My Penang 4 days itinerary- Day 4

We had only half day in Penang before we left to Ipoh. 
I got so tanned, muscle pain and bruises after activities yesterday. 
Breakfast was yam rice and super delicious portuguese tart !





St Ann. Church is so beautiful.





Cendol and coconut water at the roadside in front of St Ann. Church, operation starts at 11am.




We were finally heading to Ipoh for another food hunting trip! ;DDD


My Penang 4 days itinerary- Day 3

Breakfast was at 七条路hawker center. Thank Huisan for bringing us there, thank you for your time and the delicious breakfast. Feeling extra grateful when you're away from home and your friends are showing some love yooo. ;p



the famous duck mea koay teow



prawn noodles


porridge




We allocated a day for escape park while we were in Penang. We bought our ticket online in advance so it is cheaper than walk in price. I am not a very sporty kinda person but it seems like a must go and must do in Penang. I would say it is perfect for a group of friends and family to join as it really helps to build stronger bonds. There was a big group of coworkers having some activities while we were there. I would not encourage to bring children below 12 years old because activities for them would be very limited. Thank God it was not so sunny in the afternoon. 

Tried the bungy jump and something like holding a rope to swing in the air. I would say that it is more challenging than bungy jump to me. Flying fox is fun! The 3 levels game is very exhausting. The food and drinks are very expensive. A meal with rice, vegetable & meat costs around RM13. Chicken chop was around RM19. I expected the quantity & quality go with the high prices but it didn't seems to hold up to my expectation. HAHA. There are games to join at 3pm onwards. 








Batu Ferringhi 








Strait Clark, you're advised to go at night to see the beautiful boats and port.




Took the ferry to Butterworth 









Thank you, HL & TW for being our tour guide when we were in Penang. You guys have such a good taste for food! love all the food recommended especially the Assam laksa!
