We went there right after a 5 minutes walk from Jetty. That place looks like supplying prawn fritters,'lo bak' and 'dou gan' (toufu fried with some meat). We asked for eating there and the boss seems good with this. We order all types of what they have. Lobak and prawn fritters are very delicious as they just come out "JUST FRIED". The chilli sauce is very good and make a perfecr match for these fried food.
It was a satisfying kick start for kenneth and me.
Lets keep going, we continue walk to Cintra Lane where we planned to stay overnight. Sadly, the super cheap hostel was closed. What! but we dont worry much, there were alot of alternatives and at least there is a big standing TUNE HOTEL nearby, so no worries for shelter. Walking along Cintra Street, we saw a nice aunty selling Curry Chee Cheong Fun. 
If you like this, you can find this Curry CCF in Cintra Lane (Lebuh Cintra) and look for Kim Maou Cafe. You can get a home made curry taste for the old lady. Behind where we sit also served red bean soup. You can have either boiling hot one or iced cold.

Next, we walk to Komtar and take a bus to Gurney Plaza for the movie " Angels and Demons ".
i am not going to talk about the movie here, its only restricted for FOOD.
Night time falls, we get another hostel which is named Crytal Hostel where it is located at the end Cintra lane and intersect with Lebuh Chulia. From the intersection walk another 5 minutes on the right. That place is kinda clean and economical. RM 40 for two ppl room with air conditional. Good Deal.
For dinner, we have mamak food. I get the Maggie Goreng with Tom Yam taste. The mamak stall is situated along Penang Road beside the big polis station. Beware of bird shit there, as we saw extermely lot of bird shit under the two huge tree there! Got half full in the stomach, go further up to Upper peang Road where it is a very happening place in Georgetown. There are many pubs, clubs, disco there. That time when we were the was the EPL match between ManUtd and Arsenal. ManUtd just need to grab at least one point to become the season champion. Nah, no football, although its very happening but we went there for Burger.haha there is a burger stall outside SOHO club with very good burger. I had a beef + egg burger.

We had a overnight stay in Crytal. The next day...
Once kenneth opened his eyes, " david, dim sum lo"...aiks...We get out ass up from the bed and head to Anton Road for the dim sum, recommended by the hostel manager. When we reach Kimberly Road and Carvarnaon Road intersection, we saw Sher Thor Kopitiam. hahaha we ate in advanced. I got myself a LOH MEE. Its kinda good with the sauce is not so saturated as what i dislike the one sold in my school cafe. Aiks...This one is very good and 80% of the tables got his Loh Mee.
Nice, we continue our seek of dim sum. we walk walk walk for a long distance and finally see Giant hypermarket as the Anton Road landmark. We got there finally after a....20 minutes walk?
Whoa, that place is full of people! The whole food court is theirs.
The siew mai is good, the egg tart is good, the ccf is good, the char siew pau is bad, the lotus leaf rice is so so...This is how i summarised this dim sum as i am 70% full with the previous Loh Mee.lol...Mistake made.haha...at the end we play scissor paper rock to finish the tables food.
Whoa,what a fullfilling breakfast. Actually there is more to eat. Along the Burma road where is half way to Anton road, there is a shop sell really nice fishballs named Hoai Ann. But we really cannot afford to fill in our stomach, so save it for next time.
We back to hostel and pack our belongings back campus. Its been a habit to tast Cendol whenever i am in Georgetown. This time i wanna try the underdog one. There is a very famous Cendol in Penang Road. It is a big contrast between them. One with big crowd, the opposite one with one, two people. Same price from both. So i curious, why the underdog stays there, it's like open a supermarket in front of Tesco. So out of curiosity i buy cendol from the less famous one.

3-5 seconds

"Zep..Zepp...Zepp...Shurrrpppp....
Tasted almost the same. But i found the cendol of this stall is greener and shorter ( which is not as good as the famous one, greener means more coloring, shorter...who wants short short one) then the red beans is smaller, and this cendol is sweeter than the famous one comparitively. So it could be more syrup that the coconut sugar...Erm i think that distinguish two o them. But why there is people buyng from him...
One, people who cant wait....
Two, some motocyclist wanna drive thru buy cendol, they cant get cendol from the famous one by "ride" thru...
Three, curious people like us....~sweat~
Before that we wanna get some 'tam bun pia' and 'tao shar pia' back. For those, i recommend Him Heang and Ghee Hiang. Kenneth wanna have both for his mum and i just wanna have either. Unfortunately, Him Heang HQ closed on Sunday. So we only can get Ghee Heang, the oldest brand in Penang for the pias.
Thats basically my georgetown backpack experience. I got myself a RC car in Penang Street for RESEARCH PURPOSE. Its very cheap. Total all RM14 including batteries.LOL...Going to dissemble it in 3 hours.hehehe....
