Became a fan of your channel after seeing your experience in Singapore and started watching your other videos. Please keep them coming! Your children are really blessed to have a dad like you.
You are so bless to have 3 adprable kids. They really look amazing! Penang is actually my late mum's hometown. When I watch your videos, they remind me of her...
@@teresang106 Oh so sorry for your loss, maybe you can come up here for a holiday and visit sometime! It's not expensive to visit Malaysia now 😀 June is durian season!
Have you been to Singapore recently? There are so many changes there too... but I am happy to say the quality of food in Singapore is still very high. I love going there to eat!
Glad you enjoyed your day trip here and hope you'll enjoy the rum and raisins choc you snagged, mate. Your daughter's quite adorable and really obedient. Hope you guys had a good, safe ride home.
thanks so much.... Rum n Raisin chocolates and ice-cream can no longer be found in Malaysia! It was great to be back in Singapore and to experience the amazing progress here!
New CPF rule . Finally resolved . Wow got windfall soon . It would have been nice if u had stayed in SG longer to revisit those familiar places when you lived here , down memory lane . 😊 many changes here
I used to live in Clementi... And I visited Ngee Ann Poly a few years ago the last time I was here. Everytime I come there are changes and development!
Singaporean here. found your channel as i'm heading to Penang next month! Penang airport really changed a lot (part 1). I'm looking forward to Penang CKT, Prawn Mee and Chendol!
Oh wonderful!!! Thank you for the support. You will be spoiled for choice... my recommendation for 1. CKT is: th-cam.com/video/-cIfUvnp-jY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eGzxf36ksg9uL2xo 2. Hokkien prawn mee: th-cam.com/video/KXSeQJf6QCw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-OZs4k4VWx5J6K-_ 3. Chendol I prefer Swatow Lane Ice Kacang and Chendol: maps.app.goo.gl/PRKWSyyAa7rgYihk6 There is a small kopitiam next dooe and they have excellent wanton mee (Maria's WTM) which opens in the afternoons after 4pm till night. Welcome to Penang!
When you here next time at Lavender Station, a 15-minute walk should bring you to Crawford Lane and the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles. They closed at 8.30 pm. After your BCM, you can walk to Golden Mile, which is nearby.
I find it amusing n interesting that you sound exactly like a Singaporean but Singapore seems foreign to you. But when I go Msia I can tell who’s Malaysian.
I lived in Singapore for a few years in the early 90's. Before this trip my last visit was before the pandemic, probably around 6 years ago. So I do know a bit about getting around but there have been many changes especially the MRT lines. I passed by Clementi where I used to stay when I was living in Singapore, and it is almost totally unrecognizable to me now. 😀
Sit bus.from Singapore back to Penang! back side pain siah......hehehe Anyway im heading to Penang from Ipoh! see you when i see you-dont forget to say "Hi"😅
@pishedbloke seriously when I posted my above comment, I paused the video when I saw the old chang kee part, and toast box came into my mind. Then few min later, only came to know that you also checked out toast box. My family and I love toast box so much that we dropped by a few times during my last trip to Singapore.
@@pishedblokeYes, there are still some CJ outlets around Klang valley. I love Wendy's. It's such a shame that Wendy's didn't work out well in Malaysia.
Ya lah... actually I got some footage of that. The problem is the bus lets off passengers at Bidor, Tapah, Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh, Taiping, Kamunting and Butterworth! So many stops, we finally arrived at 9am next day. I think without the stops we could reach by 7am.
@@pishedbloke they call it "express" I paid "express price"!! In Singapore, I boarded from Golden Mile Complex, instead of going straight to Tuas Chk Point, the driver went to Boon Lay for another Pickup, next to Jurong Point! I thought okay, maybe this is normal...when the driver uses the Woodlands checkpoint, I know I am in for that "pirate" bus ride whereby the driver will go on to pick up his sideline pick up arranged by others. We stopped in; JB (2 stops) Must Melaka Negeri Sembilan Kuala Lumpur (2 stops) Ipoh After Ipoh I sort of lost count. Left Golden Mile at 10 am We arrived in Georgetown almost midnight!!! I was so furious, that I marched to the ticketing office and banged the table demanding they reimburse me. We got the free ride back on a real "express" bus. Very unreliable.
Ha2. A few shops after Toastbox at Lavander is where I go to for my Assam Laksa fix. Not as good as in Penang but better than nothing. They sell Penang hawker food at Singapore prices.
Wow.... let's open a char koay teow stall!!! Hahahaha. Nowadays you can also buy assam laksa paste from Lazada... I tried it before, OK lah... just add more of the laksa leaves, bunga kantan, cucumber, onions, pineapple and mint leaves... and of course fish meat and bihun! It is a company called Hola. Just Google Hola Penang Asam Laksa. :)
My recommendation for Bak Chor Mee is the stall at kovan hawker centre just above Kivan MRT next time u come. Dont go 大华! SG is too ex for Malaysians especially during Taylor swift concert.
It was for memories sake and also to share with my daughter the experience. It really was not bad at all as we just slept all through the night. I used to live in Singapore and took the bus back to Penang every holiday those days (in the early 90s). Also the flight times didn't suit my schedule.
I had been on one-to-one trips with my eldest before, I thought it would be nice to go one one with my second, just the 2 of us. And it was nice to strengthen our bond more.
Hi!!! Wah so long already, I was there from 1989-1996... Life is slower here in Penang I guess, and cost of living is lower. Do you come back to Penang often?
@@6Sambora hahaha you are very sharp! Yes, my buddies are also ex Malaysians, they have stayed on in Singapore and live here. I went to polytechnic in Singapore and worked here until I was in my late 20s
😂😂😂 Yeah but you also have to add in the travel times to and from the airports, plus 2 hour check in time for international flights. The bus was seriously not thaaaat bad considering we slept through the night. 😅😅😅
