Our 1st family holiday since moving to KL (going hm to Singapore didn't count) started off with the 11am AirAsia flight to Penang. Flight was not only punctual, but we arrived 5 min early too.
Luckily for me, Sam fell asleep right before takeoff.
Unfortunately, my hubby fell asleep too, thus I was stuck with a sleeping toddler in my numbing right arm & no one to talk to. Couldn't even reach my bag at my feet for a drink! So spent the time taking pictures with my Sony Erisson K810i hp......
Reached the Gurney Resort Hotel at abt 1 pm & the whole family ended up napping.
So had a late 3pm lunch at the 'famous' Penang char quay teow stall. A long long wait for the dish......we polished off neoh heong & spring rolls in the meantime, Sam getting bored in the rattan baby high chair.
The char quay teow was a bit disappointing. Though delicious with large prawns, don't really understand what's the big deal abt it. Maybe cos we didn't end up in the right stall: there were 3 char quay teow stalls along the same stretch of road!
Wanted to go sightseeing after lunch, but the Blue Mansion was closed on the Hari Raya Haji holiday. So we ended up with the only option available to us at that hour & place: shopping at the Chocolate Boutique & the local products shop!
Back to the hotel by 5:30pm to shower, followed by a quick & short dinner downstairs at the Jap restaurant, then it's bedtime for Sam at 7 pm!
After he fell asleep, we were stuck with nothing to do as couldn't watch TV or switch on the lights, lest Sam wakes up.
So we chatted in whispers by the light of the bathroom while snacking on the local products bought earlier on. Poor hubby ended up having to read the map by the closet light to decide on the itenary:
I got so bored, I took out all our purchases from the Chocolate Boutique to commerate the unplanned expediture of RM$200 there:
Oh, the durian chocolates were great! Definitely worth the RM$35/box (9 pcs/box) price tag! In case anyone is interested, the brand is Beryls & take note to get the durian creme type, not the cheap durian flavouring type.
