Eat and Eat

My colleague and I shared one room and our HR colleague booked a better room for us.  We stayed at Traders Hotel and had a Traders Club room that we can enjoyed some privilege but as we checked in quite late, only can enjoyed the complimentary breakfast today.  Very quiet place for us to enjoy our breakfast.  We ate some only (just want to see the special privilege to dine at the Club Lounge) as we met up with supplier and another colleague for local breakfast.

Had nasi lemak, poached eggs and toasted bread at Penang famous breakfast place.  Very local food and the bread was toasted by using charcoal.  Nice smell and it reminded me of the bread I ate when I was a kid.  My grandfather had a food stall in a coffee shop last time and we used to eat the bread there.  It tasted the same.  Yummy.

It rained since yesterday night and we decided to go to G Hotel to have coffee.  Purposely went to see how G Hotel looks like.  It is a better hotel and too bad we could not book a room as it was fully booked.  Had a glass of apple juice and enjoyed the cool weather.

Next, we met up with supplier's bosses and had lunch at a chinese restaurant.  The food was rather nice and we chit chatted until around 3pm.  Our supplier drove us around the famous Gurney Drive and some other places that served good food.  

We were quite full and decided to go to the mall beside our hotel for coffee/tea.  Chit chatted till around 5pm.  Then we went to eat the famous Char KwayTiao at Jalan Siam.  Very traditional way of cooking using charcoal and the stall standing at side of the road.  Real nice.





After that, we quickly rushed back to hotel and there was already jam due to peak hour where everyone going home after work.  Managed to get a cab and zoomed to the airport.  Our flight was at 8.40pm and we left at around 6.50pm.  

We were caught in the jam and managed to reach the airport at 7.50pm.  Luckily managed to check in on time.  Phew...  Luckily the cab driver droved "recklessly" by going against the traffic and hence "jumped queue".  Otherwise, we will miss our flight and really need to stay one more night liao.  Our supplier told us to purposely miss flight so that can continue to eat tomorrow.  Hahaha.

Back home at 11pm.  So tired.  Very tiring trip.  Rushed to airport both in Singapore and Penang.
