Road-trip (more like food-trip!!!)
Went for a crazy road-trip wif Kit and Jess - turned out to be more of an eating trip!!!!
First stop (besides the quickie breakfast at the Sg. Buloh "Restoran Jejantas") was Ipoh. We had dim sum at Yoke Fook Moon restaurant but unfortunately, I was too hungry to remember to take any pics. The food was good, tho. take my word for it!!!!
Later, we stumbled across this Merrybrown outlet! It caught our eye as it has swings for seats!!!!
So of course, we had to try it out!!!
Thereafter, another stop at Kamunting before heading off to Taiping!!!
We then took our goodies and went to the food court for more ... FOOD!!!!
Sunset while travelling across the Penang Bridge. Couldn't get a clear pic, tho. Too much movement (illegal to stop on the bridge), too little light.
We went to the University Sains Malaysia and picked up 3 wonderful but crazy frens! After checking into our rooms (and lots of laughter and noise), we walked to Gurney Drive for dinner. The food wasn't that great but watever it lacked, the company and fun made up for it! We had an excellent time!
It took us quite a while to finally get up and get out. A quick breakfast of Loh Mee at Lorong Selamat before we headed back to mainland.
We stopped by Pusing for lunch (ask Jes Min how the town got its name!!!). It brought back memories as I brought the RBS students for lunch here in January this year. We ate at the same restaurant.
One of the main buildings in UTP - you can see the library on the right of the pic.

Yeah, talk to the hand!
Thereafter, another stop at Kamunting before heading off to Taiping!!!
The stall which sells inter alia curry puffs and banana fritters. Tried to take a candid shot here but Kit is always ready for the camera!
We then took our goodies and went to the food court for more ... FOOD!!!!
This is the Taping style fried kueh teow (fried rice noodles). It's more like the "korn chow hor fun" you find here in PJ and KL. It was good!
We had the Mee rebus oso! It was pretty good as I could taste it even tho I was having a flu!!!! It was pretty hot too (spicy)!
Some people had to be fed...
We then headed off to Penang.

Fried kueh teow as how we know it to be
Wan than mee
Assam laksa! I liked it but had great difficulty eating it. My nose was completely blocked and each time I took a mouthful, I had to take a deep breath first. Then, I had to chew it and swallow it quickly before I could take another breath! Yeah, you could say that my laksa was breath-taking!!!
After dinner, we rushed back cuz sum people were desperate to watch Desperate Housewives!!!
I watched it too - for the first time - and must admit it was entertaining.
Oh, we did fool around and enjoyed each other's company!!! It was fun!
Unfortunately, the students had lots of work to do so we sent them back (thanks again guys for taking yr precious time to be wif us!). And then we were all knocked out!

The Mun Sarng Mee was pretty good!
The fried rice was excellent too! We oso had korn chow hor fun and fried prawns! Yummy!
Thereafter, we headed off to Sitiawan and then Lumut.

My "gaya" pic! Nice-eh?
We din eat anything there as we were still stuffed from lunch at Pusing. On the way back, we stopped by University Teknologi Petronas at Tronoh. Jess' fren, Michael, a lecturer there, brought us in and around. It was a pretty cool! The buildings - lecture halls, library, halls etc were all very modern and looked brilliant!
One of the main buildings in UTP - you can see the library on the right of the pic.
Michael then took us to Batu Gajah for dinner. Again, more memories!!!! It was pretty late when we finally arrived back to PJ and me back to Subang!
Great food + good company = brilliant trip!
