KIULAP BLUES...: PENANG STREETS....NOV 2006

My penang trip this November was exceptionally a great one. Supposedly one of onlyColonial fusion places of Malaysia where East meets West but in a more reverse style. By this, I mean that the old Colonialism Architecture of Penang has been much keep untouched and modernism has only crept the inside the these great old Colonial Buildings.
RESPECT THE OLD AND GUIDE THE CHILDREN WITH RESPECT TO CULTURE
I.E>>>>DON'T FORGET WHERE WE ALL CAME FROM

Let me take you fellow bloggers into my Penang experience.

One Tip my fellow bloggers. If any of you plan to go Penang.......Try the coach service which is only RM$50 one way. Check this out, My mom and Priscilla in the 4 hour coach to Penang

Turned out pretty fun with all the smiles and joy after I opened a bottle of a really good bottle of White Wine

Make sure u guys pay attention to some of the signs you get in Penang. Its definitely a Sign culture wherever you go.

Amazingly coloured with all religions and cultures. Check this out a Muslim nation with Mosques, Hindu Temples, Chinese Temples, Buddha Statues and all of them practising their beliefs openly and peacfully. UNITED NATIONS eat cha heart out.

Penang's First Hot Spot. Their famous Chendol is must try. Standing all around us are people from Singapore, Malaysians on holdiday from other states all queing to try this most famous chendol stall which has apparently been open for over 50 years.

Of course you have to try Penang's famous Hawker stalls at the start of GURNEY DRIVE. Food was not that great for me. I guess once you have tried so much hawker stalls in your life like me....they are all pretty much the same to me low quality at low prices ....can't expect too much when everything is cheap. Plus its all carbo and I like my meats...But the variety is awesome...Still in my mind a must see and must try just for the experience.

Hey Penang may look a bit dry and dusty during the day but wait till the clock strikes ten pm ....yes everything all of a sudden energises and comes alive..BARS...CLUBS..RESTAURANTS...BISTROS...you name it ..their all their
Yes, my kind of place at night.

Another advise is Penang's Taxi transport is quite costly for most tourist. They don't use meters but come out with excuses that its flat rates and they all work together with these rates , so there is really no use to haggle taxi prices. So be smart rent a car like us but beware the small cars you might end up renting. Its fun and its a holiday anyway so who cares. You get to travel anywhere you want all day and it only cost RM$120

Check out this nice cosy hotel we found in Batu Feringgi with an awwesome restaurant sitting next to a pool .. Great Scenery. Bring your cameras..

Check this out. Penang has Malaysia's 7th best restaurant in its arena. Fantastic place , looks so nice feels so great, inside ambience is class act and the food is gastronomically delightful.
