thay alw say the day before u leave a place is the day u splurge and at the same time,feel a lil sad ur leaving.soon.lol.that's exactly how i felt! and yup,we splurged on nice clothes and A SUPERRRRRR SUMPTOUS DINNER @ Bali Hai Seafood Restaurant.
woke up a lil later today,and went for breakfast at one of the many many eateries that was below my hotel,Evergreen Laurel :D i had a bowl of Lor Mee,the gravy was quite sweet and though she put maggi mee type of noodles in,it wasnt too bad! tasted a lil bit like our school's even! HAHAHA.then had prawn noodles,which was quite spicy yet sweet.and a lil sour at the back.lol.really different from ours in s'pore! Dad had char kway teow which he commented s'pore's version is definitely better! i guess they modified it to suit our tastebuds so he doesnt quite like it..i tried too! it was not bad actually,the noodles are abit drier but tangier and its not as sweet as what we have(:
venue 2: went to Gurney Plaza to shop around and i bought a top at MNG sale!:D its crazy everytime they've a MNG sale.its the same everywh! hahaha.im so lucky i tried it before i bought it,the zip was spoilt! 0.0 everyone bought sth too,poor dad was waiting for us like all the other men outside MNG today! it was quite a funny yet heartwarming sight.HAHAHA! walked out to look for gd local food for lunch,but we were disappointed to realise it was all closed ): they only open in the night! went to Oriental Seafood restaurant instead.i had fried hor fun,while dad and sis ate nasi lemak (which was really suited for chinese cause there were prawns and chicken and fish and an egg.no ikan billis!) and mum had seafood fried rice which was really just fried rice with eggs.LOL.
venue 3: we went back to the hotel to put our things down,and set off for Khoo Kongsi Clan Heritage place!:D we finally took a cab instead of the bus since we've no idea what to take...thats the prob w penang i guess.they dont give clear directions and what where who to go to :/ when we reached,we paid PM20 in total to look at their house and the Khoo's achievements-.- they're an awesome clan but i believe there could've been a guide to explain what was happening! seeing their ancestral tablets and the area they used to live in doesnt tell me v much bout them know.left feeling a little bit disappointed..next,we wanted to go to Campbell Walk where they said there was a few shophouses etc,and we ended up walking in circles as we've dont know its exact location and the map was confusing): oh well,skipped that and even Komtar (another shopping centre in Georgetown area).we ended up sitting in a cosy little dessert house along 'chinatown' of penang.i had foo chook (cooling for that super painful throat!:D) which wasn't too sweet,but there was too little contents in it for me to feel satisfied! HAHAHA.i tried dad's black glutinous rice which tasted quite weird w ice,sis had ice kachang w ice cream on top while mum had cendol.the cendol was the nicest!:D kop-ed alot from mum haha! refreshed,we walked abit more to look at the Georgetown area which is a UNESCO world heritage area itself and awed ourselves that the whole Gerorgetown area had so so many other UNESCO world heritage sites inside! after walking somemore,when mum and sis started complaining,we took a cab back to our hotel :D
venue 5: the highlight of the day....BALI HAI SEAFOOD RESTAURANT!!! they've a really cute slogan.'IF IT SWIMS,WE HAVE IT.' super funny lah! sis and i were thinking of sth that is reallyyy rare.make them paiseh cause they dont have it! HAHA.we thought of blue lobster,probability: 1 in 4 million.LOL! i had my starfruit juice and sis ordered guava while my parents had cooling beer for the food! omg.guess what i ate for dinner.everyth's live,fresh and simple.....delicious.
#1: clams in a light soup with small dates that was v tasty!
#2: chilli crab with man tou that was also v tasty!
#3: lala-snail like food that was fried with sambal and small shrimps that was even tastier!
#4: King bean sprouts that was so juicy and addictive w the salted fish tt came along w it!
#5: Praying Mantis prawns that was bigger than the size of my palm,its flesh was seriously gd i tell u.cooked on top of a whole plate of steamed eggs,the sweetness of the prawn's meat melted tgt with the egg whites...whoohoo! and its not cheap.RM35 each and we had 3 of it!
#6: BEST FOOD OF THE DAY.SOUTH AFRICAN ABALONE.omg,this one really rocks.super nice okay! and maybe cause its RM48 for that small little precious piece of abalone! yummy!! they had a piece of sea cucumber too.equally tangy yet melt in ur mouth!:D
WHOA.super full well fed and happy!!!!!!!!:D:D:D
i'll be having even more gd food before leaving for the airport tmr! think its buffet breafk again!im a lucky girl isn't it.:D
see your soon!:D
