Penang : Day 2!

Okay I know this is a super delayed post.
Sorry, this is gonna be a post full of pictures too.


We woke up at around 7 plus, I insisted to sleep for a little bit longer but dear say it would be crowded in hawker stalls.
So we left at around 8 and guess what, the hawker stalls just start opening -.-
That is late if compared to KL -_-


We went to Sin Seow Fong Lye Cafe for breakfast
We ordered prawn mee or better known as Hokkien mee in Penang and dear had Char Kuey Teow

This wasn't bad


And this was great! Tasted different somehow if compared to what we have in KL
They're generous with their prawns and bean sprouts!

Once we're done eating, we're ready to explore Georgetown!


First stop : Georgetown painting hunt!

As many may have known, Penang is pretty popular with the street art they have like the "Kids on Bicycle" painting.
Besides that, there are many other paintings done by the famous artist and the paintings are scattered all over Georgetown.

We sat the free shuttle bus and walked to find for the paintings!
(We referred to a brochure to search for them)

The ever famous "Kids on Bicycle" painting



Having fun lol.


"Old Man" painting


"Traffic Police" (Stylo, rich enough to buy Starbucks instead of Kopi-O)



Boy on Chair


Ignore my super dry/messy hair and those gigantic leg muscles -.-

Yo.

"Old Motorcycle"


2nd stop : St George Church


So next, we wanted to explore more of Georgetown and we saw a really beautiful white building.


We thought it was a museum and therefore entered.
And it turns out its not museum but a church. *Awkwardness*
St. George Church. 
We entered and there's nobody there but still proceed to look around in awkward silence. It was a beautiful church which are open for visitors


We signed the guestbook and went outside to wait for the bus. 
The weather that day had never been so hot, really.

So we sat back the shuttle bus and suddenly saw one of the street arts while in the bus and quickly snap picture

"Man on Trishaw"


3rd stop : Fort Cornwallis

I was never a fan of historical sites and needless to say, forts.
But dear wanted to go in despite the fact that he is a guy and would like these stuffs.

So we went in and damn, the sun is blazing to the max.
I didn't really enter those what seems like rooms.
He snap snap snap and then we took picture together and left lol.



Nope, we're still at the fort. No beaches in Georgetown.



So we went back to our hotels to chill a bit and shelter from the hot sun.
After a bit, we went back out to meet with his friend.
Sat his car and went to malls~

- Straits Quay Mall (Beautiful new mall with European-like structures)
- Gurney Plaza
- Queensbay

Then we went to some park for ice cream. The ice cream super special!
The ice cream was filled in a carton box. The ice cream man have to cut it into half and scoop out ice cream. The ice cream bun was added with peanuts.
Rm 3 like that for one. We thought it was around maximum RM 2 only since KL ice cream bun only RM 1.50 -.-

But ok la, worth it since its a hot day.

While on the way to dinner, I saw big Starbucks with Drive-thru!

Nice lor, drive thru.

We had our dinner in a western restaurant.
Forgotten the name, paiseh.

And it ends our day in 2nd day in Georgetown :(
