More Penang Delights

No:15 BKK Lane Penang
During a recent visit to Penang we came across interesting food and sights,like this beautiful facade of a home in Bangkok Lane No:15 Shirley & Jasmine Cheah's home where we stayed,and also where the old meets new,the Buddhist Spire and the newly constructed building side by side.

There are a myraid of sights and sounds awaiting you every step in any direction you take while walking around Penang's streets,from yummy peach desserts at Cottage Crepe to fresh honey oranges at the Pulau Tikus Market!



Whether it is patiently awaiting your turn at "Nasi Kandar Line Clear"eating place off Penang Road or rushing for a table at New Lane Hawker center it is worth the time and effort exploring these eateries around.

There are many clan houses and associations around the island and each one is unique in its history and architecture refelecting the clan's structure and heritage,which was brought over from China in days bygone.

This is the Clan house of my ancestors in Penang island built in the 19thcentury when they came to Malaysia from China.The Kongsi was refurbished and preserved for future generations at the cost of millions of ringgit and restoration & maintenance is still ongoing.
