Of Penang foods

Over the weekend, we went up to Penang to attend a friend's wedding. Stayed one night in Prai. Then the next day crossed over to the island to savour the local delicacy. Of course in the eating list were Char Kuey Teow and/or Asam Laksa. Unfortunately, the Char Kuey Teow in Ayer Itam was rated average only.

Our local tour friend then brought us for Asam Laksa, with fish meat in Farlim's developed shop area. Rating: below average.
Next we sampled the hawker food in Jalan Macalister. Section 17's "Ample drink" is way much better. Another disappointment.

Before we left the island, we stopped for cendol somewhere near the Komtar. That was ok; the taste was similar with the one in Melaka. Finally, our friends had prawn noodle. By that time, SY and I were full. According to our friends, the taste was somehow not as good as their previous visit.


There's nothing to hype about the food. Probably I will give a credit for the wedding dinner on the first two dishes.

No food photos were taken as it was not desiring for photography.

The wedding of ....

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
