Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan in Penang…

“The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it...”

(Craving for Nasi Lemak)

I am an advocate for solitude despite my too-busy schedule. Often out of the blue I would be wondering aloud what my day would look like if I had nothing to do.

As the week ahead was quite free, we decided to drive north and stayed in BNM Resort in Ferringhi for a few nights and as usual, indulged in Penang’s good food.
