the wait, i will suggest to eat something else instead. Nothing special, like ordinary Fried Kuey Teow we can find in KL. Not cheap as well, RM6 per plate for normal serving.

Another famous food of Penang.

(Asam Laksa)

(the Asam Laksa stall near Kek Lok Si Temple)

I don't really like Asam Laksa, so i won't comment if the 1 on the island is better than those in KL.

And last but no least, Hokkien Mee of Penang.

(1 of my personal favourite, Prawn Mee if you are from anywhere else except Penang)

Manage to visit Kek Lok Si Temple though (under raining condition)

(view from the temple's hill)

For 3 consecutive nights in Penang island, i 'water' myself with alcohol drinks.

First night, whiskey at Mu Xuan's place during and after dinner.

Second night, whiskey at Mois (which according to my friend is the island's most happening club for the time being)

Third night, beer at F.A.M.E. (used to be the s**t of the island back then) for the showcase of some hair-dressing related competition.

If time allow, i will definitely re-visit Penang (Nasi Kandar belum try ni, haven't check out Penang girls somemore, Penang beach and more)

(friends who so nice to bring me here and there during my visit, l-r : Jya Qi, Kang Herng, Mu Xuan, Poh Lee & Caryn)

REALLY REALLY REALLY thank you all very much for your time, effort and hospitality.

If there is anything that you all need back in KL, let me know. '上刀山，落油锅，揾命搏'

Just give me a call and i will be there.
