Penang Trip!

Hi ya! I'm back from Penang trip with dear yesterday!
The trip was from 14th till 16th January (Yeah it was damn short D:)

Our bus ticket from Pudu Raya to Butterworth

We reached Pudu Raya Terminal at around 7am and there are many scary people holding walkie-talkies going around asking if we wanted ticket to Penang (Like they actually know we were going there). 
Even when we say no, they followed around and ask again and again. 
Do not ever buy tickets from them as they are unofficial tickets. High chance that they are conmen.


In the bus.


So we boarded our bus to Butterworth via Ipoh. We stopped at Terminal Amanjaya, Ipoh for a 30 minutes lunch break. There was nothing nice to eat there -_-


And so, we take pictures lol.

While waiting for bus to continue journey again


The place was quite nice as a terminal. Renovated and really clean!


We continue journey and reached Penang jetty. Boarded ferry to reach Georgetown for a fare of RM 1.20.
They only use coins for entrance and that place is really old. The smell of salted fish was all around ._.

Waited for around 15 minutes and finally we got on the ferry.


On the ferry~


And guess who I saw on the ferry? I SAW ERN KHAI! Well, I guess its him though I never met him before. 
Or perhaps, its someone else ._.

Reached Georgetown at around 3.15pm and we waited for the free Penang shuttle bus to take us to KOMTAR. Waited for like 15 minutes under the hot sun only come one bus. Then another 15 minutes only the bus move -________-

From KOMTAR we walk for like 10 minutes to reach Tune Hotel. Checked in at 4pm.
The room was small but its good enough for 2 of us in my opinion. 
Had a quick bath and off we go for food hunt!


First stop : New World Park (right beside Tune Hotel)

 

 Pretty high class place. The Starbucks outlet there were nice too!


Second Stop : Yi Garden Restaurant (For late super late lunch - dinner)

Well Google and some other sources say it is famous and it is nearby our hotel so we decided to go there.

This is their famous wantan mee. The black sauce is really different than what we have in KL.
RM 4 if I'm not mistaken


Dear had a bowl of deer noodle ._.
First time eating deer meat and it have a hint of ginger taste. 
*Sorry no picture*

We were still hungry after eating our food so we decided to order Hokkien Char.
DAMN CHEAP! RM 3 for one plate!
Got prawn and pork somemore!


Third Stop : Food Street

We got full and went walking around to digest for a little bit. Exploring Georgetown by feet!

The food street with various Penang delicacies!

And we found this! Pork satay! RM 1 per stick ._.
We had to sneak this into our hotel lol. It taste so-so only.
Bought 6 but I only managed to finish 1. Too full.


KOMTAR

Some Methodist church. The rubbish truck really spoiled the view lol.
(If I never mention, would you notice? :P)

On our way back to hotel.
Finish the satay, bath, sleep and there ends our first day in Penang.
