Penang

I  have not been to Penang for 2 years. The hawker food price has increased to RM3.50 per plate, even the famous assam laksa at Ayer Hitam. Quite a number of new shopping mall such as Times Square, One Avenue, Straits Quay.

Visited Straits Quay developed by E&O, very huge township comprises shopping mall, commercial and residences.  The price for residences is not cheap as it states luxury living. :)
You turn in after Island Plaza and go all the way straight you will come to Straits Quay.

You can enjoy a nice walk at the sea front. Quite a number of restaurants, bistros and cafe in this area.
We ate at Aqua which serves Mediteranean food and it was superb. We had a great meal!!

Tapas top with mushroom

 Greek pita with beef

 Fish with cream sauce

 Seafood Paella for 2 pax at RM95

Night View at Gek Lok Si Temple. It only lit up during chinese new year. We got to walk up the hill in order to see the Kuan Yin statue. Not easy to walk up all the way...:)

We stayed at B-Suite hotel at Bayan Lepas. The room is clean and huge. Per nite is only RM160.
