Our first stop in Georgetown is the Fort Cornwallis.
The year 1786 written on the signboard of the Fort Cornwallis is the year everybody who took "Sejarah" in their secondary school education would remember. It was the year Francis Light arrived in Penang and basically marked the beginning of the British colonization of then Malaya.
The ticket pakcik was so styllishly dressed that we couldn't resist taking picture of him.
The first thing we saw upon entering the fort was this statue... yes, the statue of Francis Light.
The weather was so hot, that Mummy even used an umbrella under a shed. As for me, I'd just woken up from my slumber, hence my "dissatisfied" facial expression.
Soon, I warmed up and there I went, running about under the scorching sun.

When you visit Fort Cornwallis, you will not miss taking a picture with this cannon.
As I said, the sun was so hot that we didn't really want to walk too much, so we took picture of the town hall and the city hall from far.
Next came our lunch time. You know Penang is famous for their food. Here, we have tried various food, such as Penang laksa, char kuay teow, nasi kandar, bak kut teh, Penang chendol etc and for me the best is chicken rice.. hehe
After our lunch, we walked along Penang Road and came across the Chowrasta Market.
And this is the famous nutmeg, only available in Penang. Products made from nutmeg such as "minyak angin" is highly sought after. A must buy in Penang.
And finally, we reached one of the Penang famous landmark - Komtar. By then, I was all sweaty and even my hair was so unkempt.
After that, we went back to rest and in the evening, ah chek and gu gu bought a cake to celebrate Daddy's and Mummy's birthday.

Notice that we do not have many pictures of Penang food. That's because everytime the food was served, we were salivating too much till we forgot to take pictures of them.
