Sip the cold drink on top of hill

Planned to bring Ah Wang for food hunt, whole day long; it seemed like our stomach don't want us to torture them this hard. To burn all the fat and food inside us, we were going to Penang Hill for a walk; I keep going to this awesome place once a month, or more? Laugh. Each time with a different story mode, I'll never get bored with this.

I guess that day was my lucky day, first time to get in the first loge of cable car, so honor to stand beside the cable car driver too.

Wanted to take this photo for times, it's like another whole new world after the tunnel, like our life; finally I got one now. 

Ever see this stairs on the way to Penang Hill Post Office? I know where it leads to, yet I never been there until that day, I stepped on it.

You'll get to see this vintage chair along the way to the top.

It's David Brown's on strawberry hill, a long forgotten garden which is a quintessential British colonial Restaurant and Tea Terraces. 

Here's the restaurant part, with a big pond in the middle of the land, I'd heard that they served a variety of great food and fine wine. 

It's kind of enjoy to dine at top hill with stunning view on the island; I'll leave the great food for my next visit.

We went for a drink at their Tea Terraces where you surrounded with trees and nice songs they play.

Shirley Temple (RM18) on the left and Grenadine Sunset (RM18) on the left; both with special taste that they mixed for us.

Can you imagine how fast is the cable car run on the railway? Like a roller coaster! Laugh.

Where else can you find these place out of Penang?

I am here, again

Love when my friends from different states come over Penang for a short trip and visit me. This round my accompanier is Shin Wang aka Ah Wang. A cool dancer who likes sea and nature from his heart; influenced by him, I felt it was comfy to walk under the sun.

It was a getaway for him since the place where he currently stay now do not have seas like we have here, Bora Bora would be the best place for him to enjoy the moment. Came here few months ago, and I ordered the same food like last time. Laugh.

Thanks to him, I had a little getaway too for the week, I really thought that I were actually having a vacation on a unmanned island.

Under the hot sun, we were not the only people at Bora Bora, I guess most of them like to go there at night, for happy hour and beer.

Bora Bora Special Pizza . RM13.90

Eight inches of pizza is enough for two people and make you bloated, because they topped with lots of ingredients and cheese!

Baked Potato served with salad: Seafood thousand island and cheese . RM14.50

Together with the potato salad, we got fresh veges topped with only olive oil.

I couldn't resist it everytime I am here, the seafoods they served over here are fresh and don't have fishy smell.

I think I really need a getaway, real one.

Counted as my first birthday celebration for this year.

It's time for Ramen

April, my daddy's month, as well as mine; like our past years, we always celebrate our big day together since it's only 5 days apart. 

We, family yet without my brother-in-law went to Paragon for good food; we were so lucky to find ourselves a good parking lot, maybe the time was still early when we reached the place. Paragon was actually having a function, some sort like dancing in a group, Penang is always happening, love it.

That's where we were heading for, Goku Raku Ramen; too bad I didn't make a reservation before that, and it was full house that time. We supposed need to wait for another 45 minutes to get our turn, ended up they let us jump the queue and get us in, lucky no? 

Photo taken while waiting them to clean table for us. Goku Raku Ramen has gained its good reputation via outlet at Mid Valley before coming in Penang, they name themselves as "The Ramen Heaven" because they serve the best broths for Ramen, thick and creamy.

The menu, wood-like yet it's not handy enough; at the end of menu, they even put some instruction how you should enjoy the ramen.

A little surprise from them, when they placed your order, they will bring a temporary receipt for you, with a cutie clip on top! Lovely!

They decorated the shop with this, fake plant, on our seat and also the wall. Not much seats are provided, as the restaurant is not huge.

The open-air kitchen with all-white concept; these make the environment seems steamy as the gas flow out from the kitchen to outside.

Every table will have wood basket to placed all the mess kits and napkins.

Random snap on the basket and the logo of Goku Raku Ramen.

Let's start with the food now! Until end of April, they are actually having a promotion, each Large size Ramen are giving 50% off.

The signature: Goku Raku Ramen . RM18.90 (small); RM23.90 (large)

The Goku Raku broth noodles are topped with Char Siew, flavored egg, bamboo shoots, leeks, onion and seaweed. With these, they named this as The Ramen Haven, worth to try tho! The flavored egg is awesome with its velvety yolk. 

Jantama Ramen . RM14.90 (small); RM18.90 (large)

Noodles in Goku Raku sauce topped with shredded Char Siew, Soft boiled-egg, leeks, spring onions and chopped chicken. They are good in cooking good egg which all are marinated with special sauce.

Goku Raku Miso Ramen . RM19.90 (small); RM24.90 (large)

Miso Goku Raku broth noodles topped with cabbage, minced pork, flavored egg and fragrant garlic oil. I must admit that the noodle are the best Ramen I'd ever tasted, I'm not really into Ramen if compare to Udon, yet this noodle type ramen changes my mind.

Flower decoration near the counter, the restaurant is in red and yellow, just like the color in their logo.

Four of us ordered large size ramen, as the price was even cheaper than the small size one, and the portion for the large one is only 150g noodle. Had some chit chat with the cashier while waiting they settle my bills, nice to talk with friendly him.

Happy birthday to my dad, and soon to myself.

Weekly activity

Another bowling session with my colleagues, they are a little bit obsess with this I guess; so-called our company activity, every week.

We were the first group heated up Penang bowl with our laughter and joy. I am playing with a heavier ball which come out quite okay.

Like usual, lunch at New Work Park after the play, and met with these two little kids having fun at play ground, while their mothers did their talking. Feel the energetic from them, good isn't it?

. . . . . . . . . .

The unknown number; I knew is yours.

We again

Another back-dated post from last Friday, met with my Zoo Is Cute gang, where I wore my new piece of cloth! Owlsome. Felt like we never meet for quite some times, in fact every two months we might have gathering, although not all of us are free to join.

Esther and Siew Ee were not in the photo, they insisted; that's why we only got fivesome photo for the night.

Funny photo, but they all love it. I wish to see all members on the next gathering, pray hard. Will stop right here, till then.
