One of my favourite places - Penang

The first time I went Penang, I took a bus. It was a long long long journey there. I was glad that subsequently budget airlines fly Penang and then I became a frequent visitor to Penang, well, at least for recent years.

I have already visited those tourist spots that interest me but I kept going back to Penang because I just love the streets, the food, the cafes that I can explore! Even accomodation I will try to explore different options! haha.

This time round in June, we chose Syok@Chulia, I believed this is a relatively new hostel because I don't remember seeing this hostel when I was there in Penang last year, some more the location of the hostel is so prominent - Chulia Street. Well, maybe I really missed it. Anyway, I read good reviews on the hostel and I decided to stay there this time round! Booked a private twin room for 3 nights and it costs RM171~ The room is small but clean, good enough for me!



The lobby area! But what I love was the lounge - big and cozy!

We realised alot of the cafes we previously went were all around the hostel. We re-visited 42 La Boheme for some tarts. 




And the baby has grew up! There is even an addition to the family! The little kitty!



We tried apple tart and Caramelised Walnut tart. Personally I liked the walnut tart, though it was caramelised, it was not too sweet. Each costs about RM7-8.

We had a dim sum breakfast at this coffeeshop and I love the service staff who are all grannies! They are so friendly and chirpy! It just brightens up my morning!



Lian Rong Bao with pee-ka-poo! salted egg yolk!


I love the century egg porridge with the crackers.

Ok, besides all the yummy food in Penang, I love the streets of Georgetown. =) All those arty paintings on the walls just made this whole place so much more beautiful. 



Don't disturb the birds! lol.

I think I wanna organise some sort of a Penang tour,  I just wanna introduce this place that I love to everyone I know! hee. 

In Penang, all I need is a good book, and an empty stomach, I can spend many days there. 

Purposeful Traveller - I will return, that's for sure
