♥ Penang Trip ♥

Monday, July 9, 2007

Wah..... The long waited post finally come out. Sorry for no new post for quite a long time. I gave myself a holiday. Guess most of you must be missing me a lot. Sorry for keep you waiting for so long. Hehe..

Last week I went for holiday in west Malaysia. Going quite few places. As this year we are having our 'Year Of Visit Malaysia 2007'. See how good I am , responding to the campaign. No worries. Will share with all of you slowly.

Let me bring you tour around Penang. Enjoy the picture.

First thing we go to Penang off cause is for the food. So once we reached there, we straight away go and look for the food. We reached the mamak stall.

Search.... Search.... Search..... Ah!!! This is the thing i am looking for. FRIED OYSTER!
They said the fried oyster in Penang is so much different with fried oyster in Kuching.

Ya, It's true. So much different.
(PS: As you look at the photo, don't be jealous ya. hehehe)

Fried Oyster.

Penang famous 'Char Keow Teow'

'Loh Mee' Nice Nice..

After rewarded our stomach. We started our journey. Go!!!!

Penang Hill
- Malaysia's oldest hill resort

- 800 m above sea level

Penang view from the top of Penang Hill.

At the foot of the hill is the Penang Hill Railway, one of the world's oldest funicular systems. Built in 1897, but commissioned only in 1923, the railway has a track of about 2,007 metres ascending to a height of 710 metres above sea level.

But this is too slow for me. I think only gear 1. Waited until want to sleep still haven't reach the hill top.

A long way to go.

Gurney Walk

Mamak stall. Almost like our Kuching Festival. They can enjoy it everyday. Not like us. we have to wait for once a year.

Penang 'Har Mee'.

More food.... food.... Rojak, Penang Laksa, 'Mua Chi', fried oyster

This is nice.... Wonderful Dim Sum for breakfast. Very fresh. Definitely not from the frozen food from supermarket.

A historical place. (But i forgot what is the name already.)

St. George's Church

St. George's Church is the oldest Church of the Province of South East Asia Anglican church in Southeast Asia. It was completed in 1818 on the initiative of the Penang Colonial Chaplain, Rev. Robert Sparke Hutchings (who also went on to found the Penang Free School and consecrated on 11 May 1819by the Bishop of Calcutta, Thomas Fanshawe Middleton.

Penang Government Office.

Fort Cornwallis

Fort Cornwallis was built by Captain Sir Francis Light after taking possession of the island from the Sultan of Kedah in 1786.

Little me with big Sir Francis Light and the big gun.

Guess what is this????

It's a place to keep all the Cannon and weapons.

Chapel/Church - First chapel built in Penang and the first recorded service which took place was the marriage of Francis Light' widow, Martina Rozells, to John Timmers in 1799.
