Postcards from Penang

8am and blurry-eyed
Snaps of our converted shophouse hotel room - Straits Collection Residences on Stewart Lane
First meal of the day at De Tai Tong on Lebuh Cintra, where super friendly, chatty old ladies work the floor. :)
 Auntie Sim offers a peek into our futures. 4 kids for Ceci!
Chendol pilgrimage
Sunlit stroll back to the hotel after our foot reflex session.
Chilling at Kopi Cine on 55 Stewart Lane, right beside our room.
Restless conversations on paper.
Breakfasting by the roadside in Little India
More drinks while waiting for our pedicure.
Yummiest meal in Penang at Shing Kheang Aun Restaurant on 2 Chulia Lane. I think even the fussy Khoo bibiks at home would be satisfied.
Showing off our pimped out nails
Background: Livers fried in dark soy sauce.
Foreground: Assam prawns.
Ikan gulai
Friendly local who readily dished out foodie tips. He's 60 this year and hikes regularly. Respect!
Coffee and toast break in an alley kopitiam.
Street food: Lok lok - things on sticks. Kinda like steamboat meets satay.

All set for the "EPIC" train ride home. Well, we made it didn't we, babe?
