My Penang Trip Part 2

Penang is a beautiful Island for vacation and a nice place to visit for makaning.But I realised now Penang food price are more expensive than KL foods especially the hawker stall at certain location.Beside that,taxi or cab doesn't run on meter,they just tell you how much they want from one place to another.So,most of the time I would take air condition bus to my destination.A public bus with AC just cost RM 1.00!!.
Look familiar??.Yes,that Penang Bridge!! .The bridge is under construction

Curry Laksa Stall at Air Item
Char Koay Teow at Air Itam
Look,the stall is very busy..we order few bowls of the laksa,quite good.I think Penang Curry Laksa are not really lemak like KL laksa
Kei Lok Si Pagoda ,a famous landmark and tourist destination but too bad the upper part is closed for renovation.
Stall selling Penang famous snack
Tau Sar Peah
Turtles in Kei Lok Si Temple
Turtles waiting for food...Mishu feeding them some watercrest
Look at all the turtles,rushing to get their food!!

Mishu posting at the bottom of the temple.The upper part of the temple was closed for renovation , they need to reduce the pagoda floor to lower because it's higher than the mosque


The view from Kei lok Si Temple
Mishu praying at the Greatest Buddha on the alter
Mishu is quite good when praying to Buddha,she even knee ,holding joss stick and chanting as well!!I'm surprised she love prayer
Mishu posting with General??..Maybe Tso!! lol!!The famous Chinese American dish!!
Joss stick are forbidden in the temple,I guess because of the smoke
Pineapple shape candle ...
Mishu keep saying her eyes hurt and in pain from the smoke
Air Item famous Assam Laksa,love it!! Look at the price!! cheap right??.
Each of us have a bowl of the spicy,fishy and sourly Assam Laksa !! A must place to eat!!
Apom Balik..
I like the crispy version of Apom Balik
Mishu having Ice Coffee at the hawker .We went back to India Market for breakfast
hmmmm...yummy!!

Mishu waiting for her food to arrive
It's really hot and humid
Kari Laksa with squid,cockles,shrimp and fried tauhu for RM 3.00
Fish Ball and Meat Keoy Teow Thng for RM 3.00
Char Keoy Teow with Chinese sausage,shrimp and cockles for RM 2.50...so far Indian Market "CKT" is the cheapest one!!.We ate "CKT" at Sunway Hotel hawker stall and the owner charge me RM 5.00!! Ouch!!that damn expensive!!.the portion is so small.Anyway,stay tune for more makaning and attraction photos!!.I really act like tourist,snapping photo all over and pushing Mishu in her stroller.I notice the local doesn't use stroller at all..All the children just walk with their both legs but not Mishu!!

What?? Had to lower the pagoda because it's taller than the mosque? That is ridiculous! Hopefully with the new government in Penang, they can stop this nonsense!

It really brings back the memory of feeding those turtles! If we get to go to Penang, I want to bring my girls to feed those turtles!

The laksa used to be 80 cents and now it's $2.50 and it's considered cheap, man.... The food in M'sia is seriously expensive!

sue:

wmw:
you're right,the portion is so small.In KL they charge RM5.00 but it's double the portion Penang stall sell.I think it's come out the same when we compare the $$$ and portion.

LCOM:
Yes,they were told to lower the pagaoda bcoz it's higher than the mosque if not they have to close it.I hope the new CM will fight for chinese right in Penang.Yes,you must bring your gals to feed the turtles,Mishu feed 2 bundle of kangkong still wanna more!!.These days Penang foods and etc are really expensive.A average hotel charge RM180 pernight!!KL hotel still have RM 60 pernight wt the same standard
