It was fun throughout our Bidor and Penang trip. We set out having breakfast on the Saturday morning before we head out to Penang, it was just a mere 3 hours drive from Bidor. My fren owns a sedan car and we hopped on and never looked back.
Penang is still the same when i visited it many years ago, that time, i stayed in the Church building and never stayed at a hotel before. This time round, i'm actually having a complimentary room at the Cititel Hotel which was quite ok with spacious room, clean toilet facilities and a very big reception hall as well. We visited a few places of interest like the Kek Lop Si, other temples and Penang Hill as well. It brought back fond memories for me as i've visited them before.
We also went over to Hard Rock Cafe Penang which was situated at Batu Ferringii beach and even with the driving, it was really very far out of town area, i guess customers coming to this area would normally stay in the resort and beach area and not venture out at all... So we were quite happy with our present hotel stay.
Finally, the crack of dawn came and we got ready to check-out and had breakfast at their restaurant. I must say, i am quite impressed with the food and all. It came with Japanese, Korean, the local food like Chee Chong Fun, Dim Sum, Roti Prata and even for vegetarian as well and many more...
Next, shopping time, we spent some time at the Queens Bay Shopping Mall, nice big shopping mall which i came before in my earlier years. The mood is different this time round, i really had the shopping bug inside me to buy the clothes and etc...
I bought clothes from Espirit and Padini - Seed brand as well. I rejoined Espirit's member again and for the Padini brand, i bought 6 pcs which cost me below $20 which was having a 70% discount for its members, luckily, my fren brought his member card and we happily used it to the max....
Time to go home, we stopped by for some really good Ipoh white chicken and noodles and it was really good, we reached around 8pm and we packed and bathed and ready to be fetched to the bus stop and head back to Singapore. This trip was the most rush trip that i ever had, i hope there aren't anymore such rush trips, i want a relaxing pace trip next time...
