We started our journey to Penang by 9.30am as we wanted to go to Queensbay Mall. It is located at Bayan Lepas and I just follow my instinct on the direction. The signage is quite clear and we arrived there as schedule. We window shopped briefly before we proceed to a light brunch at Old Town (we wanted to try the doughnut shop but couldn't locate it). We ordered peanut butter toast, thick toast with strawberry puree and half-boiled eggs. After brunch we ended up going to the play-area beside CROCS and Arief play there for almost half-an-hour. It took us awhile to coerce Arief to change his diapers at the nearby changing room :-)
My in-laws called; saying that they are already approaching the Penang bridge and will be waiting for us at Gelugor Mobil Station (nearby tapak pesta). Again I use my instinct and we found the location. From there we convoy to Sg Dua to wait for Elina's family. We parked in-front of Subaidah Restoran; having our drinks there. Elina's arrived within half-an-hour later and again we convoy to Kayu Nasi Kandar. The place is not that packed but the queue is long. We ordered "hidang" with ayam goreng, ayam madu and kari kepala ikan as the main dish. We take turns to eat as Arief was busy playing all over the restaurant. I bought Arief Wall's Cornetto ice-cream and he shared it with his cousin. The total bill is RM125 for 10 adults. From Kayu Nasi Kandar we drove to Bayview Hotel at Batu Feringgi. I think the journey is about 45 minutes as Bayview is the furthest hotel. We went up to the room to freshen-up; the bed is huge. Arief took his bath there; in the tub as well as in the shower. We drove out from Bayview at around 5.30pm and we stopped by at the old Padang Kota to buy sotong bakar. We make a brief stopped at Juru R&R as Arief vomitted from his medicine and we finally arrived at Pokok Assam by 9pm. Arief was already sleeping soundly during the journey :-)
