Penang Trip- Day 1

It has been a long time since we had our family vacation, there's always either 1 of us can't make it. Still remember the last family vacation we had was way back in year 2004 when my whole family went to Melbourne to attend my convocation. Yeah..i know it's been quite a while...That's life after everyone starts working....

We finally had a chance to have our short family outing after sooooo many years and thanks to eldest sister for making this trip a reality(coz sister gotta go to Penang for business trip, so she suggested we all go there and teman her!!! ). Weekend trip to Penang-Ipoh for good food hunt. I know it's like a weekly routine for lots of family to travel together, but for us to get together and have such an outing is sooooooooooooooooooo hard!! So even a nearby short trip is as good as an oversea vacation. Still remember my 1st trip oversea to USA was when I was only 3 months old?!?! Dad, I promise you that I'll bring you for holiday oversea soon yeah....

While passing through the rows of shops in front of Traders Hotel, dad discovered something special-->FOOD again!! This round is at the small lane between the row of shoplots.... boiled peanut dessert. I've never tried something as good as this!!!!Must try..and this stall is famous among the local too!!!
