I cannot remember when was the last time I took a ferry across Penang Island to the mainland. When I was very little I think. Just two photos on board on the ferry.


And yes, too heavy post process i think. I promise, never again?
…. maybe…..

5 minutes away from the Ayer Itam Assam Laksa is the popular tourist attraction, the Kek Lok Si Temple of Penang. Mind the photos below with the typo. It’s Kek Lok Si, and not Kei Lok Si.
Spent some time walking around the temple before we took a drive off back to Kuala Lumpur. Here are some random shots of the temple while we were there.


Love the arrangement of these lantern in the roof.

These lantern leads on to the entrance of the Pagoda @ Kek Lok Si. To enter this part of the entrance, it cost RM 2.

On of the ceiling top.

After a few flet up on top of the pagoda


The last photo was taken at almost the top of the Pagoda. A joint pano, hence you see 2 devins.

It’s the time to celebrate after a job! It feels great when all the tension building up to a wedding came to an end. That was exactly how light hearted I felt when we pack our bags and check out from the apartment we stayed in during my last Penang shoot. We were then scouting for food. Penang is food heaven. Plenty of local food. Let me rephrase that. Plenty of good local food. It boils down to the diversify culture back in the history days, when McDonalds and KFC weren’t food of choice.
Ayer Itam’s Assam Laksa is huge. Myself and Devin took an adventurous drive from Penang Town over to Ayer Item from a trusty map we bought from SHELL station. Not the best map in the world, but we didn’t really get lost.
I’ve got Devin helping me to direct the traffic for me even. On the other note, it was election fever. Hence the banners.
When I say huge, I meant well known. - not really the place being big and comfy. Sights like this are very normal in Malaysia. Hawkers dining is quite a culture if you ask me. Kinda gives me the home feeling.
It’s a small stall with some small aluminum top with metal legs table. You know you are in the north when you are sitting on these kind of table. I don’t remember KL having such setups. In Taiping, Ipoh…. yes.
Two bowl of assam laksa! I’ll leave wikipedia to explain what it is for those who haven’t tasted such wonderful threat. Assam Laksa is available everywhere in Malaysia, but not all of them are great. Heck, not all of them are served in these kind of china. The cockheaded bowl gives original feel to what assam laksa should be.
It wasn’t expensive comes KL standard. I think we paid RM 2.50 per bowl. Considering we paid like RM 8.00 for Char Kuey Teow earlier that day.
No, I don’t usually eat like that. That photo was for the camera.
Not many streets are like this in KL anymore. Once upon a time, maybe. This is Penang. A panoramic photograph of Penang’s Ayer Itam. A photograph which was taken just right outside our assam laksa shop.
And this is our assam laksa story… :)
