first thing we do in Taiping.....EAT!!!!
hohohoho......
food food food.....

ALL ABOUT FOOD!!!!

the seafood there damn cheap compared to KL......

tell you what we ordered: crab, prawn, fish, lala, eggplant, vege and that thing which I don't know the name.....

everything listed up there....need to X2
because we 12 people sit at 2 big round table....
and all of them only cost us RM217....
and I think the serving enough for 20 people.....

the bad thing there was....i had no appetite at all due to the monthly pain....
i chewed the big fat prawn in my mouth for more than 5 minute still couldn't swallow it....
need to drink tea to flush the prawn into my stomach.....

love this coffee shop...provide some western breakfast....
not the fine one...
erm.....like the time when western food first introduced here.....
a bit like British+Malaysia style.....
and it was CHEAP too....^^

they sell some tart, cakes and cookies in such traditional way....
u just take a plate which place on top of the cupboard...open the sliding door..... and pick what u want...


one of the must-go place in Taiping-->Maxwell Hill
i thought we were going to hike up the hill......
but actually we jeep up and down the hill......save time and energy....

lookout point

before leaving to the picnic spot.....leave a memory together...

oh ya....had a first time at Taiping.....
it was my first time stepped into a church.....
watched a concert performed by a Korean missionary band....
some of them get so high during the ending of the concert.....

last night at Taiping....
BBQ party at sw's house.....

the succulent and tender chicken on the grill.....
some sweet potatoes in another pot...

having some fun time around the HOT fire

everyone had his/her own cup...no wasting....^^
the cup painting artist: sw, bell, hy

i was quite hyper throughout the BBQ party.....
as if i had taken some drug...XD
anyway...it was a very fun night....

some other places visited: pondan village...Taiping night safari....All Saints Church (first british church in Malaysia)
couldn't go pedaling at Taiping lake....due to the rain.....a regret about this.....

can't tell in detail about every place visited and everything did in Taiping....
too many to tell....

we played Mafia every night till 2-3 am......
woke up 8-9am the next day.....exhausted.....
but still worth it.....having a lot of fun at Taiping.....

Pulau Penang......the FOOD paradise....
