Penang Trip 2018: Day 5

It was our last day in Penang. We lazed till 1pm before heading over to Hin Bus Depot to visit the Hin Pop-Up Sunday Market. 

Peranakan shophouese along the way to Hin Bus Depot

After the Sunday market, we headed back to Lebuh Pantai, Georgetown as Marieann wanted to get a few things from the shops. 

Street art on the wall of a cafe

Incidentally saw more street art

Mareiann had late lunch/ early dinner at an Ajisen ramen equivalent while I went back to Lebuh Presgrave hawker centre for dinner after leaving Marieann at the hotel. I had fried oyster and chendol. Yummy! 

I took pity on Marieann for not having tried local food so I packed Heh Chee (fried prawn pieces, tofu, sausages, etc) and Buah Long Long drink for her to try. Kudos to Noordin Mews for their excellent service. When I returned to the hotel, the staff immediately offered to unpack the food onto a plate and brought it to our room with a big smile!

Penang Trip 2018: Day 4

It was an free and easy day for us. No schedule and no plans to follow, just went with the flow. 
Lazed around and watched tv in the room after breakfast haha. 

Fruits and Nuts Granola

We took a Grab to Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street) just after noon to browse around the area. We didn't intentionally look for Penang Street Art as we saw them back in 2014. 

I had dessert at China House, one of the famous cafes in Penang.

The highlight of China House - the bakery table with 30 different cakes available daily

I went for dinner alone while Marieann napped. I went to Lebuh Presgrave hawker centre, just a street away from our hotel. It was my best hour ever for the trip haha. I had Hokkien Prawn Mee and Ais Kacang. Yum!

The famous 888 Hokkien Prawn Mee 

I also saw 2 kittens and a cat on the way to and back from the hawker centre and played with them for a while before going back to the hotel. 

An unexpected late night entertainment happened around 1120pm. There was a fireworks display which we could view through one of the small windows. Not sure what the occasion was.

Tonight's turn-down service snack -peanut brittle

Shortbread Scottie Dogs

I received this box of pure butter shortbread from a colleague who attended a conference in UK. Yum!

Kit Kat

I am always intrigued by the different flavours that Kit Kat comes up with.

"You Are an Original Kit Kat"

You are a very down to earth and regular person. And you are very okay with that... you're proud of your realism.
You think rules are important, and you don't mind playing by them to get ahead. You really appreciate structure and order.

You see the world as how it is, and you don't get caught up in unrealistic dreams. You have a good head for learning and remember facts.
You are a practical person who loves to think about how things work. You don't appreciate strangeness for its own sake.
What Flavor Kit Kat Are You?

Food for Thought

Plenty of food for thought on this day as we had a meeting at the National Library Board and lunch after that with great company.
