This place is very popular with the street arts which we can see it along the way but since it is midnight we did not take a picture over there , because the light does not really like us , hahaha just kidding. Actually the picture that come out was teribble so we decided not to put that picture here in our beautiful journey. hahahahha

The variety of food that offered here in Padang Kota

Pasembor that you will definitely regret if you do not try one

Okay so we continue with our journey with food hunting in Padang Kota. This place is very alive at night since there are so many people loves to hanging out here either with family or friends. From here you can see the view of the sea with many types of ships. One of the ship is Libra star cruise which is one of the most popular cruises ship in Asia. Since we cannot afford to get into that cruise ship , let’s just enjoy the view while having the tempting Pasembor accompanied with ‘Sotong Kangkung’ and not to forget the delicious street food that locals called it 'cucuk-cucuk' . It is actually nugget and hotdog . The name of that 'cucuk-cuck' is kind of cute though. Hehehehehe

Since we decided to stop by at Padang Kota Lama , we also come over to see the Transformers exhibition which it is actually the famed sci-fi action Transformers duo and it is stationed on a specially enhanced platform at the promenade from July 10 to Sept 17. There are so many people that take the opportunities especially Transformer fans come to take photos and there is no charge at all . Said the Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng the outdoor Transformers exhibition would be the first to be held in Southeast Asia. It is supported by Penang Global Tourism and Penang Island City Council and it is held in conjunction with ‘Visit Penang 2015’ and the month-long of Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration. So here are the picture that we got from there ,

So this is the right time to gather all the family members and friends especially children to the event and be amazed by the gigantic display of these Autobots. So since we are already here we decided to take some pictures because during the night there is a laser light and sound effects for the autobots. This autobots will be available for viewing from noon to midnight, Monday to Friday, and 9am to midnight on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

Street massage!!! For those who wants to rejuvenate after a long tiring working day. If you come here, don't miss out to try this and plus it's quite cheap and for sure worth your money.

ABU MAMAK HERE WE COME !

Be ready for a........

SERIOUS FOOD HUNTING SESSION

here in ABU .

Being a penangnite, we have to dine out during odd hours countless time at various Mamak stalls here. It is such shameful if you are a Penangite but you are not aware there is such a decent mamak restaurant located at Lorong Macalister -Restaurant KSB Cahaya or some local people called it as Mee Abu or Abu Mamak Stall.It was never too late as I organized my stomach with a less calories dinner so I will be yearning for supper later.

Most favorable food here in Abu Mamak , Maggi Goreng

Our favourite in mamak stall always had been Maggi Goreng.You could either pick Maggi Goreng Ayam (RM5.70) or Maggi Goreng Biasa (RM4.00). Frankly speaking, the fried chicken is not that great and I suggest you could give it a skip but i would say the Maggi goreng is awesome and definitely suit my taste well. Topped with a sunny side up, the maggi goreng has a little spicy and tingling sensation and this is call for the differentiation with others.

Paying ? you can use the typical ways "Ah Neh Kira" that means you want to pay the bill . The person incharge will come to your table and started to count each foods that you ate in a very fun way . The most interesting part is , he will count the total without using any calculator even if you come about 50 or 60 people. Amazing isn’t it?

Roti Hong Kong for those who never been to Hong Kong .hahahahaha

I was attracted by the name Roti Hong Kong (RM5.00).It is appears to be something similar to a Western style breakfast then. Pieces of toast and hotdog topped with chili sauce, mayonnaise , half melted cheese and an egg concealed in the condiment offering little surprises as compared to its name.

Roti Argentina for Argentina Supportters ! hehehe

Restaurant KSB Cahaya also offer an extensive ranges of roti canai with a very interesting names which represent their identity such as Roti Abu , Roti Hong Kong , Roti Chelsea , Roti Holland , Roti Christmas and others which I could not recall. But one of the most famous roti is Roti Abu (RM6.00). It is something like murtabak , well grilled with chicken slices stuffed in between the thin floor bed. Topped with mayonnaise and some raisins. It is unlikely you will find this anywhere else in Malaysia.

'Milo Dinasour' is a must try drinks or you will regret it later

Since we have already had the so-called-main-dishes, our journey could not be completed without having their Milo Dinosaur (RM2.70) and Horlicks Dinosaur (RM2.70) . Dinosaur literally means an exorbitant amount of the drink powder is being used to topped the drink, rendering the drink possess strong smell of both Milo and Horlick as your pick.

Behind the Silent Night in Batu Feringghi

The Ship Restaurant is a theme restaurant in Batu Feringghi. The architecture of the building is very unique. This unique exterior of its restaurant resemble an almost life-size hull of a ship, and on stepping inside, you will be impressed will the finely recreated likeness o a sea-going vessel. The price of the food that they serve in here is quite pricey but I must say that this is just an average restaurant. The taste and the quality of service that they deliver here is just really normal.

Along the way, we have found something that catch our eyesight. It is a bicycle that have been decorated with beautiful lights and flowers. Some decorated this bicycle with a cute little fan and they added a great feature which is a music at this bicycle and this bicycle is actually called a trishaw. Some local at Penang Island use trishaw to bring tourist around the Penang as their main job.

One of the local people that we have interviewed here during our great journey. Introducing you.... Musa with 20 years of experience riding this trishaw.

Oooh my goodie!! This is such an exquisite trishaw ever. Who would ever thought to decorate it with Hello Kitty?? Aww.. I'm melting..
