Queuing for a best serving of Nasi Kandar

Continued from The view at Gurney Drive.

Later at night we stopped by at a food stall besides the mosque of Kapitan Keling.

It is famously known as Nasi Kandar Beratur. People would queue up (beratur) just to enjoy the special rice meal which is Nasi Kandar, a Pulau Pinang speciality.

The stall opens at 10 pm every night. But people including me started to wait as early as 9.30.

It was quite a sight looking at the stall finally opening after the long wait. You see the same place is operated by a different Nasi Kandar trader. Yet the 10pm trader is known to offer a much tastier meal, hence people's willingness to wait and stand in a long queue.

There, we finally got our share. Arguably it is the best Nasi Kandar in Pulau Pinang.

The view at Gurney Drive

Continued from The man-made lake at Teluk Bahang.

Driving close to the city of Georgetown we soon reached the place called Gurney Drive.

From here one can enjoy nice views of the Straits of Melaka.

If I'm not mistaken Gurney Drive is one of the most expensive prime property in Pulau Pinang.

The man-made lake at Teluk Bahang

Continued from Dry spell at Titi Kerawang.

Traveling on northwards to Teluk Bahang, one can find a quite vast body of freshwater.

See the man-made structure in the picture? That is the dam which created the freshwater lake.

Dry spell or not there seems to be still plenty of water here.

Then again this place is not for dipping nor swimming. Still it is enough to just enjoy the sight...

Dry spell at Titi Kerawang

Peace be upon you all. Some 3 weeks ago me and family made another trip to Pulau Pinang. Today I'd like to feature some of the places visited.

There is this place called Air Terjun (waterfall) of Titi Kerawang.

The last time I stopped by here was probably in 1997. I really can't remember what the waterfall looks like.

So I thought to have a quick look. Then I realised the dry spell which is still running as I wrote this means you can hardly find water.

The stream has practically turned into a foot-path.

People are hardpressed to find water. You have to look hard to find small puddles.

Perhaps there were much water if you venture further inside. But I didn't have time then. So this should be enough...
