This is a super long overdue post. Since I have an upcoming trip this month, I would like to finish this post before I start procrastinate another travel post. Also, I really want to keep this here for memories sake. Let's start!
It was a 2 days 1 night trip to Penang. My three friends and I planned it just a month prior to the trip. Here's our itinerary :
12 March 2022
6.30 a.m depart to Penang from our place in Sepang, Selangor. Izyan and I drove there and it took us like 4 to 5 hours there. So we would arrived just in time for lunch.

| It felt like almost an hour on the bridge |
 |
| It was a smooth journey, no traffic congestion at all luckily. |
We definitely planned way ahead to stop by at Nasi 7 Benua Koo Boo Cafe for lunch. Located at Jalan Tun Dr Awang, Taman Tunas Muda, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang.
I thought it was going to be a portion of rice because the concept is having 7 different types of rice on your plate which includes Nasi Minyak, Nasi Tomato, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Hujan Panas, Nasi Lemuni, Nasi Putih and Nasi Kacang. Also these rice usually will be served with different sides or protein but it was just those rice and you can just add any side that you can find in a shop for nasi campur. I was not amazed at all.
Then we straight away went to our hotel!
We booked Frame Hotel for the night. Located in Georgetown which is quite near to all the places we planned to go to.
We had the Family Suite with 2 Queen-size beds and there was also an extra sofa in the room. The room was spacious for the four of us. It was a really complete room, literally provide almost everything you need. No kitchen but they provide you a mini fridge. Also, in the lobby they had this water cooler for you to refill water if you need.

| The view from our room. As you can see there, limited parking spaces. If you're staying during the weekdays, you need to pay for those parking spots. |
We booked through Agoda, can't remember the price but it should be less than RM350.00 and worth it.
Then we went for a stroll in the city of George Town.
It was scorching hot that day, we had to get some sweet shaved ice. The difference from the ones we had in Ipoh was in George Town they put ice cream in it. Mostly coconut ice cream. For more or less the same price, I prefer shaved ice from George Town.
This was really weird but we actually came across of what we thought was some kind of a fire station museum.
 |
| As a non penangite, it does not look like a real fire station. TOO CUTE. |
 |
| Then we realized it was a real fire station because everything looked too real. |
We also found this cute cafe called Mangga at the Blue Mansion. Nothing much to say about it because it was about to close when we arrived but we loved the ambience. If you guys have been here before, let me know your thoughts on it and if you guys are planning to go there, share your experience too okay.
It's not the end of the day yet. Will continue another half of day 1 in my next post!
