hello everyone! I reached home yesterday but took quite some time to sort and edit the photos I took in Penang during my trip there for the past few days.
[note : quite a long post ahead! :D. And please click on the pictures to enlarge them. ]
Just keep reading and i'll guide you through whatever we've done in Penang :)
A total of 5 of us went for this trip together and my uncle drove us there. Uncle and 2 aunties departed from Seremban and they came over to pick sis and I up, then we headed to
Penang. In the picture above, we're already on the
Penang Bridge as you can see.
Sis, aunt and I. It took us about 5 hours to reach Penang, but we stopped in between for toilet breaks and had our early lunch at
Bidor (Perak).
We reached Penang at around 3pm and started locating the hotel. It took us a while to look for it. Once reached, we were greeted by the friendly hotel staffs and headed to the lobby. We stayed at
E&O Hotel and it was our first time there. Once in the lobby, we got ourselves seated on the sofa and the hotel staff actually came to us to check in for us, rather than needing us to go to the counter to check-in. And while waiting for them to bring the receipt for my uncle to sign, we were given cold towels and cocktail drinks. Great service :D
The view of the hotel as seen from outside. It was taken at night coz it looks very much nicer at night :)
1. The entrance. 2. The view once we step into the hotel. 3. One of the lifts.
Our room!
No.121 :D
The interior of our suite. We took the
deluxe suite, which is one of the smallest suites among all the suites there.
Clockwise from left :
The path once we step into the room,
our beds,
and living area at the end of the room.
Random shots of different things the room. So many antique stuffs that made the whole place look and feel very grand :). Pardon me for my poor editing coz I was too lazy to re-edit after stuffing too many pictures into one. But i'll be posting the individual pictures on facebook so keep a lookout for them from my facebook albums :)
Our room was facing the sea and it was pretty windy when the windows were opened!
The super spacious
bathroom! [please ignore our toiletries. lol ]
Every picture represents one part of the bathroom, and yes, this means that there're 2 basins in the washroom - ‘His’ and ‘Her’ hand-basins. There is a small difference between the 2 basins if you're observant enough to spot it from the picture.
Oh and not to forget, a hotel staff was also assigned to lead us to our room and gave us a brief explanation about the things in the room. We headed out to Tanjung Bungah after the bellhop carried our luggages to our room. We went to one of the beaches there for a while and walked to the Lone Pine Hotel [also under the E&O Group] which my uncle and aunt stayed at during their last visit to Penang. Initially, we wanted to book that hotel too coz it was by the beach but unfortunately, it was under renovation so we had to stay at E&O Hotel, which is located at the town area.
Aunt reading the map to give directions to my uncle as we're all not familiar with the roads there.
Both aunts, sis, and I at the beach.
We dined in this restaurant called "
End Of The World Seafood Restaurant" for early dinner as we had our lunch very early. haha what a weird name it has! But the food was just fine, not very good =/
Then we went back to the hotel again to bathe and get changed. Later on, we walked to a restaurant, not too far away from the hotel, for early supper at around 9 something if I didn't remember wrongly. haha we had early lunch, dinner and supper on the same day. lol.
okay, it's called
Red Garden Food Paradise & Night Market.
That's about the first day! And now, proceeding to Day 2...
Sarkies Corner, a colonial coffee shop in the hotel. We sat outside and we had our breakfast facing the sea. I just love the ambience there :)
They offer a wide variety of food, ranging from western to asian food with high quality ingredients. There're different types of typical Malaysian breakfast like nasi lemak, curry, porridge, dim sum etc. at another corner too but I wasn't interested in that. hahaha.
So as you can see in the pictures, there're cereal counter, japanese counter, cheese platter, pastries and different types of fruits. I love it that there's an abundance of strawberries served! I couldn't remember how many I ate! hahaha. Anyway, what you see in the photos are just part of the food there as the chefs can actually cook [selected food like waffles, pancakes, roti canai, char kuey teow, omelette (my love!!!!!) , soup noodles, etc.] for you on the spot upon request. 
Sis, aunt and I. We went nearer to the sea to take pictures after we had our breakfast :)
Valet parking was complimentary for the hotel's guests.
We left the hotel to walk around, and our main transportation for the day was our legs, despite having a car there. My uncle and aunt prefer walking around rather than driving and because we were fine with it too, so we walked around instead of driving.
Penang's MPPP. Looks so much nicer than the MPSJ over here! haha
At
Ford Cornwallis - The place where Francis Light and some government people from Kedah signed their agreement or something like that? haha my knowledge on History had rusted =x.
History. haha there're many other boards (is it called boards? hahah i've no idea) as such over there but these are the 6 main ones. I was too lazy to read the story again as I read it before in History last time. So no more History please. hahaha
A friendly passer-by thought we were interested in antiques when we stopped by a shop coz my uncle was attracted to the design of the door and took a picture of it. That guy recommended us to head to the Pinang Peranakan Mansion for a visit, and we did.
A few of the many pictures taken there.
We stopped by at a restaurant nearby for its famous
Penang Laksa (or more commonly known as Asam Laksa over here). It was quite good! I like the chendol there. haha
Walked back to the hotel to rest for a little while. I think we walked a total of about 7-10 km to and fro the places. We were literally tired but it was quite a good exercise!
Drove around to buy some Penang snacks.
We walked out from the hotel for dinner but we didn't find any nice restaurants nearby. So we walked back to the hotel and uncle drove us to Macalister Road and we settled down at a hawker centre with lots of food. But I don't think we took any pictures there coz it was too dark.
So here comes Day 3, and we headed to Sarkies Corner again for breakfast. We actually had free breakfast for all 5 of us for both mornings due to some reasons, together with a special accomodation rate. hahaha or else, it would've been quite costly for us to stay there.
Sis and I clowning around the room before leaving :D
We left the place close to 12pm and headed home. That's about it, a very fruitful trip with great experiences inside and outside the hotel :). I love the hotel and I think we'll be back there again the next time we visit Penang! hahaha it's just very distinctive compared to any other hotels out there.
p/s : more pictures will be posted on my facebook once i'm done sorting them out!
