3 pals with a bit too much of work pressure decided to take a break in penang. art on a 2 month-job break, kumar had the 3 days of leave and i had to clear mine.
since it was art's first trip to penang (can you believe it), being the usual man with a mission kumar and i made sure that he would manage to sample all of penang's finest.
We started early, leaving at 6:15am. Look at what we did for day 1:
... herbal duck mee in bidor
(good stuff)
(what a beautiful town, with much of its old world charm intact)
... lunch at line clear nasi kandar and penang road chendol
(arthur and kumar with glorious penang nasi kandar)
(awesome. our culture still is well and truly alive with the old blending in with the new)
... checked in at continental (so we could easily walk back from soho after getting wasted)
... dinner at gurney drive (whacking rm6 worth of chicken skin)
(see the happy faces whacking hawker food with its unhealthy goodness)
... dvd shopping at bt. feringghi
... drinking away at soho and catching pole dancing at nearby club
Day 2, it was the more "touristic" day out:
... morning walk along golden sands beach
... teluk bahang jetty
... teluk kumbar seafood
(a view like this convinces you that there is a god)
... nite market at feringghi and dvd shopping day 2
and to cap it off, stopping by taiping on the way back on the third day.
Arthur, dude that was the best we could offer you as far as a tour of penang goes. Lotsa penang food to remind you how stale you singapore food is and a bit of penang nitelife and drinks with friends to remember these 3 days of chill.
