Went to Penang again, with YC, Nicole and Joyenn
3 days 2 nights trip
Took a flight instead of bus this time, well airplane is much more better tho its slightly expensive
Save time, only took around 45 mins to reach Penang
To and fro ticket only costed RM100 per person, Air Asia lai, not too bad la hehe
So we stayed at home stay instead of hotel
Its cheaper, RM45 per person per night
We stayed at Syok @ Chulia

The corridor outside our room
Our room
Our room is a 6 persons female dorm
We shared our room with a Nigerian lady
She's quite a nice and fun person, she shared her travelling experiences with us, quite talkative xia la haha, too bad didn't manage to tell her when we left
Its really awesome, I will recommend it if any of you wanna stay at home stay at Penang
Its located at Chulia Street, well its at the center of the city, so you can get to places easily by bus or walking
The staffs are friendly, the bed is so comfy xia, but at night will be a bit noisy la, cuz it's located at the main road, overall its a really really nice home stay <3
At night there's even a night market thing nearby, just walked 400m down the street and walah lots of food
The superrrrr nice curry mee
Then we ordered char kuey tiow too, didn't take dao pics eh heheh but its super nice too
And their wantanmee it's like so so so good too om nom nom
Day 1:
Taken on plane, my fav is the sky heeeee
After our flight we took bus to our dorm at Chulia Street Georgetown
The buses at Penang is good, KL buses can go sleep tbh
Their cleanliness, and they are usually on time
We took bus 401, only costed us for RM2.70
Got off at a street near Chulia Street, walked for around 10++ mins
Reached our destination safely with the help of Google Map, they have routes for pedestrians awesome XD
Waze only have routes for cars tho
After we had settled down, of course we went for food 1st haha
So we went to Joo Hui Cafe located at Jalan Penang
Their cendol there is famous, and it's super nice woots
Cendol <3
Laksa
Quite good but the one near Kekloksi Temple is better, tho we didn't manage to go there
Char kuey tiow
Honest speaking, the one I mentioned near Chulia Street is better
After our meals, we went to Camera Museum located at Muntri Street
It's actually just next to the Chulia Street
Quire worth it to pay it a visit, learnt lots of stuffs xia, history of cameras XD
The entrance
World's 1st camera
Taking a pic was so hard before, you need to sit still for 20 mins
Ironically, we can't even sit still for 20 secs for a pic now
This 3D camera was 150 years old
(if I remember correctly ;p)
Polaroid!
Instagram logo XD
Lego! So cute XD
Guess who XD
When we left the museum, we saw a cafe with durian puffs and so we went for a try
Durian puffs and choc banana cake
Quite nice (Y)
After that, we went to 1st Avenue, it's a shopping complex
Not too bad, quite KL style xia their mall
There's H&M and even Cotton On XD
Went to AEON Big to buy hair shampoo, as it's not allowed to bring liquid more than 100ml on plane, so we decided to buy at Penang
Then, we settled our dinner at the night market @ Chulia Street as I mentioned above
Thanks to the tauke of our dorm tho
After our dinner was already 11pm something, actually quite late xia already
But we were too carefree which we shouldn't have la
Thanks to one random Chinese uncle, he warned us, well we were enjoying too much le, should notice our environment too
Lots of Indian guys xia which it doesn't appear much safe actually
Will take note of it le kamsahae random uncle
Day 2:
I woke up unusually early, automatically some more haha, 7:36am
Settled our breakfast at our dorm, as it was free
Tho it's just some breads and cereals, okok la XD
Then we continued our journey, to the time machine XD
Jk we went to Penang Time Tunnel at Jalan Green Hall, by taxi
Originally I planned to go to Penang 3D Trick Art Museum, as it was quite famous as I keep seeing it on Google
But the uncle took us to this Time Tunnel instead, anyway it's quite good too
They have 2 levels, the 1st level was some history about Penang
As we were walking we have to find answers on the info along our way
I saw Francis Light, SHTI, NNS etc
Form 2 sejarah eh XD
We managed to got everything right and they gave us a mini jigsaw puzzle as souvenir
Then the 2nd level was some 3D art, AWESOME
Kudos to the staffs, they did a great job by guiding us, giving us advises bout how to take the pic, and also took pics for us
Let the pics do the talking:
Then there's this dark room, which when you take pic you must use flash light, the effect was quite cool <3
Lastly, the anti-gravity room XD
Floating~ XD
Sitting and chilling on the ceiling cuz sitting on the sofa is just too mainstream XD
After that, we randomly went to cafe, too tired, need to charge xia haha
We saw a cafe named Armenian House at Armenian Street online, looks nice so decided to go for a try
Coincidentally I met the same store selling ice balls, went with Pud gang last year haha, also walked randomly XD
Group photo (Y)
The sandwich I ordered and shared with Joyenn at Armenian House
Mozarella cheese + tomato sandwich and mocha
Super cheesy super nice weee XD
After our meal, we went to Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon by taking bus 101
Shopping, again XD
Then got back to dorm around 3pm something by taxi, we were exhausted, walking 90% of the trip, my leg was even like having a slight cramp, so we decided to take a quick bath and some rest back at our dorm
Dinner was settled again at the same place, but we tried wantanmee instead (lots of food XD)
After our dinner, bought some beer and snacks at 7-11, happy hour back at our dorm weee XD
Day 3:
Breakfast was at Chulia Street, didn't know the name of the restaurant oops forget to see
YC's friend brought us to there, she's quite funny and cute, we will meet each other again at Monash heheh XD
Their char siew was nice, I loved it, different from KL style xia, but I loved it
After our breakfast, we went to Amazing World at Pengkalan Weld
It looks awesome on their website, but well actually, it's kinda lame, nothing much actually
Penang Time Tunnel was way more awesome, highly recommended (Y)
After this, we went to Queensbay Mall as it's quite near to the Penang International Airport
Yea, shopping, again XD
Then we took bus 306 to the airport, only costed us RM2 per person
P/s: Thanks 佩恬 for driving us around <3
And so the 3 days 2 nights trip ended
Had so much fun <3
Let's travel together again
