Quick post.

Busy!!
But i’m super hardworking because i got many adverts to post up in a row so i’m writing this so you can read more stuff even though i’m super busy with a lot of things (cleaning house, attempt to cook edible food to save myself, advertsss and Project Alpha) so stop complaining already! I’m a hardworking blogger!
Anyway, i just came back from a 2-day trip from Penang and i got a whole credit roll here! First of all i want to thank Suetli (possibly Audrey and Jiamei, i dunno whose it is, but i will thank Suetli la so she can pass my thanks to whoever concerned) for the free air tickets to Penang! It made my life so much easier ok! Now the best char kuey teow in the world is just one hour away! 
And then i want to super thank Carolyn. Super mega ultra big hug for you! I know you were super busy but thanks for driving us around and the hotel arrangements!!! I help you blend carrot juice next time (inside joke, don’t bother). ^^
And then thank Suan and her overly semangat friend for Mee Sotong! And then and then thank everyone who gave me useful Penang tips on Twitter (although i kepala pening dunno listen to who).
Ok done. Vain pix time.
Headgear from Baci, RM29.90
My attempt to curl hair with flat iron major fail. Suetli HELP!!!
Side french braid.
Fishtail braids. I super love it because it’s tight (but give a loose braid look) and you can even do it without rubberband at the end!
Anyway no offence but Penang’s people are really old fashioned.
:X
Some of Penang’s yumminess!
Carolyn brought us to this hawker center near our hotel (Northam Hotel), everything quite nice!!!
Asam laksa near Kek Lok Si. Damn cheap lo like RM2.70. I dunno i’m not a big fan of Asam laksa so i find it ok only.
Mee Sotong at the hawker center opposite Fort Cornwallis. Suanie’s fav!
LORONG SELAMAT WHAT TURF.
I went to Sister’s Char Kuey teow on the first day. I didn’t like it at all. I can cook better ok!
(ok i know u dun believe me. Fine. i lied.)
So we went to Lorong Selamat the next day and we were the first customers ok!!! I was very very happy cuz the aunty seem to be in a nonchalant mood (which is a good thing, right? Cuz i heard all Penang people hate her cuz she PMS everyday) and her daughter is super silly blur. Damn cute. I asked her what her name is and she had to whisper to me (Mei Mei) and then asked me a lot of irrelevant question that made me go ?!!?!.
Anyway, first customer also means cleaner wok and less chance getting cancer. Yay.
Nomnomnom
Anyway! Have you eaten Prawn Mee in a cup? (Ok, Hokkien mee. Hokkien prawn mee. Whatever.)
(Aiya i dunno la. Penang’s food very confusing. Hokkien mee is KL’s prawn mee and KL’s Hokkien mee is Penang’s Dai Look Mee and Penang’s laksa is KL’s asam laksa and KL’s laksa is Penang’s curry mee have i confused you yet?)
Nvm.
So, we went to the beach, drank, shishaed, whatever. Then we went to tapao Green House Prawn Mee for supper and go back to hotel and rest!
And then, i realized there’s nothing i could eat it with. No bowl. No chopstick. Nothing. FMLed.
Then of course, a cheesnius like me can always find a solution to all problems.

okaeri kirei hime, seems like penang was good after all the slight niggly hotel problems you were having beforehand
hopefully talk to you later…got some weird ass dream to tell you about!
oh
haha! well no wonder Penangs people are old fashioned! check out the name of the clothes shop – “Old fashion boutique”
the headgear looks nice!! wah, i thought what kind of mixtures…tapi is Prawn mee lol
tapi!!!
ive been reading ur blog for quite some time, but this is my first time commenting
anyway, love ur loose braid… any chance u will post a video on that?
also, high-5 to you. Im not super big fan of asam laksa myself, and many of friends said that I am not a true malaysia :!:
thanks for commenting!!!
i love curry laksa but i cannot take it too often cuz santan upsets my tummy :sad:
for the braid, refer to below comment.
a tutorial on fishtail braids would be ace. When you’re less busy perhaps
to Bebeelle also: you can watch the tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUNHs1AytiU
i really love your hairstyle, its so hot and sexy but i don’t think i have the meticulous hand and patient brain to learn it…sigh.. and the food looks good too… maybe some char kuey tiao really is overrated…have to be careful next time when i go to penang.
very easy one!!!
Prawn mee in glass is unique. Where it is??
its from green house. but served cheesie style.
i totally agreee! the sister’s char kuey tiao was totally disappointing lor. and she was so rude when we went there… walked from grand continental hotel some more.
u know there’s a coffeeshop opposite grand continental hotel, there’s this stall selling char kuey tiao by a small ch woman and it’s the best we’ve (7 adults and 2 children) tried in penang. next time u go must try!!! btw never stay at grand continental hotel. stay at continental hotel can liao cause the grand is not grand one.. my 8 year old bro said, ‘what 3 stars? no star at all!” when he stepped into the bathroom…
btw we had like six rounds of char kuey tiao in 3 days so our judgment can be quite trusted one.. haha. and i swore never again to look at any char kuey tiao.
she wasnt rude to me but i think the food not nice. i summore order yam cake, taste like crap/
I MISS CHAR KUEH TEOWWWW BOOHOO
nah this one is non-streamyx-fucuked up real Australian flag lol!
tomo no more liao
its making everyone sick. boohoooooooo
you are so pretty. how come never see you in magazines?
got la but u prolly wont recognize me
oh … puhliz … u call dat pretty?!?!?! then all gals at chow kit area will be damn pretty
ya shut the fuck up.
ohh mann;
it might be so wrong to make this comment here;
but..
i have sup long hair till my waist;
but the ends are turning brown = not healthy; ):
im tempted to cut it short.. maybe shoulder length;
but.. i cant bear to cut my dear hair off. )):
what should i do, mann!?
&& i scare i will feel insecure without them, lol.
just snip off the split end, no need to go so extreme one.
I just came back from a 2day trip from Penang too! And I stayed in Northam too! Coincidence much!?
ya!!! what did you eat?
char kuey teow, asam laksa, prawn mee, grilled fish, muachi, chicken skins, balitong and omg i lost track!
And I just made myself sound like someone who haven’t been eating for ages!
eat so much, tapao supper somemore…zzz
thats why im sick now, FML.
You should have gone for hardcore char koay teow at this roadside stall along Siam Road (day time) or Anson Road (night time). The uncle use arang (what’s that in English ah?) to fry wan. He have to keep fanning the arang and there are tiny red amber flares that jump out. Super nice! And he’s a pleasant man, too. And his son NEVER gets any orders wrong. Ever!
Damn, just remembered that arang is charcoal in English. -_- Writer fail.
no bloody way lo.two plates char kuey teow now oredi sick until seven colors.
Cos you eat at wrong place!!!
I found that the aunty one is not that good, the uncle one is better in Lorong Selamat.
what!!! but everyone say aunty cant go wrong one!
Aw I’m going to Penang in a week and I can’t wait to eat the oh jien!
Hehe you’d better patent your prawn mee in a glass before someone steals the idea. lol
haha. but they can do cup keuy teow. or cup oh jien. or cup satay. whatever.
could you please post up a tutorial for the fishtail braids?
i can’t get them to look loose like yours
posted a link in the above comment!
Hi cheesie, i really like ur eyebrows. How do you make it so light in color? Do you just use that eyebrow tint thingy only?
If you don’t have bleached eyebrow, you use the eyebrow mascara, and then draw it super light eyebrow pencil. very very hard to find in Malaysia!
I bought this self-tanning eyebrow pencil thing from Japan it’s damn amazing might blog bout it soon.
