Bye bye 流浪生活

Phew finally 2 weeks of 流浪 on the island had finished

Began with simple bag + camera + a bottle of water, using bus as main transportation method

Ended joining my cousin's family travelling around and out of island as well for nice food

Even tumpang in their new car ^^

Thursday morning was as usual cousin's wife took leave, staying home and prepared nice food for me as breakfast + lunch
Had my first try on Korean instant noodle, a little spicy, not spicy enough compared to what's coming later
Cousin was back around evening, fetched uncle + aunt + their 外婆 from the newly renovated Pg airport
Looks a little KLIA standard but heard it's not as great >.<
The first meal with these trios of 长辈 was in a rather 隐秘 organic vegan restaurant
It was a japanese cuisine based restaurant, promoting natural food as the veges in fried rice we ordered were slightly cooked, but the taste was not bad at all
The shop was also filled with antiques stuffs *I wonder how the owner got his hand on them*
Not many photos were taken within these few days coz most of the time we're just stopping by a place, eat and ciao haha
The 外婆 was surprisingly mobile and active *had been a long time since I've met her*
The day itself was Mid-Autumn festival, had some mooncake brought by them all da way from Mlk
and the moonlight was spectacular O.O

*Night-mode lovely blue-ish nite sky* =D

woke up veryyyy early on the next day, becoz we're going for short hike!
Hiked a small part of the bukit bendera of PG, the check point they called as 三号
the route itself was not very tough but it was superb and others were surprised when the 70+ grandma made it up looking as easy as us *clap clap* really impressed alot of uncle aunty resting there haha
There are some simple kitchen tools up there provided for hikers and families
many people climbed to there and had breakfast with coffee, had some chit chat moment *so warm*

*before went out for hiking*

Then went shopping + lunch + tea time in the high-classed shopping complex, 1st avenue

Linked to Perangin Mall and Komtar as well

Then the main character of this whole event, my 表姐 joined us for the dinner

The whole family were in PG to attend her convo in USM and had studio photo shoot as well

Had our dinner in 仙景楼 in New Park (some place with this name) and the dishes were too much for us 

(7 of us plus cousin's wife parents)

Becoz most of us have had snacks in Old Town of 1st Avenue right before the dinner

Kesian my cousin had to drive twice in order to send all 7 of us using his MYVI to the restaurant as well as going back home afterwards 

Hence, we used the free time waiting for him to come fetch us (me, his wife and the main character) went to a pet shop + animal showcase shop for a tour

saw some cute normal pets (puppies, guinea pig) and rare pet as well as fishes =D entrance was free >.<

Too bad no photographing was allowed

During the nite also the younger bro came with his gf from Taiping joining us in da house

Total pax count reached highest point = 9 persons

Third day was the busiest, all dressed leng leng for photo shot in studio and the time was a little rush

The time spent in studio was pretty short as we're also rushing to send her for convo at 1.30pm

Sat separately during lunch time (gossip time)

Me + 表姐 and both her soon-to-be-sisters-in-law

Talked about this that there those these blablabla (mostly about differences in her brothers) hahaha

So when they came to check out us, suddenly the talking stopped : P

Dropping her and later the parents into the hall, it's our freeeeeee time

not wasting much time, we went straight for the Mee Sotong near Fort Cornwallis 

This is the most spicy food (but one of the best) I've tried throughout this whole trip

The noodles was fried along with 豆干,印度饼, tau geh, and I heard some tomato sauce

Then added in 鱿鱼 marinated with extreme spicy sauce (appeared super red in color)

Overall, it was super spicy + delicious especially when combined the noodles with 印度饼 which is able to soak up all the taste

the 豆干 did the opposite things in which it doesnt soak up the essence, kinda acting as the buffer, for us to take a rest from the overly hot + spicy taste

Lucky for us to had PG version of coconut shake which I preferred over the Mlk version

the main difference is M's version is ice blended coconut juice while P's version is added with soda

P = more smoothy and much more helpful for the thirst

M = colder with tiny bits of ice

The similarity = coconut juice + a scoop of vanilla ice cream haha

The grandma was super sporty, she joined us in having these extremes foods as well haha

Ta daaaaa the main character with her parents + bf ^^

The campus was damn crowded and it's super hard to locate or meet up with a person @.@

Took some times to look for them and got trapped in jam when we're leaving the campus

Didn't even move for 50m within the 40 mins, then some fellows start U-turn for another exit 

*Brilliant Idea*

Saved us and our dinner haha coz the dinner was not anywhere near

2 cars, 11 persons drove all the way to Kedah for river fishes dinner

Tasted an extremely unique fish (heard it's called as Shun Hock in Hokkien), the appearance of live fish looks like surface of stone and they were almost non mobile *or just waiting to be cooked*

The meat has no taste hence nid to eat together with the kicap

but the meat is very 结实 unlike other freshwater fishes served where the meat pecah if u try to poke it using fork

This 1 more like jelly, can poke and lift it using fork

and the bones of this fish is also very little + simple, imagine the fish head = O, fish bone = ----

Tail: >---------O Head

just like that, hahhahaha

But we gotta nid the pro to hunt for tiny tiny bits of meat hidden within the bone

After trapping in jam + driving so far for dinner, the day ended when we're home around 2330

Finally the last day, sending the trios to airport + main character to campus

my cousin made us a dessert, Affogato (I googled it, thought it was avocado hahaha)

Expresso from coffee machine + a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Combination of smoothy + a little bitter taste of expresso with icy cold sweet vanilla ice cream

end result was quite nice and tasty, but suitable to be served in small portion only

Will get 腻 if the portion is too big

Now back to KL, home of younger brother of PG's cousin to tumpang 1 nite then only back to Mlk on Monday

Finally ended, this 流浪记 hahaha Time to head home and get back to driving mode 

Quite surprising to look back, I had not been driving for half a month + a day to be exact

Had been depending on all sort of transportation except flight, hence got a little darker but it was very very fun + memorable, what if I do something like this once a year? *run away from job once in a while*

I'll think about how it works haha

END
