hello gorgeous people!! i know it's been a long time and i miss being on this blog but i have a super title this time and it's about my birthday trip with my family to Penang!! this trip was to celebrate mine and my dad's birthday and it was such a nice trip!
We stayed at Mansion One Hotel and it was a pretty decent hotel except for the registration counters. we booked a studio suite and it was pretty fancy with a kitchenette, a dinning table, a tv section and two queen beds. it was nice but i do wanna comment on their disorganized check in and check out systems. they only had two staff behind counters and they kept disappearing to find their own missing staff. check in at 3 took us an hours wait and the line of people waiting to check it was a long line through a stuffy corridor.

The first night there we had dinner at a food court somewhere along tanjung bungah and it was a big one. it's called Viva and there we had our first serving of char kuey teow, fried oyesters and fish ball soup. sissy then saw this stall selling special apom and we liked it. it was apom with egg, coconut and brown sugar all together. it was super.
then we went to this fancy, container, night market. it was called CUBOPARK and it was just so-so, just overpriced hipster food.

The next day we went back to tanjung bungah for breakfast and i had the nicest bowl of fish bowl soup at a corner coffee shop that was across a super busy market. the breakfast was a good one to get us going for our beach adventure after that. parking in batu ferringhi is a nighmare but we found this private parking spot and for five bucks we were all set for our big beach trip.

That evening i met up with a friend for tea and he took me to this cafe called China House and we had really good cake and coffee in the most adorable cafe ever. it was classy, with a small art gallery going on up on the second floor. we then walked around the congested, touristy area around the cafe and i had this cute pic with some art and murals.

For me and dad's birthday dinner, we had reservations at The Wine Shop, this classy place in Tanjung bungah. it was the most classy diner ever!! they had wine bottles stacked floor to ceiling and they even had those sliding ladders you see in grand libraries. the menu was impressive and i liked that they had little prawn crackers to nibble on while you drank.
