It's hard to tell you how happy I was when I knew that my Uni buddies were planning to spend a weekend in Penang, or more precise, to held a gathering at the lovely Island ^^
After voting, they finally reserved a dorm for 4 at Ryokan Chic Hostels, which is located at Muntri Street. Well, they got quite a good deal (Rm40 per person) for the room and it's air-conditioned (blanket is available to rent for Rm3) even though it's quite small for 4 people. Oops! Should be 5 people as I squeezed into their room that night :P
For your information, there are few unique and cozy cafes and coffee shops located along the street. Soul Kitchen and Moontree 47 are just located a stone throw away from Ryokan Chic Hostels. Soul kitchen serves simple but awesome brekkie as well as amazing Tiramisu cake.

There are two Ipads @ the chillax corner which are available to be used at anytime.
Besides, you are allowed to borrow books from the shelves @ the reading corner and enjoy your reading on the sofas that were lining along the hallway.
As they reached around lunch time, we headed to Little Genting @ Island Glades to fill up our empty stomach. *Grumbling*
The best Mochi I had ever tried! *Likes*
Wanton mee
Poh Piah~ The turnips were very soft! *Love*
The Char Kuey Teow was really good! Must try!!
Penang asam laksa! *Noms*
Beach @ Batu Feringghi is one of the must go places at the Island. As all of them have never been to Penang Hard Rock Hotel, so we decided to go and have a peek! We managed to take some pictures at the beach before heading back to town for dinner.
Hard Rock Rock!!!
My lovely and pretty buddies ^^
Here comes our dinner! We had dinner at Gurney drive and again, there were few dishes which we had already eaten in the afternoon but of course, there were new dishes which we haven't tried.
One of my favorite - Pasembur. My choice of tofu, cucur udang (fried prawn), fish balls which came with shredded cucumber and turnips topped with sweet and a bit spicy sauce.
Fried oyster with eggs
Ikan bakar (Grilled fish). *Highly recommended* The stall is located near to the Char kuey teow stall which is the first part of Gurney Drive if you're coming from Gurney Plaza.
Fried Carrot Cake
Squids with convulvulus
