Penang Trip: Hawkers Street Food Experience in Georgetown


Yay!!! So thankful that most of my tutorial students now were having their term break. I finally squeezed out some time to filter those photos which have been long abandoned on my Asus phone drive.

We-fie before the flight to Penang =) Mood: Excited

Here's the inside scoop of our last teacher's trip in Penang, Malaysia. We first stopped in St. Giles Wembley hotel, a 4 star hotel nestled in the heart of Georgetown.

Waiting to check - in at the cozy lobby area.



Spacious, clean and tidy. Really enjoyed our 3D2N stay here. =p

Bathroom with transparent glass complete with bathroom essentials.

After a quick refreshing shower, we headed down to their hawker centre, to hunt for food. First try is their famous Lok - Lok in town. It is a variety of food in sticks dipped into a pot of boiling water and then dip into different types of sauce (chili sauce, sweet sauce or peanut sauce). Tailor it to the taste of your liking. Lok-lok, which means dip-dip. Kinda like the taste. I want more please! Hehehe =D

Lok-Lok, for our midnight snacks.


Very affordable and fresh dimsum


Noodles Soup with shreds of chicken, fish cake balls and fresh garlic on top.


Rice noodles in a fishy soup soured with tamarind.

Delicious coconut - based ice cream.....yum!

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park

Image
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!

Spotted many freestanding sculptures which adds life and humour to the site's natural grace. FREDERICK CHOPIN, the most eminent Polish composer   Overlooking to this was the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where music enthusiasts regularly gathers there for some orchestral performances.   Girl on a Bicycle   Girl on a Swing, sculptured by Sydney Harpley, R.A The exuberant "Swing Me Mama" The Swiss Granite Fountain    There are more delighted artworks but it seems the rain can't no longer wait for us and so we spent the hours back again in the Botany Centre while waiting for the rain to stop. Spotted different styles of Christmas tree and decors. The Clock Tower of Singapore, a gift from the Patron Lady Yuen - Peng McNeice, December 1998. Christmas spirit is on the air.

Hotel Lisboa Stopover

It's been a month ago before I have shared to you this - my travel experiences in Macau last 29th of June with my family. Sorry about that guys. I've been pretty busy preparing my students for their upcoming Cambridge examination in Chemistry this October/November. I was assigned to trained them well for their Paper 1, 3 and 5 skills area. Lots of my surprise, all of them were taking my subject and had dropped other subjects like Biology. Well, pretty impressive but hope to God to bless all our hard works and preparations for this examination and get more A* compared to last year...:) Time for break....So thankful for this 12 - day refreshing break. I've got ample time to unload myself for all the paper works, to unwind and also to update my blogs :) As I go along, I'll share with you all the free rides we had experienced in Macau. Try it on your next visit in Macau....it's fun! ************************************************************************************
