Penang - Mural & Cendol!

Day 2 at Penang, after breakfast, we started our mural hunt around Georgetown! Another advantage of staying at Armenian Street Heritage Hotel at Lebuh Carnovan is there are quite a number of breakfast choices around, within walking distance of course! We got a free map from Ming Xiang Tai and we just followed it.  By the way, traditional pastry from Ming Xiang Tai is so good! Siew Pao, egg yolk tart, chicken tart…all are so nice! Mural which tells the shop’s story, just in front of Ming Xiang Tai! Kopitiam! Cat lovers gonna love Penang very much. Meow~ There are quite a number of cats here, well, there is giant mouse over here too. Bump into an owl museum or collection store where we were impressed by creativity of the maker. After that...lunch time!!! :P This is not an exaggerated way to say that a trip to Penang is not complete without asam laksa and cendol! When think of cendol, think of Penang Road! Teo Chew
