  Location: Tanjung Bungah, Penang

  Type: 4 Stars - Beach Hotel

  Price: RM300 - RM400 per night (depend on room)

  The view from the beach during sunset

the beach during sunset. I am waiting for the sunset but it didnt happen at this beach. So, negative point for this place, lack of sun set view moment

The room

Kitchenette and the amenities. Refill was made daily. For all. Happy with this one.  

The LCD tv for new refurbish room. New carpet, new flooring, thick curtain, working desk etc

Interior was satisfying. At first, i was sceptical about this hotel. Afraid that they give me a lousy room. Luckily i was wrong. Being given a twin queen beds for me alone. Hah, what a heaven. i had a very me moment time during this holiday. Sleeping with 4 comfy pillows each night.

Bedding was good. Thick enough for well function air condition. Love the fluffy pillows too. 

A place to chit chat, if you come with a partner. Sea view room. First Class. Unfortunately, no balcony. but still we can sleep hearing the calm sound from the wave. 

Ironing set

Safety box and weigh scale

The bathroom. Clean. But at first, i had a trouble with the sink. Tomorrow, i realised they had fixed it. 

The Qiblat direction was kept in the drawer

Box of information

Membership card. Please apply at the counter. 

View from the room, early morning.

View from the front. this hotel is exactly along the main road. Which one of their major problem, parking area. Spaces are limited compared to number of rooms and guests. Double parking is expected. Last resort, leave hotel and come back early. Or, just get the jockey to handle it for you. pay some tips. 

Situation during day time

The eatery, their main cafe. Plenty of choices. but taste were really suck. RM50 for breakfast. luckily mom and dad got it for free. and they just had english style breakfast. 

Lobby area. What i love about this hotel is they had an open air lobby area-entrance-beach balcony. 

So we can enjoyed the fresh breeze air. No need air ventilation. hehehe

The main balcony. 

Yoga was conducted on sunday for hotel guest. 

Stunning condo next to the hotel. 

It is a really calming when wake up every morning next to the beach

The pool. Just realised i forgot to bring my suit. The main reason i choose this hotel because it got pool. uwaaaaaa =(

In short:

Cleanliness: Yes. They had housekeeping every day during my stay. 

Staff: Quite friendly or at least pretend to be friendly

Location: Near to Bt Feringgi and beach. 

Facilities: The parking area

Food & Beverage: In room was ok but not for breakfast time at the cafe. 

Penang - Roti Canai Jalan Transfer & Jeruk Madu

As recommended by a friend, we went for our roti canai hunting at Jalan Transfer. Quite a challenge for us. We spent quite some time circling around the same place before found this mamak stall. In fact, it is not even a proper stall. The seller just set up a cooking area near the wall and line up the tables and chairs alonf the corridor.

Next to the Roti Canai is the Roti Bakar @ Toaster Bread stall

Maybe, reader could google this Malia Bakery when searching for the Roti Canai. it is located opposite each other

Small, not as crunchy and crispy as i expected. Tastewise, so-so. Might be less time to "work" on the dough. To me, preparation of the ingredient of any meal is one of the important key. I can suspect due to the demand and time constraint, the seller has ignore its quality control on this roti canai. 

So, basically, my verdict, em... just another meal. i might come again or maybe just skip this meal

The chicken curry is good. I love the way mamak variety their cooking style for the curry they prepare. More chillies than curry used to prepare this one. Should i just come for the curry?? can get stomach ache since the curry is pretty spicy. can see through the colour right.

The cooking area

Pretty busy stall. 

Discovered this street. Lebuh Kheng Kee. This is the location of the famous Cendol in Penang

Dropped by at Pak Ali Jeruk Madu to shop for our jeruk souvenir. 

Buah Berangan or Chestnut. Had a 350gm of chestnut as my dessert of the day. Seriously yum yum. It  tastes sweet and smell good too. 

Off the street, another famous Nasir Jeruk. Dad bought his stock from this shop. When asked, which one is better, Nasir's or Pak Ali's. The guy answered, it likes on how you cooked or fried your fish. The difference is depend on the consumers' taste. Different people has different liking and preparing something. But the major different is Nasir Jeruk does not use sugar or artificial sugar or saccharine. 

Less crowded when we came in. The guy got plenty time to entertain us and further can give better price than the famous Pak Ali Jeruk.

The landmark to the jeruk area is the IPK Pulau Pinang. We parked next to the building and then crossed the road.
