Part 2: Tropical Spice Garden

After the tiring activities with the climbing & swimming.. those cute little tummies were making sounds. heheeee.... Terus serbu food.. Everything gone in seconds..

Everybody meet at Tropical Spice Garden at Teluk Bahang.

At the entrance

Here at TSG, everybody have to prepare the food from scratch - the traditional way. No blender, no chopper & no microwave ;). So all of our family members has to lend their hand in the food making. MakLong (Mommy's eldest sister is the chef at TSG). You can read about her from her website. She has been featured in NST, Going Places (MAS) magazine & her students (mostly tourist) came all around the world to learn how to cook traditional Malay food. You can come & meet her if u are in Penang :)

Part 1: Monkey Beach & Penang Light House

Yeay!!! Daddy drove us to Penang last Friday. We were so excited to meet all the family. After 4 years we hardly seen all the family together (all in one 1 event). The family from Mommy's side. We have 1 TokMama, 3 Aunties (MakLong, Mak Ngah & CikNini) & 9 cousins (Johan/Johana, Nana/Nuha/Adam/Humaira/Hannah & Aini/Rayyan).

In Saturday morning, the plan to to hike Muka Head to see the Penang Light House then Monkey Beach. Daddy, Mommy & Eizan did not follow. 3E went there with their Aunties & cousins... They had lots of fun! They climbed 240m hill to go to the top. Full of sweats & it's worth the journey :P.

Once they went down, everybody jump into the water.. it's Monkey Beach fun! Yippi...

Then Daddy, Mommy, Eizan & TokMama meet them at Tropical Spice Garden for the food.

Sume macam singar kelaparan.. hehee... Since they can't eat at the beach (full of monkeys that will attack anyone with food...). heheeheeee..
