After one month of hectic and stressful reality TV show shooting in Penang Island, it was a WRAP and it was a one day holiday well-spent the next. Booked a room at Old Penang Guesthouse and rented a Kelissa, it was time for some sun, sea, sand and food!
First stop was Ferringhi Beach. We parked the car at a parking lot beside Lone Pine Hotel and took a walk by the beach from one end to the other. We wanted to Parasail but unlucky for us, it was out of operations for the time being after the accident few months back. So, we spent the afternoon walking on the beach and soaking in the sea.
It was almost sunset that we walked into Lone Pine Hotel's Bungalow Cafe to have our favourite Beef Burger (I tried the Kid's Meal Beef Burger during shoot once and I loved it!). So we ordered one plate of the burger and enjoyed every bite of it~ *yumz*
And of course, that wasn't enough. We booked a table at Hai Nan Town Restaurant at Weld Quay for Penang Nyonya food. We made it in time before the kitchen closes at 9.30pm and it was a surprise for us that we had fireworks display right after dinner. We drove around Penang City (trying to finish the petrol we pumped) and ended up in a jam at Gurney Drive. We were so lucky to get a parking spot just in front of Gurney Plaza and paid 50cents for it. We had a walk down Gurney Drive and later, I went to tapau'ed my favourite Apom!
The night ended...
The next day was another adventure. First stop was the Chocolate Boutique where we tried almost every chocolate and coffee there are in the shop. Second stop was the Pinang Peranakan House. We paid RM10 each to have a self-tour in the mansion. Third stop was the Protestants Cemetary after the sudden rain we had a while before.
We returned the car that afternoon and waited for our bus back to KL that evening. Though it was just a one extra night stay in Penang, it was FUN! Finally, after one month on shoot on the island, we managed to go sight-seeing and had good food as well!
