Penang Trip

01/05/09 - 03/05/09

- Part 1 -

it was my second trip to Penang this year... went there end of March for Qing Ming festival... this time i went there with my Dear and his mum and sister to attend his cousin's wedding dinner... we left KL around 10-ish, and reached Penang around 2pm !! the traffic was quite bad and congested at some stretch of the PLUS highway... it was unavoidable cos it was a public holiday... everyone also wanna "BALIK KAMPUNG" !!

we've decided to stay at Tune Hotel for this trip... it was launched on 1st of April 2009... and it was still a very new hotel in Penang... two nights stay costs us RM150++... not so budgetted, right ?? we've added on a "12 hours" aircond for our stay... hahaaa...

the hotel standing tall....

checking-in... a simple reception table at the lobby....

waiting lounge and some desktops for net surfing...

the walkway at the hotel...


and....


tadaaaa.....


we've entered a very small room with a comfy King Koil bed.... it's really so small, just half the size of the standard room in First World Hotel in Genting... didnt expect it to be that SMALL !! very limited space for walking... just nice for 2 persons....

high technology !! see the "Aircon: OFF" ??? it's the timer of the aircond that we're using... everytime we switch it on, it will deduct 5 mins from the total hours and minutes available... and, we didnt add-on the hairdryer... if not mistaken, it cost RM1 for the entire stay...


the toilet was quite clean... i think cos it's still very new... hahaa...

a nice full length mirror...

for us to camwhore !!

after resting for a while, we went to the New World Park next door.... it's not really a park with grass, playground and so on... it's something like Jaya One at Petaling Jaya.... we walked around and had some light food there....

mini playground ??

the naughty boy joined me....

there's one food court inside the park...

we had some Loh Bak and ice kacang....

Bin and his mum...

next, we went for some shopping at Prangin Mall.... we walked till the sky turned dark... and, it was dinner time again.... a late dinner for me cos it was already 9pm !! we had Curry Fish Head at Gurney Drive...

Restaurant 77 @ Gurney Drive... the food was quite OK especially the Curry Fish Head... the signature dishes there... according to a waitress there, they had been there for 25 years...

after our heavy dinner, we went for some walk at Batu Ferringhi.... it was something like a pasar malam... but selling all kind of stuff such as fake branded stuff, souvenirs, clothes and so on...

a pic of us to end this post...
