My Weekend in Penang......

Keith & I just came back from Penang today. We were there since Friday.

Attended an old friend's wedding on Saturday in Bayan Lepas. There was a small but 'big' hiccup at my friend's wedding. You see, the groom's friends (2 guys & 2 girls) were supposed to be there to help them with the registration and usher of the guests but unfortunately they were so irresponsible and they STOOD THE BRIDE & GROOM UP. 4 of them were missing in action and no where to be found. In the end, my friend & her hubby had to tell the guests that it was free seating since they do not have the copy of the seating arrangement with them. Sigh..... I just don't understand what sort of friends these people are..... Unless all 4 of them really had emergencies and really couldn't be there (but then they didn't even bother to call and they were no where to be found), I guessed they MUST have did it on PURPOSE!

But, other than that, the rest of the evening went well and I'm really happy for my friend as she'd found someone who really loves her and pampers her a lot (just the way she likes it). :)

Now back to our experience in Penang. When you go to Penang, surely everyone will go around places and eat the ever so famous local Penang food. But, because neither me nor Keith is familiar with Penang, we ended up to all the wrong places for the food. Needless to say, we came back with disappointment, coz we definitely have tried much nicer Penang Char Koay Teow, Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee), Penang Chu Cheong Fun, Penang Curry Laksa, Penang Asam Laksa in KL/PJ. Keith had Char Koay Teow for all his meals and none of them are clsoe to what we have in PJ. Errkkkk!

We have decided for our next trip, we must drag along friends who are really familiar with Penang and take us around to feast.
