Penang Trip - Morning Half Of Day 1 - Part 2

Reaching Penang bus station.... we waited for my Fifth auntie (my dad's 5th brother's wife... yes I come from a huge family... lol ) to come and pick us up.. the wait was like about 20 mins or so .. but to me it seems to long ... perhaps coz I am tired and also feeling hungry and grouchy...

Finally my auntie came with a 7 seater car to fetch all of us ... as plus my youngest gu gu and her hubby .. there is a total of 5 of us .. and driver is 6 lor .. so how to seat in normal car... so lucky my uncle borrow the 7 seater from his friend who have gone to China to do business.. I think its to get more tea leaves... hehe....

So at the bus station .. we wanted to go and and try to see if we can sell off the extra 3 tickets that we have brought ....

Lady : Do not know can sell of or not la
Auntie : Try for us la
Lady : Ok I will try for you... not confirmed on ha ...
Aunite: Can la ... U sell seat 1 A B C for us hor..
Lady : Ok can .. u leave ur number .. if sell off I call you...
Auntie : Can ... u call me la

The lady at the counter was talking super slow.... almost fall asleep while waiting for her to finish talking .... so me and my gu gu walk around and see the other prices of the bus to other parts of Malaysia and also to Singapore... wow the prices are so much different from agent to agent...

Finally all these got settle.. so we went back to the car and then got ready to go for breakfast...

"Ringggggggg"

My fifth auntie's phone went off.... smart guess is my uncle calling to see if my auntie have picked us up yet... so after much talking .. we finally arranged to have breakfast together... so off we went to have dim sum breakfast at some so call coffee shop place...

Wow the breakfast there is nice ... the century egg congee was powerful... not too thick and not too think... just the right texture of a good congee

My First Bowl of Food in Penang

Some other Dim Sum that I eat... I Love them ...

The egg tart was super good.. but too bad I was enjoying myself too much that i totally forget to take picture of the egg tart... wahahah .... greedy me ... after all this .. my uncle went to work ... as it was still Friday... and we went to their place to unpack... bath and then go out ...

Seeing it was best believing it ... the 4 stories of stairs that I have to climb... arrrrrr hate it with all the luggages... but no other choice... so be a good gal and climb.. so tiring.. and sian ... hiazzzz

Finally I did it ... first time I see their place ever since they move here 4 - 5 years ago .. cannot really remember... not really big.. but have 3 bed rooms... and the whole place was air con ... so that was a relief to me.. coz weather was really hot .... so after all the unpacking of "goods"(my familys meaning of items brought for each other to eat.. wear.. drink .... as some items are not available in different parts of malaysia or not at all in malaysia ... or that someone can get better discount else where then the place they are living in)

After some gossiping and talking ... everyone started to bath 1 by 1 before going out ... and starting the day tour... we first started to look for food as it was lunch time.. so call my uncle again and heard he was at a tea place... so off we go ... to find him for lunch and also to drink some good chinese tea.... wow the boss at the place is a good friend (The nice uncle who lend us his 7 Seater car) of my uncle and they just open a new shop ... it seems my uncle hangs out there most of the time as per my fifth aunite ... hehe ....

Tea Making

My Fifth Uncle with his expensive Tea... its Like RM 200 plus for a small box..

"Professional" Utenils for Tea Making

After all the beganning of tea... we all went for lunch at a small time coffee shop and the whole place is full of clocks.. for whatever reason I really no idea... the weather was really hot and the "cooling" tea we drink does not taste right... so no mood to take photo.... after lunch ... we went to the orginal tea shop of my uncle's friend (yup the same uncle).. and the first thing my mum have carving for was durians... and to my horror.. they intend to go to the tea shop to have durians... *FAINT*

The tea shop that my fifth auntie was promoting since we arrive.. saying they have really nice tea and some items made of tea that we cannot image.. and some of the tea in big log cost like RM 42 000 and it will increase as the year goes by (coz the tea matures and it gets better)... the tea cup set there also really nice and pretty and not cheap ok...

Guess what it is made of ??

Something Interesting....

RM 42 000 Tea.... = about SGD$ 22 000

Mum eating Durian... the evidence.. wahahah

Even after all those food... we still went on to eat chendol... wow famous desert in Malaysia..... cheap nice and good...

The 1st road side stall we went too for Chendol....

Mum and Fifth Auntie enjoying it... Yum Yum

The Cooking of the Famous Penang Laksa..

Just have to have some of the fried banana balls before leaving for sight seeing ... that is my dead finger pointing to the uncle what we want... the dark brown ball on the left hand side is the one that I want to eat and it super nice ... delicious man .. now it makes me miss my 2nd Gu Gu's one.... going to ask her to make for me ... YUMMMMMMMMMMMM.....
