We were given a tour to the local Peranakan Museum during the trip. It was one of the other parts of the trip I enjoyed, because the place was so beautiful. There were details everywhere you looked, and the culture and history was as rich as the architecture and embroidery of the traditional beaded slippers they had.

#2 Chandeliers and other pretty things.






#3 Beaded slippers and some other artefacts they had on display.

I went to Penang for a short getaway early this year! It was my first time there and to be honest I wasn't expecting much, but it was quite relaxing. There are quite some bit of photos so I'm splitting them into two posts, this will be mainly the food/shopping post!

#1 Dinner first night, nothing spectacular but it was pretty interesting since we were at a roadside stall and it was nothing like what we have at Singapore.


#2 Mango pudding! It's just at some random food court but the amount of mango was so generous.


#3 Dinner, day 2. Noodles, ham, wiener and chicken wing in some random eatery.


#4 Mumsie's.


#5 More random dinner night, this was third, I think? Tiniest fried ebi I've ever seen.


#6 But they had pudding!


#7 /cue Giga Puddin' song


#8 On the last day we visited this old school-ish kopitiam.


#9 There was just this one stall selling noodles.




#10 And the noodles? Best I've tasted and they were only instant noodles.


#11 The lady apparently cooks it with broth made from pork bones so it's incredibly rich.


#12 Gotta have my old school milo peng and toast.



#13 Late night supper cos we just had to have bak ku teh. And we ended up having it for like the next 2 nights or so.






#14 Last day's dinner.


#15 Dumpling soup that I really liked, it was very light and the dumpling was very plump with fresh minced pork and prawn.


#16 Dimsum~




#17 French beans and a pretty unique carrot cake.




#18 Some of my loot from Penang. They had surprisingly 'decent' shopping, not incredibly cheap but there were pretty stuff. The bag in the corner is less than SGD$15 and the quality is pretty good.


#19 GPOY.






#20 Last two of my wonderful self.




And now I'm incredibly hungry from editing/writing this post so.. bye!
