Dim Sum was sea of people on National Day. Breakfast normal light food like Dim Sum is the best. But forgot the name of the restaurant. Dim Sum Restaurant is located at anson road. Just opposite KDU collage. Had breakfast here to be prepared that serve yourself. All Dim Sum are selfservice, no people serving . Some of the people are vying for food...hai.....



Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee

Penang curry is different with other curry mee. Taste are nice. Nowaday one bowl here is cost RM3.20 for small size and RM3.80 for big size and garnished with, coagulated pig's blood, prawn, tao pok and squid call jiu hu. Soup of curry mee is just a plain coconut milk and must add the chillies that bring out the taste in the curry mee.

Burmese Buddhist Temple - 缅甸玉佛寺

The temple is located at the enclave of Burmah Lane in Pulau Tikus. It founded at 1803. According to the temple record, the land was purchased by Burmese, NONYA BETONG from a British named George Layton . This Burmese Temple can be regarded as the earliest Burmese Buddhist Temple in Malaysia.

Wat Chaiyamangalaram Thai

Temple is located at Burmah Lane in Pulau Tikus just opposite the Burmese Buddhist Temple. Temple was build in 1845. It houses a huge reclining Buddha statue laid with gold leaves. It is the third largest reclining Buddha in the world as measuring 44 meter longs. The main entrance are painted few Naga Serpents. The reclining Buddha represent Pra Buddhachaiya Mongkul, the historical buddha and his death. This is the symbolizes the peace of the world.

Snake Temple


Snake Temple is located at Sungai Keluang, Bayan Lepas and it also call Hock Hin Keong. Can see snake anyway on the table of the temple. The snake were the poisonous Wagler's Pit Wipers.

Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow


This is the famous Char Koay Teow in Penang at Lorong Selamat. Although is expensive then other Char Koay Teow at Penang but still need to have a long Q. We wait for 45minit only got our turn. The price per plate is RM6.50. We willing to pay for the taste and extra large prawn will drive people attention. Don't try to place special request for the Char Koay Teow when you order with the auntie, she will ignore your request and you need to Q. This definitely the must food to eat when visit to Penang.

Another thing in this kompitiam is that customer must order the drink, if not each customer need to pay RM0.50 for like rent the table n chair for eating Char Koay Teow. Kompitiam boss really "money face". So please order drink when having Char Koay Teow.

Cendol at Lebuh Keng Kwee

After having Char Koay Teow at Lorong Selamat, we went to have a cendol at Lebuh Keng Kwee. The weather are hot so we found a cendol dessert to cool down. This cendol just a small stall beside road and always full of customer. It serve with ingredients of shaved ice, green cendol jelly, red bean, coconut milk and brown sugar. Not even serve customer with a comfortable place to sit, all just stand beside the stall and everybody hand with a small bowl of cendol.

Sea Pearl Lagoon Cafe at Tanjung Tokong

This place at Tanjung Tokong, next to the famous Tua Peh Kong Temple. It serve a lot of seafood. The restaurant just beside the beach. Beside it still place few small stall that sale with some deep fried seafood and satay. We ordered fried chicken and fried sotong. The main is salted prawn and BBQ crabs. Prawn are fresh and the minimum order is 1/2 KG. Heng chai is here so we ordered 1KG of salted prawn and 4 BBQ egg crabs. The nicest is crab crab, I like it.
