The Night Before Christmas (Northern Edition)

One power nap later, KH and I were ready to start our Penang adventure. First order of business was dinner. The Tribe and my mum were already waiting for us at Lorong Baru, which was just a short walk away from our hotel. Plenty of good food at that open air night market. Before I tucked into those Penang goodies, I started with curry noodles that my sister packed from Kuala Sepetang. Who would have thought that a pack of cold curry noodles could taste so good? Imagine when its piping hot! According to my mum, the curry is made from a seafood stock that's full of prawns! Then we started on the yummy Penang food~ Char Kway Teow, Lobak, ABC (the syrup they use is out of this world), and the vile Heko CCF. And it was such a small world that we bumped into Sol at the makan-makan place.

We still had time to kill before midnight mass at Our Lady of Sorrows, so went searching for dessert. Mama Bang was a mistake. After we had cam-whored at the shop, we took one look at the menu, and bolted. Took us a while to locate Roots Desserts Bar which specializes in the sweet stuff. Shared a trio of pretty desserts. By the time we finished, it was time to get to church, which was actually very near to where we had dinner. Interestingly, a large nativity scene was set up at the church entrance. Got back to the hotel after midnight. Drained!
