Esplanade Area [Penang]

On our first day in Penang, we took to exploring the streets immediately to orientate ourselves. But of cos, we had to fill our tummies first. Had chicken rice at Tho Yuen, a restaurant with 80 years of history!

I liked the rice, very mushy and reminded me of Malacca’s chicken rice balls. The chicken was a tad salty. Then, it was the start of our little adventure!
Some of the sights we saw…

Kapitan Keling Mosque

St George’s Church – Southeast Asia’s 1st Anglican church
