On Thursday, we took the earliest ETS train to Butterworth (10:30am). It was to be a 2D1N stay in Penang.
Waiting for the train to start from Ipoh railway station.
At the Butterworth railway station.
From the railway station, our friends took us for lunch at....
Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Ong Cheng Huat Seafood, Butterworth.
Can you see the small lane?
We have to drive through this short single lane to reach the restaurant.
In front of the restaurant.
Clear blue sky and coconut trees.
We saw this car while we were waiting for our friends at the Butterworth railing station. Coincidentally, we saw this same car at the restaurant.
Inside the spacious restaurant.
We ordered a bottle of palm wine or referred to toddy by the locals.
When it is fresh, it is fragrant and sweet.
Blanched baby octupus.
Clams or lala.
Fried rice vermicelli or beehoon.
Crispy fried seafood pancakes.
Steamed red snapper.
Mango salad or mango kerabu.
Fried yellow noodle + rice vermicelli.
Fried mantis prawns with sticky sweet sour sauce.
Thanks to our friends for this filling and yummy-licious seafood lunch.
After lunch, our friends took us to the Sunway Carnival Mall, Butterworth to help us digest our lunch before taking us over to Georgetown to check into the hotel.

I found the following murals near to the Neo Hotel, Penang when we were out for our morning walk the next morning.
This is at the Pusat Kegiatan Guru, Dato Keramat.
This is also near to the hotel.
Our morning walk was cut short when it started to drizzle.
Linking to Monday Mural.

It's a really nice car, but what an awful image on it. Do you think it is advertising something? I am impressed with the train, it looks so modern and clean.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. The train ride was very nice and comfortable.
DeleteThat's a nice car. Makes me think of Spiderman! Love all the seafood you all had. Oooo...that Thai style mango kerabu! Slurpsss!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, STP. Yes, I like the mango kerabu very much.
DeleteThe mural is quite unique and fun to look at. The clams are so colourful there
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roentare.
DeleteVery flashy car! That first mural is from Alex Face, a street artist from Bangkok. We have one of his murals here in Perth. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Nancy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sami for hosting.
DeleteThank you Nancy for introducing us to this nice seafood restaurant. The toddy must taste very nice if add shaved ice to it, yummy! 😋 I guess you all ate a lot of delicious food in penang, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. I enjoyed the toddy and the lunch very much.
DeleteThe food looks awesome. I love octopus.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. I had a tough time chewing the octopus.
DeleteClams look yummy. I saw mesh pattern shells for the first time.
ReplyDeleteThank you, RTC.
Delete...Nancy, you saw some wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteThe area where the restaurant is located looks calm and beautiful, and I also liked the Ipoh railway station. Palm wine is prohibited to sell in our state, but people continue to consume it in secret. Beautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan. I only drink the fresh palm wine. It won't taste good once it started to ferment.
DeleteWonderful food, you went to a great restaurant with your friends. And trains and stations seem to be the same everywhere! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie. Hugs. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you, Julia.
DeleteI really your dinner of baby octupus, Fried rice vermicelli, Crispy fried seafood pancakes, and fried yellow noodle + rice vermicelli.. What is fried mantis prawns? It's the mantis part that I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Nancy.
Cruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul. Mantis prawns is marine crustacean with a pair of legs that resemble the praying mantis.
DeleteA fun trip and that food looks amazing. Wow.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a great week.
DeleteVery colourful murals.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteI'm so envious that you have a good rail transportation system where you can go from place to place. We don't have anything like that where I live. If you don't have a car you are pretty much out of luck here.
ReplyDeleteSecond the food!! The palm wine, I have never heard of such a thing. The blanched octopus looks like I might like it even though octopus I've had is quite chewy. I'd love to see what seafood pancakes are like as well.
I hope that you had a great trip!
Thank you, Yogi. I like to travel by train but still need a car to move around the place. I couldn't enjoy the octopus because it was too chewy for my week teeth.
DeleteMango salad sounds so very good!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. It is very appetizing.
DeleteMe dio ganas d el fideo. Te mando un beso. https://enamoradadelasletras.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you, Citu.
DeleteLots of great food. Looks like you ate well.
ReplyDeleteThat first mural is awesome and he second is quirky. Great you found both and each so different.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
DeleteFood looks good there.
ReplyDeleteIf you drive such an eye-catching car, must be good at parking haha.
Thank you, Stacy. That is why I can easily recognize that car.
