Drove up to Penang on Friday night (18 Aug) with Connie (Ad Di's gf). Had 3 stops and the journey took about 4 hours. Considering the distance between Penang and KL is about 320km, a good record for me (with 3 pitstops).
Arrived in Vistana about 11pm and felt dead tired. Went for lok-lok near USM. Claimed to be good stuff and cheap price. Yeap, it was cheap but the food was so so only. Lots of students had late supper there.
The next morning we had breakfast with Joshua. Went to nearby hawker center (SS2 look-alike) called Super Tanker. Tried the so-called famous char kuey teow. Disappointing though. Tried another stuff - chee cheong fun. Disaster...... Maybe we went to wrong place. I remember I had a good char kuey teow few years back in Georgetown. Seems like the quality of food is no more in Penang?
After breakfast, went to USM to attend Ah Di's convocation. Self appointed to be official photographer for the graduate. Snapped some photos. Hehehe....
Noon time, lunch in nearby restaurant (just opposite USM, Sg Dua). Had chicken rice. Again the food was so so only. Double disappointment.
It was afternoon, and there was no plan for us. So we (SY and parents and myself) went back to KL.
After 2 hours drive, detoured to Kampar for chicken bread. Thought of going to the famous shop. By the time we arrived, they were closing. So we went to their competitor. The chicken bread was uncomparable to the previous maker.
Had little shopping in one of the biscuit shops (chicken biscuit etc). Guess what, Ang Lee was there last month. The shop owner even took photo with the director. So proud. And he will start his filming in Ipoh and Kampar next month. So the folks in these two towns will see him more. I guess more shop owners will try to snap a photo with him.
Then we met LF in her phamarcy. Good to see her. Still looking good and healthy.
It was getting late, so we headed back to PJ (about 7pm). Reached home around 9pm. What a day!
