Ben Ben strikes..

Ben Ben was in town last week. Luckily he didn't paint the town red. Visit Penang must go makan-makan - especially Duck Egg Char Koay Teow, Penang Assam Laksa & Penang Chendol.

Ah Ben busy taking photo of the ho chiak Duck Egg Char Koay Teow in Sin Hwa Coffee Shop. I noticed itu budak loves "salty" stuff. Kkkkkk... Cos he added in extra soy sauce into the CKT. Besides CKT, we ate Penang Assam Laksa and Lemak Laksa (Siam Laksa) from the same shop but different stalls. I didn't take any food photo cos Ah Ben will post them up in his blog :P

After lunch we went jalan-jalan to Kek Lok Si Temple. The weather so hot, can die. We were so dehydrated and almost pengsan half way while walking uphill. Luckily no heat stroke. Really beh tahan. Felt much better after drinking the iced cold mineral water :P Ah Ben said my face was flushing red like tomato due to the intense heat & sweating.. LOL

Stopped by the famous "longkang assam laksa" in Air Itam Market for a bowl of Penang Assam Laksa. Yeah, both of us share one bowl cos we were still full from the previous makan session. Ah Ben was worried seeing the amount of chili cos he dun take hot & spicy foodstuff. Thanks to the refreshing iced coconut drink, we felt more energetic.

Next was a short trip around town (driving of course, no energy to walk liao) and we stopped by the esplanade for a short moment of Kodak Session before heading to Fort Cornwalis (to meet Sir Francis Light, don't play-play).

Dunno why this Ah Ben felt high-high tei. Instead of his ritual trademark io ka chng, he busy dancing on the street pulak. So artistic. *Faint*. I won't post photos of Fort Cornwalis (Hehehe, visit Ah Ben's coming post for the pict).

Following that, Ah Ben having a good time teasing and kacau-ing the black-black tei talkative bird. And the good thing was.. the bird answered him back. Hahhahaha

Prior to leaving the historical fort, we left our foot prints signature behind.. (Must act like tourists). Ahem.. Ah Ben with his cute little "Boing Boing".

Then we sapu the famous Penang Teochew Chendol (at Lebuh Keng Kwee off Penang Road). Phua Chu Kang & Rosie visited the stall too. Hehehhe.. Dropped by the old Chowrasta Market and the gigantic second hand bookstalls. Chowrasta Market is the place to buy Penang local foodstuff such as tau sar pneah, dodol, nutmegs, preserved fruits, belachan, durian cake etc etc. Ah Ben phobic seeing the number of flies savouring the preserved fruits.

Following that, we wanna try our luck- passing by Liucas' house hoping to see him, but too bad we didn't manage to meet up with him. I guess Liucas drove his Ferrari out somewhere, going kai kai. The final trip of the day was to meet the naughty cute and adorable Ah Boy. Kkkkkk....

Liucas is Penang Boy. Yeah, he is in Penang. I saw him yesterday morning. The forever white-white tei friendly little Maltese.

Chen said...

If I didn’t remember wrongly,
this is Ben Ben’s first visit to Penang. Yeah, he was here for few days. So more time to go around.
And more time to makan more food :P

The duck egg CKT stall close very early leh.. They tutup kedai at 4 sumthing in the evening liao. That’s why I didn’t bring u there.

Doreen said...

Ben is funny (^_^). Only been to Penang once when I was like 12 years old....couldn't remember how the food there tastes like anymore (-_-)

LX said...

Hey I didn't know Ah Boy is so small! He doesn't look that small in photos of his own.

Chen said...

doreen,
U can find hawker stalls and food court mushrooming in Penang. Only the better quality one will survive, since we have endless choices and selections here. One basically can find food every few hundred meters apart. Food is everywhere. No one will starve (cos cannot find food) unless no $$$ lah

The food here in Penang is different from the one available in Sarawak. I won't say which state has the best food since it's up to individual. Everyone has different preferences and different taste buds. One man's meat might be another man's poison :D

lynnx,
Hahaha.. u r not the only one who were cheated by the photo in the past. Remember? Photos can lie too. Ah Boy is very small in real life.
