When? 4 April 2011. Early in the morning around 9 a.m.
What's happening? Departure to George Town.
Who? A group of excited people, the nine of us :D
Took AirAsia flight again. The fare as low as RM19 for a round trip to Penang.
This is the second time we travel on flight together. And this trip happened coincidentally on our 1st relationship anniversary :)
Upon arrival at the Bayan Lepas Airport, we met our tour guide Henry Tan who is one of my E-friends and we know each other from our blog sites. Now I'm really get used to travel with my cyber friends since I had been doing this in my Kuching trip too. And we were brought to the nearest tourist attraction, that is the Snake Temple.
They are not some fake and crazy toy snakes. All the snakes in the temple are live!!!
So don't dare yourself to touch 'em!
Snakes are everywhere in the temple.
Spot the snake coiled on the branch?We also visited the Snake Farm which was just located beside the temple.
Harmless pet snake which you can touch it for luck.
This look like the one in Nokia snake game! ;D
The farm staff was cutting the monkey's finger nail.
Group pic at the entrance of Snake Temple.We had our lunch @New World Park, Burmah Road.
The food court was packed during lunch hour.
Fried chicken noodles. This combination is weird for me =/
Fish slice Pan Mee is ♥
Char koay teowIt's regret to say we didn't taste the best one in Penang :(
Prawn noodles a.k.a Har mee
Everyone gravitated towards the ice kacang in the scorching hot weather of Penang!
This is not the best asam laksa. You can find the best one @Penang Road.
After settled our growling tummies, it is time to check in to the hotel.
This time, we stayed at:
The room rate is RM90 (Double bedroom) & RM60 (Single bedroom & Twin room) for two night stay.It was quite a reasonable price.
Next station, the temples.
We dropped by the Reclining Buddha Temple (Wat Chayamangkalaram).
Damn long the temple name. Luckily I got the printed trip schedule from the tour guide :)
Also, we paid a visit to the temples opposite to Reclining Buddha Temple.
Thai Buddhist Temple 泰佛寺
Burmese Buddhist Temple 缅佛寺
Due to the unbearable burning hot sun, we decided to move to the next destination.
Famous Teo Chew Chendol @Penang Road.
I had read so many blog reviews about it before visiting to Penang.
We were lucky because the stall owner invited us to be seated at his air-conditioned shop,
so we wouldn't have to stand beside the stall to enjoy our food under the hot sun.
One of the main distinctive differences between Penang & Melaka chendol:
The former one will have lesser ice and palm sugar than the latter one.
Thumbs up for this asam laksa! The soup was thick and the flavour was just right!
I just had a sip of the soup only and I'm regret now for not ordering it for myself that day :(
For me, the taste of the shrimp paste in this rojak was too heavy.
After the tea break, we departed to Fort Cornwallis.
Bought the entrance ticket at RM2.
History pop quiz: Who is the founder of Fort Cornwallis?
Answer: Francis Light. Bet you don't know? Seriously, I don't know too until I google it :P
*Pretending*
The wind was so strong in the evening!
We had fun photo shooting session there.

This photo reminds me of 陈宝珠&萧芳芳 / 神探两个半. I don't even know who and what are them tho. Kuso la this pic!
Dinner time! We reached Sea Pearl Lagoon Café @Tanjung Tokong before the sky darkens.
It was located just beside the beach. You can enjoy the wind blow as well as the sea view at your satisfaction while dining there.
Si ham a.k.a the cockles
I don't likey especially half-boiled cockles!

Lala a.k.a the clams More likey because it was cleaner and tastier than si ham ;)
Crabs or craps? In fact this is the worst crab dishes I ever had. It's like almost tasteless without the chili sauce and if you're careless, you might be eating the crab's air sac. Wuekkkk! Well maybe it could be better w/o the air sac =X
All time favourite, the fried chicken wing! 
Satayyyy
