Delicious Durians In Penang

For this trip, our friend booked 2 rooms at Hotel Neo Penang for 1 night.

We reached the hotel just before 1pm.

Waited for our room keys.

There is a cafe next to the hotel lobby.

Opposite the hotel is this old coffee shop.

We were told that the economy rice (chap fun) here is very tasty.

Our rooms were on the 15th floor. I forgot to snap photos of the room. For RM130, we had a comfortable room with 2 single beds, TV, air-conditioned, kettle, tea and coffee sachets provided, in the room, hot & cold water, and hair dryer provided. 

View from our room.

Dark clouds looming over the island.

Looking down from our room, we can see the roofs of the older buildings.

It is a mixture of old and new high rise buildings.

We rested for about an hour in our rooms and then it was time to go out again for our durian snack.

Durians in plastic baskets.

We went for the non bud grafted "kampung" or "village" durians.

I think we had about 3 fruits with mixture of different tastes.

The durians are of thick creamy textures. ome are sweet and some with a tinge of bitter taste. I love the ones with bitter taste. We were told by our Penang friend to just enjoy the durians and worry about the payment later.

With this gadget, there is no need to use a knife and save the person a lot of effort.

Opposite this roadside durian stall, there is a stall selling roti canai durian but it was not open at that time. We wouldn't mind ordering some of this bread to try.

So let us feast upon him and grow strong in the Christian life,

leaving entirely behind us the cancerous old life

with all its hatreds and wickedness.

Let us feast instead upon the pure bread

of honor and sincerity and truth.
