Curry Wan Tan Mee @ Asia Cafe, near Penang Hill
The Wan Tan Mee texture is good, as it is tenderly crunchy. However, the curry sauce is a total let down. Tasted very bland. Thank god, I do not need to finish the whole plate of it.

Braised Yee Mee @Asia Cafe, near Penang Hill
A non-ordinary Yee Mee was used, braised with 2 big prawns, generous portion of meat and vegetable. The charred smell (wok hei) can be tasted in every mouth of serving. What else better can I ask for to start my day even though I do not fancy breakfast? Just awesomely tasty.

The queue for the Penang Hill ticket was madly congested with human at 10.15am. We managed to get the ticket for 12.45pm. Should we just wait? Definitely no.
We decided to walk from Penang Hill to Air Itam town. Reason is, it is darn difficult to get our car parked around. The seniors was sporting, walking together under the hot sun to the Kek Lok Si without complaining tired or hot. We do hang on by a memorial garden for soldiers near the Air Itam town for some shots.
We reached Kek Lok Si after 25 minutes of walk. Mum was busy getting some T-shirts while I checked on some turtles and taking some pictures with Pei Yee.
It was 11.30am, and we rushed down to eat the Air Itam Asam Laksa.
Asam Laksa @ Pasar Air Itam, Penang
The most famous Asam Laksa in Penang for very long time. I remembered eating it during my first ever visit to Penang when I was still 11. The soup is murky with the blended fish meat. It has a strong fishy aroma thanks to the heavy drizzling of prawn paste. Ambience wise, it is situated by the wet market, so can you imagine? However, the taste is fantabulous. Not a bowl of Asam Laksa to be missed upon patronising Kek Lok Si.

We nicely managed to make it for the train at 12.45pm.
Ramley Burger @ Penang Hill
At 800m above sea level, this gotta be the fresh-made Ramley Burger that I consumed at the highest altitude. It is fresh, hot and consuming it with the chilly breeze of air, made my visit to Penang Hill an unforgettable one.

We chill around on top the hill till about 3pm before we went down to have our tea break at Lorong Selamat about 4pm before heading to Batu Ferringhi for the beach at 5pm.
Curry Laksa @ Hawker Stall near Midtown Cafe,Lorong Selamat
Curry laksa in Penang is very special as they come with prawn, sotong, and jelly blood. The laksa is very clear, not spicy at all but still maintaining the curry laksa taste. Good for those that can't take spicy stuff. I would rate this slightly above average.

Mee Jawa @ Hawker Stall near Midtown Cafe, Lorong Selamat
This Mee Jawa is fantastically awesome. So good, that we ordered 3 plates of it and finished them all! It just costs RM 3, and it tasted very genuinely of Jawa Mee. The gravy is seasoned nicely. No boric acid from the mee can be tasted while not forgetting the condiments of all the fried stuff are fresh. Truly awesome.

Popiah @ Hawker Stall near Midtown Cafe, Lorong Selamat
Seriously, this Popiah failed badly. Tasteless, too watery, too soggy. Even my dad which is not so picky, complained about this popiah. Gg stuff.

Fried Oyster / Oh Jien @ Hawker Stall near Midtown Cafe, Lorong Selamat
Looked good, tasted even better. Charred smell (wok-hei) can be tasted in every bites of it. Oyster used were big, fresh and juicy. It is not starcy as opposed to the one we had at Gurney Drive. Seasoned nicely, making it a sin not to indulge in this sinfully fantastic Oh Jien. Oh-la-la, I miss this Oh Jien badly..

We were back to hotel about 7pm for washing up before we walk down to New Lane for our dinner. Finished dinner about 9pm and the seniors decided to head to another place to listen to some live singing.
The famous Pork Innard Porridge Stall @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
Pork Innard Porridge @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
It comes in generous portions of fried and steamed innards together with slices of Char Siew. Porridge texture is unbeliavably smooth. Love it every bits~! If you are a fan of innards, grab a bowl and you won't regret.
Mixed Fried Stuff Stall @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
They offer fried chicken backside, chicken skin, chicken meat and taufoo. We just ordered the chicken meat and taufoo.
Fried Taufoo and Chicken coated with Belacan @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
Fried Loh Bak Ko/ Koay Kak @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
It comes with prawn, slices of sotong and fishcake. Very different eh? However, taste wise, it is a bit let down. It lacks the 'wok hei' smell. Texture wise, the Koay Kay is a little too soft. Shall look for a better Koay Kak next time from another stall. Nonetheless, it still beats alot of other stalls in KL.
Chee Cheong Fun @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
Really Chee-Cheong look alike, roundish and layered. The texture is just nicely solid and smooth. Gravy wise, they serve you Sweet Sauce, Chilli Sauce and the Prawn Paste. I love this type of Chee Cheong Fun. Even though I'm full, I finished whacking the whole plate.
Pork Satay @ New Lane, Off Jln Mccalister
Porky satay. It's meaty, no fat, seasoned and grilled nicely. However, the gravy its not up to par. If gravy is not your concern, this is the Satay not to be missed. Don't think KL have any yet.
The complimentary cordial drinks @ Sunway Hotel, Georgetown.
It is just pineapple cordial drinks.=.=
Penang Banana & Kaya Pancake @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
My appetizers to satisfy my sweet tooth and it never failed me
Umbra Juice @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
Tasted very pure. Good for thirst quencher.
The Asam Laksa Stall @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
A worth trying Asam Laksa stall in Gurney Drive during the night time. I always patronise this shop whenever I craved for Asam Laksa during the night time in Penang.
Sunrise Asam Laksa@ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
It's night time, craving for Asam Laksa. Just indulge myself with a bowl of Asam Laksa.It is the similar style to the famous Air Itam Asam Laksa(murky type). Not to say the best in Penang, but nonetheless, it tasted good enough that I able to finished it up.
Char Koay Teow @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
We wondered why do people Q-up for this CKT. Somemore claimed it is Penang Best with a thumb up. So we decided to try it, is it that good?
Self Claimed Penang Best Char Koay Teow@ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
Really darn cannot make it. No charred smell (wok hei), doesn't taste like Char Koay Teow. There is hint of raw Koay Teow Smell. Worse, it is way too salty. Prawns are small. First ever penang hawker food that I can't finish. Penang Best Char Koay Teow? Talk to my hand..
Muar Chee Stall @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
Muar Chee @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
This Muar Chee is yummylicious. It is generously drizzled with mince groundnuts, making every bite of muar chee coated well with the nuts. Texture wise, soft, spongy and smooth, very unique. Personally not a fan of Muar Chee, but I finished cleariing up the whole platter. Great stuff.
Kimberly Famous Tau Foo Fah @ Gurney Hawker Fair, Gurney Drive
Coated with bron sugar. The texture of the Tau Foo Fah is so darn smooth. Just love every spoon of it, as it melts in your mouth. Awesome.
Roti Planta @ Mamak, Opposite Coffe House, Gurney Drive
Do not try it. It is too heavily drizzled with sugar
Roti Planta @ Mamak, Opposite Coffe House, Gurney Drive
Even though I have a sweet tooth, but the amount of sugar they drizzled to this roti is way too crazy. Are they promoting diabetes? Two thumbs down for the roti.

Roti tisu@ Mamak, Opposite Coffe House, Gurney Drive
Looked good but tasted the otherwise. Too much sugar were being drizzled. So bad, that I asked the manager to have a look and he decided not to charge us for the Roti tisu and Roti planta.
It's 3am again where I round off the day with another bowl of prawn mee at the Burma Road. Reached hotel almost 4am, too lazy to pack and I dozed off straight.
