New extension of Kek Lok Si temple (we were sitting in the middle of the fish pond, overlooking to the constructing gigantic Golden Statue of Kuan Yin)

It is always my favourite place and  I think I been to Kek Lok Si each time I visit Penang. But this round, climbing up is indeed very very tiring for me. Probably due to aging and I have lost my stamina unlike my younger days. Furthermore, there were 3 kids to be taken care of.

FYI, the boys are no longer wearing diapers as they are uncomfortable with wetness. They only clad in cotton shorts so we have to make sure that they go to the loo every hour. We also bring along a potty in the car and a big bag of pants for change (in case accident happens).

Hubby and my brother went down again to drive up the car when we realised that now cars are allowed to be drive on top of the hill. We then drove further up to their new extension as all of us were too tired to walk anymore.

At Him Heang, to get the tambum biscuits

Next we stopped at Him Heang to get the most famous Tau Sar Pneah. The crowd was so long, and we were told to wait for 25 mins for the biscuits to be packed (see the crowd queuing towards the kitchen?) We just placed order and then decided to come back to pick up the next day.

After eating nearby, we went back to the hotel again, for water play. Surely a must if stay at Gurney Hotel coz it was so fun. Check out who came over to our hotel to visit us

Later in the evening, Cynthia came over to brought us to the best stall in Penang that serves delicious porridge. So good compare to those hawker stalls food that we had at New Lane on our first night.

Chu Chap Chook (Porridge with lots of inner parts)

Prawn Vermicelli

Is this place familiar to you? I was trying to find the signboard of this place but see none. Then I google and found out that place is called Joo Leong Cafe, situated at Sg.Tiram (correction: Perak Lane, Jelutong, thanks to Ming Hooi for pointing out).

How to go into this place: This wooden stall is actually back facing the main road so we need to turn into a small housing road, then park at the small place beside some wooden kampong house.

Thai fried oyster

Besides good porridge, we tasted the best Fried Oyster too (called as Thai Fried Oyster), from another a small stall attached to the porridge stall. It taste a little bit different from the normal oyster we have and the oysters are huge!

If I remembered correctly, this is called 3 Taste Tauhu Bakar or something like that. Also prepared by the same stall selling the Fried Oyster.  Hubby loves this!

We had also Peanut soup served with Yau Char Kuai, sold by another small stall here. Too bad my battery is very low and I did not take much picture from here. Thanks to Cynthia and Joe for this sumptous dinner treat. Still waiting for picture from Cynthia’s camera..*hint…hint*
