Now here is one place that’ll get ya bowing (kwai) and ‘lock’ed on for more. Hence the name Kwai Lock. Haha..i just made that up..Technically, the phrase 'Kedai kopi' or coffee house is correct since the place serves almost perfect coffee. But then again, Kwai Lock is also a food court full of lil stalls each selling different stuff. I am actually amazed at how a humble coffee house/food court successfully attracted me to come here twice in my two days visit here in Penang. What intended to be a simple breakie before a visit to the famed Siamese temple nearby turned out to be a way to start your day! So ya, youre right..The restaurant is situated near Jalan Burma, Penang

What a great way to start your day with sufficiently ‘kaw’ coffee.. And coming in numbers we ordered quite a variety of stuff, in which none of them failed our standards. Well, the char kuey tiew wasn’t all that great la but it was just nice; not too oily and well done. Their wan tan mee and chee cheong fun is a must try.. I know, I know these are very common dishes (you can get them anywhere in Msia) but somehow, this place makes them slightly if not very differently..In a way, its unique having said, it tastes delicious too! To describe them in words, their wan tan mee has clear egg sauce (something like the wat tan hor sauce) in addition to typical the blanched egg noodles mixed with black sauce. Something u dont get anywhere. When the dish came, we even thought they sent the wrong dish. The chee cheong fun on the other hand is special in a sense that it looks super simple yet packed with flavor. The secret lies in their special har kou sauce (prawn paste). Just wonderful..sigh..my mouth is watering already.. Other dishes worth mentioning include their banana and yam fritters..these are quite pricey..i remember..and also, their pak cham kai looks great too..but i din have the opportunity to try them..

Poser to the max? I think so too..lol..thats me btw and what a great place to take photos of old buildings and structures.. i think Penang is a great place..great food, nice place for shots, island where most of the chicks come from (and so i heard)..but, i think i'd get bored of this place if i stay here long enough..Thank God it isnt so but i wouldnt mind coming back to this place once in awhile..

So, here are some pixs for the record and for the memories.. all great shots taken by Aaron except for the ol building collage...i didnt have a DSLR back then, but now that im looking back at my compact cam photos, feel a lil intimidated to upload them tim.. and yeah, this was prolly one of the last events i took using a point and shoot..no regrets getting a DLSR..

We were told that the best Sunsets @ Penang are found here at Penang Bistro. I for one wanted to check it out myself..turned out to be..... there was no sunset that day -.-"..i meant (there is sunset everyday, just that..) the sunset on that particular day wasn't impressive.. Like any other photographer our wish would be a nice little yolk setting at the horizon..that just saw a faint blue sky slowly turning dark..Nonetheless, sunset bistro is undeniably a nice place to chill out..had a great time by the beach with friends, some finger food and just great Paulaner..

So, if you were wondering where this place is, Sunset bistro is located behind Parkroyal hotel along the famous Ferringhi road, Penang. A nice stroll along the beach during evenings before or after a nice meal and perhaps along the bazaar like road would prove perfect for a nice evening plan. Talking about the bistro, the place has a nice reggae touch to it; coconut-leaf huts, throw in a surfer board or two for deco, a parrot, some light and a bar counter. Vualahh!..
