My Nearly Illegal Parking In Penang

Wake up Sleepy Jeans... and for this case, wake up SONS!

It was a bright cheery Sunday morning in Penang when I finally got up to open the curtains in our hotel room...  We are used to staying in Royal Hotel along Anson Road and for 2015, the room rates has indeed increased.  The last time we stayed was in November, it was RM180 then.. but last week, it has gone up to around RM210... hhmmmm..
 The scenery from our hotel window... 
Bright skies looming above the island...
Time for our breakfast....
But we didn't settle for the hotel buffet...
We set out for hawker delights instead...
While waiting for our Koay Teow Th'ng to arrive, we had these as starters..!

Koay Teow Th'ng off Carnavon Street.... 
Our usual place... it was crowded..
Didn't mind waiting for awhile...
"Mom, I think I have to order another bowl.... "
And we did.... actually...
Oh dear... 
these were only what was left when I realized that I didn't take any pictures... 
After our so-called breakfast, we walked a short distance to look for this "auntie:"

My kids love her mini egg tarts....
We bought two packets of 10's... RM5 for each packet...
There were other snacks...
But the mini egg tarts were just what we needed then...
Next... we came by here... for sight seeing...
We thought we got a nice parking at the side of this building...
but were "deterred" .....
We were told to reverse our car out...
And we obediently did....
But all was good after reversing...
We managed to get a parking just across the road...
In the end... All well ends well...

    Gee! Everyone's blogging about these egg tarts:
    http://www.submerryn.com/2015/01/mini-egg-tarts-at-carnavon-street-penang.html
    Can't say I like the look...but of course, can't judge by appearance. Must taste, then one will know good or not good. The kway teow th'ng sure looks good, that I would say.

      My kids like the mini ones... maybe easy to pop into their mouth and can eat many at one go...

    Hmm. Same place with where Merryn got her mini tarts??

    Nice breakfast and sight seeing although need to park a bit and walk. I prefer have breakfast in hawkers' stalls than in hotel. Can taste the local food.

    The view from your hotel room is so lovely! I like the blue pulut. Does your son read your blog? I guess he would be laughing when he read your caption for his photo - want another bowl, hehehehe!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
