Day 1: Singapore - Penang (Malaysia)


Got us a pretty good deal from Jetstar, we flew to Penang instead of driving all the way from Singapore. Upon arrival at the airport, our car had already waited for us. We rented a Proton Waja from Kereta Sewa Penang. See how shiny the car is, it had just been washed before delivered to us.

That was our car for four days


First stop was to our hotel in Georgetown. It was a pretty smooth ride from the airport to the hotel without any traffic jam. 

Bayview Georgetown Hotel

I booked a family room which was like two rooms combined into one. The difference was the second room only had a toilet and wash basin but no shower area. To my pleasant surprise, our room looks better than the pictures from the hotel's website.

Since it was already pretty late when we arrived, we only went out for dinner at the nearby food court.

Red Garden Cafe

 


The food here was so so only. We ordered a few che char dishes plus chendol. From all the dishes here, only chendol was good.

Fried oyster egg, pomfret with sweet and sour sauce, bbq stingray and chendol.
