Its all about the food

All the Penang guidebooks say Penang is a foodie's heaven and they are absolutely right! We've just come back from dinner and we are completely stuffed on less than £3 each! We had chicken and spicy satay sticks, chinese vegetable soup, duck with rice and more soup (which we had ask whether it was finger bowl or soup..... very thin, but quite tasty).

We have tended to eat in for lunch for most days and always have a plate of fruit including mangosteen, paw paw & limes, nachies (like satsumas), bananas, grapes and mango and sometimes some really nice cheddar and biscuits too!



We've also discovered the delights of iced coffee which they make really thick and lovely here, sometimes we have a mocha and sometimes just ordinary, which is anything but ordinary!

Tomorrow evening we are pushing the boat out and having an "all you can eat and drink" buffet for £10 a person.

We have done some other stuff apart from eating - today we caught the free shuttle bus that goes around Georgetown and stopped off at the Quay and the Marina. We went in and out of all the shoe shops looking for some suitable shoes for swimming in for when we go to the island - Koh Siboya - next week. We found some but they were too big for me and too small for David! We did buy a head torch though which is also recommended for the island.... have you seen the pics of where we are going? If you haven't then take a look www.thai-west.com.

Now about to watch Wall-E - so "that's all folks".........
