5 Jul Saturday – Hot day
This trip started out…. W lotsa shopping! At Changi airport! Hahha…
Our flight is at T2 but after we pass immigration, we head straight to T3! Cuz WH wanna go collect her Michael Kors. Hahah tsk tsk …. She reserved yday but nd to b on day of departure then enjoy e 7% off gst.
So anyways, I saw Loewe in e distance so I wanted to go look-see too. And this caused e 2nd damage! RY gt reminded of a bag she was looking at! Hahah and she was in such a dilemma.
So I decided to buy her time n go Swarovski see how much is this bangle tat I was eyeing. Now this bangle is…. Thin and I prefer chunky ones. But the crystals r really bling~ and it’s meant for stacking de. Each one cost $210 outside! So to stack need a substantial amount. Hahha to cut a long story short, with less 7% gst and WH’s 10% staff discount, each one become $177! So….. I bought 3! Hahha 2 black and 1 rose gold! I saved $102 in total! Omg!!! I ❤ Changi Airport!
Anyway, back to RY. Thru all my trying of bangles, she has decided to buy! Her Loewe bag! Yippee!!! After she made her decision, it was chope chope curry pok. Hahha and a mad rush!
Cuz both WH and RY purchases quite bulky, so they decided to store in some luggage compartment at Changi Airport hahah so they hav to rush there while e remaining 3 of us strolled to e gate :p
We did board our plane to an uneventful n short flight.
Finally we start our day 1 in Penang!
We got approached at the airport for a ride to hotel at 80 ringgit and since there is 5 of us, we jz take lo to save trouble hehe…
Our hotel ~ Chulia Heritage Hotel 
It’s a short way in frm e main road 
Oh ya… Introducing the foodies for this trip:
Girls from left to right: RY, QL,me, WH
Guy: YW (who kenna e job of navigator as well. I really appreciate his presence cuz it means i no nd to differentiate left and right)
Back to the hotel: the room is quite big cuz we got a 4-pax room
But the bathroom is tiny lo. Once we bathe, toilet sure wet wan. 
All in all, I think this hotel fulfil the basic stuff: towels provided, refill of drinking water everyday. So it’s really value for $$ but QL said she can hear ppl upstairs making sounds tho. And i can hear e rain splattering down too. Rooms not very soundproof.
Ok enough abt e hotel! It’s time for food!!!
First up! Wanton mee! 
Noodles is very QQ kind without e kee smell. Wanton is not bad but I think HK wan more shiok.
And u see e hot cuppa nxt to it? Hazelnut white coffee! Yum yum. Very aromatic… Now I feel like having another cup.
Nxt up is getting connected! We went Gurney plaza to buy our SIM cards. Quite cheap. RM16.80 for $8 worth of call n 2 days of 150mb data. We just nd it to coordinate when we take different cabs so we just gt e basic lo. Rem to bring passports along!
Gurney Plaza is very … singapore. Gt ktv, cinema, fitness centre. Many many lvls of shopping. And…. It’s capital mall’s.
Fren wanna visit supermarket so off we went. Along the way, we pass by Mochi sweets. Which I hav been wanting to try but it’s kinda exp in spore. Here, price is same as SG but it’s in ringgit. Hehe Tadah! Tried e peach cream wan at RM3.50 each
It’s quite yummy, like snow skin mooncake like that. A palette cleanser. I like!
Overseas supermart always sell different things frm spore. Even corntos packaging is different.
They are also into LINE characters there! Hahha Ql actually bought these and they are RM10.90 each lo hahah
We actually stocked up on chips (which we didn’t eat in e end) and then it’s time to start… Dinner at Gurney Drive! 
Rather touristy place but some of e food still surprise me.
First up! Cockles! Haha I chose this stall which have plates of cockles stacked up at e front and the cockles are still moving. WH looks pretty disgusted when I told her that. :p
And the cockles are really juicy n fresh! Very shiok. Only regret is e chili; not e sour or chinchalo kind.
Nxt up is… My favourite liao! Assam sambal stingray!! 
This cost RM20 and it’s rather big piece and e meat is very thick. Totally love e chili spread on top cuz it’s not just sambal chili. They actually added Assam into it so it’s very appetizing. Haha ok it may b just my tastebud tho. QL and YW prefer e spore version. For me, I ❤ this version and will go back Gurney just to eat this dish.
This one I did take e stall front! Hehe 
Uncle wear shirt and pants to cook. Haha … Btw, long wait of 20min so order first.
The following squid is also frm same stall so same sambal sauce. Sauce is gd; squid tastes bland so Mayb shall skip this. 
From the same stall, I saw ppl bring away CLAMS! Haha Grilled style and no chili. The clams looks juicy and big haha… Note to self: to try nxt time
Rojak – not bad. Gt more ingredients than spore and their youtiao is fried till crispy kind 
Oyster omelette – bad. It’s the Taiwan style ie soggy kind. Kinda wasted cuz they actually very generous w e oysters but too bad 
Char kway teow – prawns very fresh tho I find this dish normal. The rest quite like it tho. But think I didnt take pic of it oopsy
After dinner, we strolled ard Gurney drive area hoping to find more food but sadly…. didnt. Only see a very artistic roundabout?
Then we tink tink and decide to go checkout KTV @ Gurney Plaza. Its not cheap sia. RM48 per pax tho include free flow dinner hehe but we are quite full le. (Except for YW who went to buy a Mac Filet O fish meal back to hotel)
Oh oh along the way to checkout KTV, we also bought… Muah chee!
its soft n nice! Everyone love it!
After YW bought his mac, we then made a move back to hotel room lo. Bathe and its time to start our game night! haha not gambling but Citadel! This time, we replaced Assassin with Bewitched so that there wun be senseless killing. Poor WH kenna the “victim” of the night. She kenna stole from and bewitched like for the first 3 rounds then after that on and off. She is not as Heng as she tot? 
I think the ultimate came when….. she kenna bewitched cuz she is King and when her cards gt magicked over by magician haha alll in e same turn!
Close to the end of the game, World Cup started! YW and WH got very distracted then haha then YW chope chope curry pok end e game and… won! hehe… Then YW and QL went back to their room. RY and I off the lights and go slp. Then WH cont watching the game w lowered volume. She sure watched till very gan cheong cuz I can hear her sigh at a near miss hehe… Shortly after which I KO lo hehe…
