Penang - November 2008

In November 2008, we made a trip to Penang. A trip down memory lane for Zaher's parents.

We drove to Penang on a Friday night and stayed in the heart of Penang town, which is a haven for mama, as that's her "playground" when the family lived in Penang some 30 years back.

The next day, we drove round the Island.  We stopped at the Penang Butterfly Farm but did not stay long as Babah was too tired to walk around.

We then proceede to Balik Pulau, in search of the delicous Nasi Kandar that  Mama & Babah had when they were here some years back. Unfortunately, we were there a bit after lunch, and there's not much dishes left.

On our way back, we stopped at the Balik Pulau lookout point. The view was spectacular and the breeze was exhilirating!

We then proceeded back to town to visit some relatives, before going back to the hotel to rest. In the evening, after dinner, we went for a walk at Padang Kota.

The next day, we left Penang early and headed towards Taiping for a night. Babah was not feeling well, and rested most of the time, while the kids enjoyed the pool.

Although it was quite a short trip, it was a great trip, and we are glad to have Babah & Mama with us on this trip.
