Beautiful Photos From Palm Inn, Butterworth

The Palm Inn Hotel, Butterworth, Penang.

When I was in Penang(please click here), my big sister Kaman took some photos from our hotel rooms’ windows.
I think that the photos are very, very beautiful.

Dewan Dato’ Haji Ahmad Badawi is just across the road from the Palm Inn, Butterworth.

We can see the Penang Straits or South Straits(Selat Selatan) and the Penang Island(please click here) from our rooms.

Dewan Dato' Haji Ahmad Badawi and the Penang Island from our hotel rooms.

We saw a firework show on the island from our rooms on Saturday night but we do not have any photos of the fireworks.

It was very beautiful.

The Delicious ‘Original’ Mee Udang Sungai Dua(Part 1)

‘Mee Udang Sungai Dua’(please click here) is very popular in Penang and there are lots of ‘mee udang’(prawn noodle) restaurants in Sungai Dua.

Sungai Dua is in Butterworth, Penang(please click here).

Last week, Pak Cik Burhan(please click here) showed us a restaurant that he said is the original restaurant selling very delicious ‘mee udang’ in Sungai Dua.

The name of the restaurant is ‘Restoran Aur Gading’.

Restoran Aur Gading, Sungai Dua.

The restaurant is by a river and we can see the river while eating.

I saw some people fishing by the river.

A fishing rod by the river.

The place is beautiful and there are lots of trees around the restaurant.

We can see the river from our table.

Pak Cik Burhan and my parents ordered the ‘mee udang’.

My parent enjoyed the ‘mee udang’ very much!

They said that the ‘mee udang’ is very, very tasty but I think it is too hot

A plate of yummy half eaten 'mee udang'. Three plates of the tasty 'mee udang' is RM41.60.

My sisters ordered ‘kuey teow goreng’(fried flat noodle).

A plate of 'kuey teow goreng'; my mother said it is 'mamak' styled .

I ordered ‘kuey teow sup’(flat noodle in clear soup)

The ‘kuey teows’ are not that tasty but the ‘mee udang’ are really good.

So, if you want a delicious ‘Mee Udang Sungai Dua’, you can visit this restaurant.

Catching A Feather

Have you ever catch a feather from a flying bird?

I caught one on July 17, 2011 on the field in front of the Dato’ Haji Ahmad Badawi in Butterworth, Penang.

I walked across the field with my father to take some photos of me standing in front of a SEMAIAN banner (please click here).

I am standing at the end of the big field in front of the Dewan Dato' Haji Ahmad Badawi, Penang. Across the road is the Butterworth Palm Inn Hotel.

As we walked back to the Dato’ Haji Ahmad Badawi Hall, we saw some pigeons on the field.

Some of the pigeons on the field.

So I walked slowly towards them as not to scare the pigeons.

I walk slowly to the pigeons...

But they flew away…

Suddenly, one of pigeon’s feather flew out of it’s wings.

It flew in the air.

I ran after it and I caught it before it falls to the ground

The first feather that I caught from a flying bird.

And I took the feather back to Kuala Lumpur

A Surprise Durian Party

I am standing in front the field facing the Dato' Haji Ahmad Badawi Hall.

On Sunday, July 17, 2011 we had a wonderful durian party at Dato’ Haji Ahmad Badawi Hall, in Butterworth, Penang.

The party started after the seminar(SEMAIAN) that we attended at the hall.

We were going back to the hotel when the uncles from ‘GABUNGAN’ brought us a very big bag of durians.

They said the durians were from orchards in Balik Pulau where the best durians from Penang come from.

The durians were very sweet and tasty.

We had the party outside the seminar room, facing a nice green field, full of pigeons. 

It was the best durian party that I ever had

To eat the durians, we must first open the fruits

Pak Cik Burhan is trying had to open a durian..

Mmm...tasty and sweet. I am eating durian..

I(middle) was enjoing durian with my father(L) and Pak Cik Burhan(R).

"Where is my durian?", asked my sad sister Kafah. From left is my mother, Kafah, my father, me and Pak Cik Burhan. Everybody are enjoing tasty durian; except Kafah...

Seminar Mendaulat Islam – Agama Negara (SEMAIAN)

On Sunday, I went to the Seminar Mendaulat Islam – Agama Negara (SEMAIAN) at the Dewan Dato’ Haji Ahmad Badawi, Jalan Bagan Luar, Butterworth, Pulau Pinang (Penang).

We went to Penang on Saturday and come back to Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

During the seminar, I helped my father to bring things from outside to inside the seminar hall.

The uncles from GABUNGAN ordered delicious ‘karipap’ and ‘spring rolls’ for the morning break.

We ate rice and a special Penang chicken curry for lunch.

The curry was very, very, very, very, very, very tasty but hot.

After the program the uncles from GABUNGAN brought lots of delicious durian for a durian party!

I enjoyed myself very, very, very, very much.

The program was reported in the Utusan Malaysia yesterday.

Utusan Malaysia is one of the main newspapers in Malaysia.

A Penang Prawn Noodle Lunch

I went to Penang last May.

Over there, I had ‘Penang Prawn Noodle’ for lunch.

In Malay, ‘Penang Prawn Noodle’ is ‘Mee Udang Pulau Pinang‘.

We had our lunch at a restaurant in Sungai Dua, Penang.

There is a big paddy field across the restaurant.

When I reached there it was very hot.

Then it became cooler because it was raining.

I think the noodle was too hot but my parents said it was tasty

There were lots of prawns in the noodle.

My sisters ate fried kuey teow.

My sisters said the fried kuey teow was very delicious.

We drank cold ‘Lai Chee Kang‘; a drink with ice, jelly and lots of other things.

I think the food at the restaurant was delicious but too hot and the place is very hot if it is not raining.

Going To Penang

Continued from Going To Cameron Highland Please read my last post

I reached Penang at about 3:00 PM.

I stayed at the Bayview Beach Resort at Batu Ferringhi Beach for 2 nights and 3 days.

I stayed in a BIG family room with a king size bed and two other beds with two Sony televisions sets.

My room number was 740.

Bayview Beach Resort is my favourite hotel in Penang.

I always stay there when I go to Penang.

In the evening I played at the beach until sunset.

The next morning I played at the beach again.

I went on a boat ride, rode on a jet ski, played in the sea and built a triangle sand castle.

I enjoyed riding the jet ski the best, next building the sand castle, next boat riding, and last playing in the sea because I don’t like it when the salt water got into my mouth.

I told the wave to stop but it did not listen to me.

I love riding the jet ski because it was very, very, very, very, very fast.

In the evening I played at the beach again until sunset.

We had our dinner at Padang Brown.

I ate a delicious mutton soup with bread.

The next morning we went to Fort Cornwallis and Gurney Drive before we went on the ferry and drove back to Kuala Lumpur.

I enjoyed the trip to Penang very much because it was really fun.

Fin. The End.

At Penang

At Penang there is a hotel named Bayview. I stayed in Bayview Hotel on the 10th floor. The  room number is 1028.

I went on a boat ride. I saw jellyfish and dolphins. I dig the sand and made a sand castle. We went home on Thursday.
