We just came back from our holiday in Penang. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights and we stayed at Holiday Inn Resort, Batu Ferringhi, Penang. It is a lovely hotel and it is great for families. The weather was not very bad during our stay though it was gloomy on the day that we arrived and followed by some rain after dinner. The next day was gloomy with light showers too but overall the weather held up pretty well. Here are some photos we took during our holiday. Will be posting more later on what we did and where we went.
We drove to Penang via the new bridge. It is a lot longer than the old bridge and quite scenic.
We had lunch at Kek Seng Coffeeshop on Penang Road, upon recommendation by my mother-in-law. This coffeeshop has been around since 1906.
The durian ice-cream is indeed delicious and tasty.
Ice-kacang with ice-cream soda. Kek Seng is famous for these. I read that their Hainan Chicken rice is also famous but we didn’t like that the chicken dish was filled with black sauce. Even the kids didn’t enjoy it. The pai tee weren’t good either. The only food we enjoyed were the lor bak and char koay teow. We didn’t try the assam laksa though we read that it is not too bad.
After our lunch, we walked around the lanes behind Penang Road and chanced upon these lovely prewar shophouses. I love the colours and the old tiles.
This shophouse is now a construction company. Love the door with the intricate designs.
Stay tuned for more on our Penang holiday.
