Penang Malaysia - Bye Bye Penang

The last day in Penang, we are ready to depart Penang. We took Bus no. 101 to komtar and change to Bus no. 401E to the airport about 45 minutes ride to airport. Everything runs smoothly during our trip to Penang.

We only spend about S$500 on air ticket (Jetstar) and hotel accomodation (Cititel Hotel) for the two of us (i.e. each of us spend around S$250). Food is rather cheap if you dine in their coffee shop/eating houses or hawker centres. Am sure if you google for more information, you can get either 5 star hotels or cheaper hotels or backpack travellers hotels to suit your personal taste. I always opt for four star hotel if possible.

At Penang domestic airport.

View of Penang from the plane.

So it is bye bye Penang and time to google and do some homework to prepare my next trip. Still not sure where I want to go next...lol But would prefer those free and easy type, no need to wait for fellow passengers or follow instructions in package type of tour.

Saw a shop along the street just behind the wet market (Chowrasta), it was selling mostly baking products and moulds. Ask the shopowner for permission to take photo of her shop and she agreed readily.

I was so happy that I found the moon cake agar agar mould in the shop in Penang. I cant find them in Singapore, have been finding for this mould for a long time.

They were sold at RM10.00 for three. There were other types of moulds too but I did not get them cause I got so many moulds at home already...lol. Now I am regretting it.

Not advertising for her but just in case readers happen to be in Penang and wanted to know where the shop is, the street and shop is just behind (not inside) the wet market (i.e. Chowrasta).

Final part on my posting on the market scene. Saw a very interesting scene. The chicken stall owner wearing a cowboy hat. He sure attracted a lot of customers to his stall.

A lone man selling some shell fishes, I guess he just caught from the sea.

My favourite dough fritters but wondered if the oil is recycled many times. At home I recycled my cooking oil once only and tried not to cook too much deep frying dishes that uses a lot of oil.

Wow the sandals and shoes are really very cheap.

Stall selling all sort of titbits, hahaha my favourite titbits.

Wow saw these jackfruits (correct if I am wrong in the name), they are really huge.

Very interesting to see the market scene. It looked just like what Singapore markets used to be when I was younger. Love seeing people bargaining the prices. Seems like I am the only one there that morning taking photos of the scene...lol

In Singapore, scene like these are hard to come by, our pork had to be sold in chillers for hygiene purposes since the pig flu that happened many many years ago.

A shop selling wantan noodle. It seems like they like to cook outside the shop, a familar scene that I saw in many coffee shops in Penang. I guess they want to attract customers to their stall.

Our last day in Penang, after breakfast we spend the morning walking around the streets behind the wet market near our hotel.

The wet market is Chowrasta where most buses will pass by. Take note of the bus stop infront of the market.

We did not go inside the market cause it was rather wet so we just walked behind the market where the street is full of morning activities of people doing their marketing.

There are many different types of stalls in here selling all types of food and produces.

The stall selling roast meat fascinated me.

The woman was selling bakkwa or what we called them BBQ dried meat.

From where I am standing, the street behind the wet market (Chowrasta), I can see the tall building in the background i.e. Komtar. Actually from the hotel where I stay, I can walked to komtar in about 15 to 20 minutes but if you take bus it is only two bus stop away from the hotel or one bus stop away from the wet market.

More photos tomorrow on the market scene.

Some of the buildings I saw along Jalan Penang near the hotel where I stay.

Am surprised to find the Cantonese District Association in a lane which I think is called Lebuh Chulia. There are a lot of small budget hotels in this lane.

Not much description in here cause I cannot remember where I take these photos in Penang...lol Defintely is in Georgetown area.

Penang Malaysia-Street Scenes

Some of the street scenes of street hawkers that I came across during my visit to Penang.

You can always purchased from these hawkers and eat at the coffee shop/eating house behind the hawker. Chances are that you will purchase drinks from the coffeeshop/eating house.

This nasi kandar store near the hotel where I stay is very famous. But I did not tried their food cause I dont really like smell of the strong mutton in there. I dont take mutton.

All these street hawkers reminded me of the street hawkers in Singapore during my childhood. You cant find anymore street hawkers in Singapore, most are housed in hawker centre due to hygiene purposes.
