0 comments
Hello all!! I jst came back from my fantasticly long holiday! Which is very tiring and fun too~ hahaha XD

The plan was suppose to be going to Kedah directly but since at that moment AirAsia is doing promotion. So, we took the flight to Kedah from KL instead. It was around RM58 I think. To avoid delay, I've stayed at my aunt's house for 2 nights with Ah Ma and Chen chen in KL before the flight =D
We reached during the night and headed straight to home and off to bed.
But Aunt Jess and Kak Siti cooked for us some food first before sleep. =D
The very lucky of us *chen and me* got to travel by car cause it was Wesak day.
So, in the morning, we went to the temple for pray.


Then, we go to One Utama for shopping and stuffs.
After that, we went to this Little Indian street Brickfields to watch Wesak Day's parade. There were 30 of them so i'm putting a few pics here.. If u wanna see more then click>>; this =D










Tips learned in KL: bring change on such occasion so u can give donation anytime to alot of diff association.
So during the night, Peng came over as planned. We took a taxi to LCCT and fly to Kedah.
Our flight was early in the morning, thus Chen's parents brought us to eat breakfast.
First time I tried this "Dry Kuey Teow" very simple yet so nice to eat. =D
Then we went to Chen's house to freshen up and rest for while.
Thanks to Chen and her family. We managed to eat the very famous asam fish at Jitra. ONE OF THE VERY BEST ASAM FISH I"VE HAD!! XD
The restaurant name is Restoran 5 Utara.*frgt to take pic of the shop* LOl =P
The restaurant was filled with a lot of people even it was weekday! *salutes*
The food we had->
Thai chicken feet
Fried Soft Shell Crab
Wrapped sotong
Mixed vege
and the most FAMOUS AND DELICIOUS STEAMED ASAM PEDAS FISH! ahhhHH! XD
Tips in Kedah: Have a car and jst relax. They have big roads and no jam! =D

Then, the nxt day we went to Langkawi!
Took ferry (ticket: RM23) Langkawi's Jetty Point.
We (Chen, Peng, Su Ching and me) meet up with Joey and her sis(i didn't frgt her name but i jst dont knw how to write in chinese). =D
We rent Avanza for RM100 with RM50 deposit for whole day (24hrs).



Drove to this cafe and had our brunch~ XD
The food is just SO-SO only.. Don't expect much..



Then we simply drove around Langkawi aimlessly to
liqour and choco duty free shops and Under Water World and Island Horse and Black Sand and basically whole Langkawi.












Just incase if you're wondering~ We stayed in a resort called Malibest at Pantai Chenang for 1 night for only RM150 and RM50 key deposit.

Then night time, we went to have our dinner at Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant along Pantai Chenang too.

We ordered




Then we packed our bags and headed back to Kedah *chen's house* to take our luggage.
But, before that, we had our breakfast at this Arked Pokok Asam 1
(use GPS to find the address if u wan to..i frgt d =P)
The waiter told us that the most famous is the Yin Yang Cha and Luan Kut Mee.
So we ordered drinks

Egg and Sausage set.
Yin Yang cold and hot

Luan Kut Mee (soft Bone mee)
Wan Tan Mee
Tips in Langkawi: Have lots of money and don't simply buy liqour(it's very troublesome), rent a car cause Langkawi is small. Just follow the free map and that's it.

We reached Kedah and packed our luggage as the next day we will be going to Penang. =D Had our dinner.
Around 11.30pm, we went to have our supper.
This curry mee stall is really famous among the local and it is seriously NOT CHEAP OR REASONABLE but still delicious.
Only this 3 bowls, it already cost around RM30.




Random pics *chen's cat* SO CUTE!

Then we headed to Penang in the morning. Took a bus to the Jetty in Butterworth (ticket RM10) then from Jetty took a ferry(RM1.20) (love the open air ferry) to Penang Island! Too bad Su Ching can't follow.




Then we took bus to JOey's house. =D
After that, we went to Prangin Mall at Georgetown.
We had our brunch at this ShuanShuanLe Steambot. This is my first time after so many years of NO PRAWNS and i took a bite. I was really happy and excited eventhough the very nxt day i was itchy all over. LOL! XD


Then I took some takoyaki for RM3.90. There was only 4 biji and IT"S NOT NICE and the salesgirl was so rude. Her face shows "HIT ME". =P

Then we went to 1st Avenue for a walk then to Gurney Plaza.
We even watched movie (The Priest for RM11) at Gurney Plaza.

Bought this Green Tea Ice Cream for RM2.90 and it's delicious. =D

So, night time came and we jst walked out from the Plaza and headed to this famous Gurney Drive Hawker Center.
Some pics of the stall that we bought the food from..
We ordered (for the first round)
Fried Oyster, Rojak, Asam Laksa, 5TasteSoup *lol..dont knw how to translate the name*, Char Kuey Teow





Har Mee / Hokkien Mee
Chee Cheong Fun

Steamed Otak-otak
Then the next day~
Our breakfast was at this shop>>
Fatty Loh Chicken Rice

They only sell their kuey teow soup for RM1 NETT!
Cha Siew and Lor Bak and Chicken Meat
Joey's parents brought us there and ordered 11 bowls NOT inclusive of the additional chicken rice and side dishes.
All Types of cooked drinks @@


Following>>
We went to all possible temples and historical places in Penang.
Some of the pics.The pics are in time sequence =D






I LOVE THIS LOTUS THINGY!! I threw around 12 coins and i got 3 into the bowl!! XD
I got Prosperity, Good Luck and Happy Marriage =.='''. But I'm still thankful! ^^











They said that this person is a real human and he have reached the stage of enlightenment. @@ I seriously don't knw anything bout it.











So after that, we had our late lunch.
We ate asam laksa and deep fried snacks.



Then we headed home to rest and went off to dinner.
So paiseh cause it's JOey's Ah Ma's mother day dinner. >.<
But actually we all was mentally forced to join along. LOL~ Jst Jking.. But we really had a really massive dinner to finish. It felt like ages when I was eating it..T^T But it's really delicious! XD
I think the picture will tell u what the food is. If you have any question can jst ask me. =D




Finished our dinner, we went home and prepare for tomorrow's departure to our own hometown.
Breakfast was another gigantic one too.. T_____________T
There's roti canai, char bee hoon and kuey teow and mee, fried chicken, soup, vege, fried rice, curry and lor bak. @@

Finally, Joey's dad drove us to Komtar and it was raining. It's the end of our road trip. *touched*

Tips in Penang: Have lots of changes if u wanted to go to temple. YOu'll definately need it! When u go to hawker centre, don't think that the one where ppl queuing up is the one that is very nice.=.= TRUST ME IN THIS! Use ur smell and sight to check the food.

I would like to thank Chen Chen's parents and Joey's parents for all the food and stay and hospitality given. It was a truly enjoyable trip.

Till next time! I want to go to such holiday again! ^^
