Hello Penang! We're here again for another round of 100degree Steemit Sharing Session, this session is presented in Chinese (中文) by our speaker, @davidke20 together supported by Team Malaysia Witness, @bitrocker2020, @iipoh06, @vamos-amigo, @francesaw and myself.

Journey Up North

Our journey up north started around 10.30 AM after fetching @bitrocker2020 and headed straight up to the highway to meet up with @davidke20 and @francesaw halfway of the journey for lunch.

Traffic is slightly more due to school holiday has just started, but it still not as crowded as the festive season. We reached Sungkai for lunch at one random Chinese restaurant called, Sungkai Choy Kee around 12.30 PM.

Lunch!

After our Lunch, instead of using back the highway to Penang, we decided to detour on some back curvy village road 😅 around Bidor heading upward Chenderiang, Tapah and exit back to the highway at Gopeng.

We reached Penang around 4 PM before the peak traffic swarming out and checked in our accommodation which is near to tonight's venue, Prangin Mall and yes first thing to find in Penang was Cendol but we didn't go for the famous cendol but instead, we just head straight to Prangin Mall for some alternative Cendol 😬

Penang 100degree Steemit Sharing Session

Early supporter @iipoh06 and @vamos-amigo arrived very early on the scene before we even arrived MSOGO, the crowd of participant started to come in around 7 PM with refreshment served on the side while the staff of MSOGO prepping up the equipment and seats for the session later.

The crowd for this session is much larger than the previous event but @davidke20 has no problem handling with this awesome energetic crowd and hopefully, we'll have even more crowd on the next upcoming session organised by @currykhoo.

Yumcha Session

Follow up with a yumcha session with organizer @currykhoo, this time he brought us to Penang’s Legendary Duck Kway Chap at Restaurant Kimberly along Kimberly Street. Kway Chap is a Teochew noodle soup which consists of flat wide rice noodle rolls and served together with meat-based broth.

It's something that I haven't eat for a long time ever since the same food which can be found back in KK has closed for business. Beside the Kway Chap, we also have tried the Fried Egg with Oyster and some of the local dessert drinks.

After our late dinner, we walk towards few blocks across the street to have a drink at a bar which @currykhoo is bringing us but in the end, we never reach because we stumbled across this very Chinese style Bar, Man Chu which at first, I thought is a Chinese dim sum restaurant and my mind went like, we ate just not long ago and now we're eating again?

This is the outside of the bar, deceiving right?

But I was wrong when I went in with the EDM music playing behind those soundproofing walls, this indeed is a disguise hidden bar in the city. Inside, the whole bar is very ancient Chinese style decoration, even the waitress is wearing some traditional Chinese clothes.

The Bar

Live band, very nice voice

Beers are served in a Chinese mug instead of glass 😅

It's an awesome night hanging out again with @currykhoo and Patricia, and it's time to get some rest as we're heading back to KL tomorrow.

Journey Down South

Morning Steemians! Getting ready up, check out from accommodation and head over Lee Huat Cafe again for some breakfast. This time, I tried the Lor Mee which is somewhat different as it's not served with the thick noodle but the thin yellow noodle

Back here again

My Breakfast

Ready to head back

After our breakfast, it's time to head down south back to KL which took us around 4 hours with a halfway stop for a drink at RnR Tapah. Along the way, a new idea of competition struck us while exchanging conversation and watching some video. Stay tuned for upcoming post update about this competition that I'll be hosting 😉
