this trip to penang was all sponsored by miss a (flight ticket and hotel). she redeemed flight ticket from celcom (reward) or something like that, huhu.. if not mistaken, we took the 7.45am flight and arrived at penang airport at 8.55am. we rented a car (viva) and our first stop was
roti bakar hutton lane. we must first fill our stomach before beginning our adventure in penang. after breakfast, we checked in to our hotel, hotel malaysia georgetown. then, we joined
the blue mansion tour (the mansion is right behing our hotel). the mansion is also known as
cheong fatt tze mansion and had been setting for many films, the most famous and recent is
crazy rich asian. we were lucky to have the owner of the mansion as our guide.

after the tour, we had lunch at
hameed pata mee sotong. seriously, most of our itinerary for this trip is
makan, so this trip is really a JJCM (
jalan jalan cari makan) trip.our next stop is none other than
bukit bendera. unfortunately, it was raining and we couldn't enjoy the view but we did enjoy the
bingsoo worth ice, haha.. we then returned to our hotel and prepare ourselves for dinner at
pak mat western (see, it's all about FOOD). to get there, we had to cross penang bridge (around 30 - 40 min drive depending on the traffic) and for it is located at bukit mertajam. the food was amazing. the portion is generous for the the price we paid.

| ermm, honestly the taste is just mild.. |

today, we spent the whole day at
escape park! we first spent the time at adventure park and then the waterpark. the passes were for multiple entries using our finger print. as usual, my finger were hard to detect and miss a had to scan her finger twice just to let me in and out. overall, it was worth the money. our body was sore afterward, doing all those activities. and until today, i still couldn't believe that i tried the
banana flip!!! one of the requirement is you must be a strong swimmer. i never see myself as a strong swimmer, i barely float! but the boy there and miss a had me convinced. the pool depth is 5m!!! by the time we left, it was already 6pm. we bought some
jeruk madu pak ali on the way back to the hotel. we had
nasi kandar line clear for dinner (within walking distance from the hotel).

on our last day, we went to the
asia comic cultural museum. there were only a few people around. what i love about the museum is you could collect stamps from different regions. the museum lay out is according to the origin country of the comic. once you collected all the stamps, you'll receive a postcard. along the way, we fed ourselves with
penang road famous cendol, ghani famous rojak/pasembur and
bubble tea. since we still got plenty of time before our flight back, we decided to visit the
war museum. overall, this trip is 80% eating and 20% exploring, hehe...
