PEN Day 6 │ Breakfast in Air Itam • Tawfid Pawanchi!

Air Itam Morning

We were up bright and early and left The Green House at 7:30am. Brendan had spent the night online with his friends and declined to join our morning excursion.

We walked to the bus stop in front of 7 Eleven along Jalan Penang and immediately caught Rapid Penang #201 to Pekan Air Itam.

We arrived around 8:00am and took a slow stroll through the morning market before making our way to the hawker centre.

Breakfast in Air Itam

We browsed the stalls and settled on:

• Cat’s Kueh Teow Th’ng — RM5.50
• My Roti Canai Telur — RM2.20
• Round of drinks — RM3.20

A humbling grand total of RM10.90 (≈ USD/EUR2).

Simple, comforting, and very Air Itam.

Back to KOMTAR

We walked back to the same bus stop and caught another Rapid Penang #201. By 9:30am, we arrived at KOMTAR.

I headed to Maybank to replenish our Federal Reserves, then Cat went for a potty break.

Although we had just eaten breakfast, I couldn’t resist the Nasi Lemak and very fragrant Teh Tarik at Tawfid Pawanchi. Together with Cat’s iced tea, the bill came to a mind boggling RM4.20 (≈ USD0.90/EUR0.80).

Penang prices never fail to amaze.

Back to The Green House

We hopped onto a CAT free bus back to Jalan Transfer, and from there, walked home to The Green House.

What’s Next

Stay tuned as we wake Brendan up and head out again — this time to Fort Cornwallis!
