Penang Holiday

I've been to Penang numerous times for my training but it has been quite a while since I went to the beaches. The last time I went to the beaches was way before the tsunami.

So, for a short holiday trip with hubby, I suggested we go to Ferringhi. Finding a hotel was quite a challenge since it was a last minute arrangement considering the school holiday and end of the year holiday trips for many people. It was even reported in the newspaper that many tourists decided to come to Penang due to uncertain condition in our neighboring country up north.

I was quite surprise when we received online confirmation of our hotel booking. I almost didn't believe it but I'm very thankful. I hope I can do all the nice things I did during my holidays here before. Now I can share those memories with hubby :)

It was quite unfortunate the weather was cloudy so no nice sunset. Nevertheless, the view is still amazing.

Hubby and me :)

Look at what we saw on the rocks. There were about four of them playing around the rocks quite far from the beach so I couldn't take a better picture.

The mouth-watering deep fried ice-cream. Yummyyy... I first tasted it with my friend Ton last time. We like it so much. I SMSed her about having the ice-cream with hubby. She envied me :)

It's a looonnnggg way up. I didn't remember it was this long.

The view is worth it. The last time I came, it was quite hazy.

There are many biggg... spiders on big webs up on the Penang Hill. I didn't remember this either. So I had many new experience too.

I can't share everything I've done and eat with hubby due to the limited time so there will definitely be a next trip. Hubby has deep fried ice cream in his mind for a few days after. The same thing Ton and I experienced :) I've googled for the recipe but they're not convincing enough. Anyway, I'd give it a try one of these days. The worst thing that could happen is a melting ice cream in a hot oil.

Till next time... Salam Ma'al Hijrah
