Saturday Night

What do you always do at Saturday night? Today, after swimming, Francis and me decided to go to Campbell Street for our dinner. We park at the road opposite and walked to Campbell Street.

It looks lively from outside, anyway, nothing special inside. Hence, we walked to Lorong Leith nearby.


There is a so call "largest" and "new" hawker center named "Red Garden" . Various of foods from many contries: Philipines, Thailand, Japan..... Many foreigner have their dinner at here too. Obviously, I chose Thai food as usual. This is the only Thai stall, providing good food and good service with handsome staff :P.The tom yam really taste good.
Can see all the ingredients? Worth RM 6.00 with the ingredients and the service provide.

As usual, Francis tried the Green Curry rice.
It tasted good too.

After the dinner, we walked around and we see things that we never see in the morning or by driving. We see the real Penang.

Many people come to Penang because of the beaches, food and the shopping complexes. No, Penang is never only about these. There are many different prospect of Penang.

Along the walk, we see many prostitutes and many desperate men. All the prostitutes standing quietly looking for their potential customer and approach them when they found any. The men also walking around to look for suitable target, approach, negotiate and both walked to the nearest motel. This is the dark side of the Penang, the cruelness of reality.

Anyway, Penang have the traditional style of living which is hidden in between the old shops, old houses among the modern building. This is the side where we can and should enjoy.

This is one of the old shop... The old houses....

Modernize old houses.........They renovated and trnsform the old houses to guest house.
Not only accomodation but they provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, internet service, car rental, tour and tickets to many places.
This Saturday night was a special night. By walking, we open our eyes and see Penang from the other prospect. We never enjoyed the night so much and we found a new activity that we can do at night now.
