Solo Travel Part 6 - Penang (Day 1)

I'm finally back from my trip!! Sorry for the delay in updates. I didn't have the internet access & I was busy with job applications! Anyway, here's more on my solo trip for all my readers out there ;) Enjoy!

**********
Penang, Malaysia's "land of good food up north"!

I felt that I did more than I have expected myself to do during the short trip up here. Firstly, I had a good catch up with my best friend, GN, who happened to be here to visit her sister. Then, I also had a much-awaited catch up with my high school friend, KK 'til the wee hours of the morning. I had lovely food & not-so-lovely food as well...and the bonus, I met up with a great bunch of Penang food bloggers for a restaurant review! *fwah* Syiok ar!

Yam Cake at New World Park

This was my 1st meal. I followed 2 friends up north as they had to be in Penang for a function. Since they stayed at Tune Hotel, I thought some yummy yam cake would start-off my eating adventure in Penang!

The Yam Cake Stall

Yam Cake @ New World Park (RM1.00/piece)

What's so good about this yam cake is basically the toppings. I've had better yam cakes back here in PJ, specifically Subang SS19 :P The fried dried shrimps + fried shallots generously topped onto the yam cake makes the yam cake extra fragrant :) Try it & you'll know what I mean. I won't say that this is the best yam cake, but it is pretty good!

Note: Beside Tune Hotel, Penang

I basically didn't do much on my 1st day in Penang. KK brought me over to Sunset Bistro to catch the sunset in the evening. He knew I'm quite a fan of such natural beauty, so lazing at the beach with some drinks & a pizza sure suits well for a relaxing holiday!

Sunset Bistro @ Batu Ferringhi

As its name speaks, this is a place for some drinks & snacks. They have a small variety of western food too...

Soaking in the sun...or what's left of it...

Mojito & Sunset Delight Pizza (RM11.90/pizza)

I'm not a great fan of Mojito, but since KK ordered for me, I just gulped it down slowly...the pizza's nothing to shout about. Not the best, for sure!

Thus concludes my 1st day in Penang...no doubts, more food to come! It's Penang wei...
