[Jess Baby's Corner] Makan Buddies Meet-up + POCARI SWEAT RUN 2015 + online loot

Image
After a half year hiatus, I finally met up with my ‘Makan Buddies’ in July. This time, our meet up venue was at Suntec City, and we decided to settle on Korean cuisine.     We settled at Guksu Noodles House , and I MUST  do a special shout-out for their Korean Fried Chicken, as it might be the only reason for us to come back for more!       Each bite was amazingly good, and was 'Heaven Scent' (haha).

The Lithuanian-born artist, Ernest Zacharevic left his mark in Penang with all his beautiful wall paintings over George Town . Penang Street Art has been an appealing highlight for all tourists from all around the world.  George Town, Penang has therefore developed into a vibrant street art area and scene! Boy on Chair I love these fortune cats! The street art includes metal sculpture as well, and these are made of steel rods   Little children on a Bicycle Uncle Mike got us tickets to Khoo Kongsi Temple which is located in Cannon Square in the heart of the oldest part of the city of George Town . It is a large Chinese clan-house with a highly decorated with ancient  Chinese ornaments, and this marks the dominant presence of Chinese culture in Penang .   The famous Khoo Kongsi is the grandest clan temple in the country...
