last time its called toilet bowl but because the management change meaning new General manager she asked the owner to change the name....so i ordered a french toast and it sucks.....they just use a normal bread and the peanut butter was so little....the french toast in Kim Gary is better......then we walked around...did a little bit of window shopping...then SC called saying thy are waiting for us at the carpark....RJ was the driver..then we waited for the general manager and operation manager from Rakuzen group to arrive.....RJ lead them to this place called Seri Tanjung Pinang....the place is very nice...the bungalows, villas was ready....and its facing the sea....now they are building a serviced apartment and the ground and first floor will be a very high end restaurant....the houses there are not cheap...especially the villas cost about 11 million....and people who owns boat can actually park there.....the developer is so freaking rich...he actually gonna buy another 3 lands meaning buliding another 3 island but that will be in 12 to 15 years....i would say the lady was stupid....how could we just wear normal shoes and hers is high heels to site....its so dangerous....and the girl was wearing skirt somemore....RJ say they are stupid in doing the marketing and bringing us to the site without waering any safety....good in talking only....

this is where they park the boats at the sea

ha-ha....well after all the site visits it was dinner.....RJ brought us to this old shops which they served good prawn mee and i give thumbs up....it was good...another roasted pork again.....ahhhh i eat until i scared....then he ordered ais kacang the unique of is the walnut ice cream....thy made it themselves....after dinner we went Gurney plaza...another shopping mall in Penang....as usual visit the malls see the tenant mix and the place...from ground floor till seventh floor....its very high up....so it was time to go.....something happen.....our car tyre pancit...all of us were looking for the tool kit and SC just bravely sat on the motorcycle with the security guard to thier management office....its quite dangerous actually u never know what will happen to u....but manage to bring in two indian guys to help us out.....after almost an hour everything was done....gave them 40 bucks which is not worth it all but no choice.....we were surprised to see that its a broken glass that cause the flat tyre.....the whole incident was very funny when SC hop on the motorcycle and RJ said bye bye to her....all of us laughed at her .....the next morning we went tyre shop to check on the tyres again before we leave Penang.
