Ipoh – Penang – Ipoh trip (10.10.09 – 12.10.09) Part 3

this will be the final part of my trip to Penang. couldn’t believed that it took me almost a month to post this crap…

as usual, the final part would be the most boring part as there will be less pictures coz at the end of the trip, we were already exhausted. not to mentioned there were quite a number of disappointments too. read on…

by the time you read part 3, you would have noticed we had missed out two important food that i should’ve tried.

yes, i had missed out Hokkien mee (or prawn mee) and Loh Bak.

not that i missed it intentionally, but due to lots of reasons (ie, not knowing which is the best place, closed shop, too full, etc etc), we did not have the chance to had the best Hokkien ,mee/Loh Bak.

but we did tried the lousiest Hokien mee in Gurney though… haha!

something that is not related to the food here…

do you know what’s this?

for the uninitiated, there used to be electric tram services in the island. but i guess it has been discontinued long ago.

left for Ipoh after having our breakfast after that. and so, it’s time to say good bye…

to Komtar. although i don’t really missed it

to the iconic Penang Bridge…

i loved this photo the most. cropped some of the ugly sides and made in Black & White.

there are to missions to be done once we are in Ipoh.

the 1st one – to have dinner at our favourite Chicken Rice shop, Lou Wong.

we failed miserably…

we never failed at going the shop whenever we were at Ipoh. but that day, we were lost!!! i couldn’t believed that we had been going round and round for almost and hour.

only to find the shop was closed on that day…

ended eating at the shop beside it. tasted ok, but not as smooth and portion a bit small. really felt disappointed.

and oh, i should’ve posted this on the 1st part. do you know how do i get the directions places of good food in Penang although we’ve never drive there before?

two things : Google Map & PSP.

by incorporating these two, i’ve managed to created an Al-Cheapo version of PSP. or more like a map. and the result? voila!!!

it served us quite well except where there’s a few occasion where the map were not updated. causing a great trouble for us and making us go round and round…

i guess it’s time to get a REAL GPS then. haha!

ok. back to the 2nd mission in Ipoh – Go to Kellie’s Castle.

which we failed miserably too…

he time wasted earlier had sapped most of our energy. so we decided to give it a miss.

BUT, we will definitely go there again next time!!! mark my words.

and off to home we go. but not without posting this:

yes… it rained for 3 consecutive days. have to drive real slow…
