Joo Hooi Cafe, Penang Road

located at lebuh keng hwee on the Penang Road, this coffeeshop is a crowd-puller as the famous teowchew cendol stall is just right outside the shop.

the blogger’s family also tried its hokkien prawn mee and assam laksa, which is equally good.

the blogger is captivated with all things antique, including the interior of joo hooi cafe. another thing which doubles its ”old and gold feel” are the songs which were being broadcast – the classics of anita mui, sam hui, teddy robin… ah.. back to the 70s!

prices are unavailable as the blogger was distracted by the food and her grumbling stomach, and a weak brain at remembering things.

Aurora Court, PENANG

this is the blogger’s first visit, and her family’s second.

aurora court is a furnished leisure apartment, situated in pulau tikus.

we had the two-bedroom suite for our 2 nights stay at a rate of RM168 per night, and the suite comes with living, dining and a kitchen, but it’s without any facilities, besides a mini gym.

But for the rate we’re paying, I guess this is fair deal.

The blogger believes that there’s only around 20 suites available for rental - from a one- to three-bedroom suite, as well as a penthouse.
