We had a short holiday in Penang during the Wesak break and we took a flight out with my father-in-law and sister-in-law. We stayed in Gurney Hotel and I'm impressed with the layout (we took 2 rooms suite) and it was money worth spend. Cheap, 4 star facilities and spacious! And yes, we had a good view which is sea facing! I will definitely stay there again.
It was my FIL 1st trip to Penang and Zach's too (of course he's too young to tell..hahaha) and we did some touristy visit to the famous temple. We went to Kek Lok Si, Sleeping Buddha and Siam Temple. As usual, when we are in Penang we had good time with the local fares and all our eating schedule goes haywire. Meaning, no lunch or dinner time. We just eat like a glutton. Gorble down asam laksa, lobak, char kuay teow, chee cheong fun, prawn mee, otah, and the list goes on.
We visited the temple on our 2nd day
It was a hot day and we were sweating like leaking tap. Zach had his share too and I found a small little pimply thing behind his neck fold. We had blessing from the monk there and as usual I always wish for good health, happiness and safety for everyone.
2nd pit stop was the Kek Lok Si temple. I can’t re-call when was my last trip there. I was curious to see the changes as I hear about the new elevator which brings you up to the Goddess of Mercy. Glad we took the esclator before I’m out of breath, carrying a 8kg baby up the stairs is no joke :p.
We reached the top in less than 5 minutes and I can’t recall a temple there and it has a nice park and manmade waterfall. The place was serene and cooling. We took a break there and change diaper for Zach on the grass :p
I find this bench rather cute. They have all kinds of animals ranging from pig, dog, rabbit…
Here’s Zach with his gong gong and posing beside him is his good friend.
Hunks on the row :)
