We left Sidah's wedding reception early to send YB Ubai to KL Sentral. We then drove direct towards the north and stopped at Jawi Golf Club. Sara and Fitri had checked-out and were waiting for us with baby Alia having a slight tantrum because of fever and cough.
We reached Penang island quite late. After we checked in Hotel Seri Malaysia we drove to Padang Kota to have Pasembor and sotong bakar for dinner and later drove towards Batu Ferringhi. Batu Ferringhi doesn’t really have any historical attractions within its vicinity aside from the beach and the daily night market.

The next day we went to Chow Rasta Market to buy some colorful preserved fruits and later walked along the old shops selling souvenirs, locally made products, and unique handcrafts. These shops have been there for over a hundred years - generations have taken over the family business till today.

After checking out, on the way back to KL, we stopped at Queensbay Mall and had lunch at TGIF. The Mall is the largest shopping centre in Penang, minutes away from the Penang Bridge.
