Penang Hill

We hit Penang at 10am in the morning. Late? Indeed. I hate the bus. But what can I do? From Sungei Nibong bus station we took the taxi to Penang Hill. Queue at the train station is already packed. Sigh. Penang Hill is still a main attraction even for the local people.

After 15 minutes queue *and very difficult as there is no good order, everyone just press themself into the entrance gate. :(* we in to the inclined train that bring us up to the hill on 10 minutes rides.

View of Penang from the hill is nice indeed. The sea and the town blends in a good harmony. While there are lots of people on the hill, I actually couldn't find anything else interesting other than that view.

We find some food vendors that sell kuey teoy and some other dishes Penang' specialties. I order this top Ais Kachang while Jeremi order 2 *two!* fried char kuey teoy. The ice is a mix of fruits, with red bean, shredded ice and floated ice cream on top. Yummy.

As there are not much to see *there is actually a Hindi temple with nice decoration* we decided to go down the hill after the meal. We get the most-front seat and the ride down is indeed bit scarry as if you are in a roller-coaster rolling down the steep track.


Penang Hill again next time? Only if the train queue can be maintain to be better.
