Merry Christmas — Evening Edition
We spent the afternoon indoors as I managed to complete the first video from our first day in Penang. With the sumptuous SmokePapa BBQ feast still percolating in our perut, we agreed that dinner needed to be something no frills and down to earth.
At 6:00pm, we ventured out again, walking across Jalan Transfer onto Lebuh Dickens, then turning right onto Jalan Penang.
The Octopus Bridge Horror
We continued southwest until we reached the Octopus Pedestrian Bridge and rode the elevator up. To our horror, the floor was strewn with human faeces — and when the doors opened, the walkway wasn’t any better.
We gingerly watched our step and made our way across to Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong. From there, we continued southeast and crossed onto Lebuh Lintang.
We walked to its end, turned right onto Jalan Magazine, then crossed over onto Lebuh McNair.
The Long Walk to Dinner
We walked almost a kilometre southeast along Lebuh McNair until we reached Cecil Street Market Hawker Centre — only to find it closed.
So we doubled back, walked onto Lebuh Cecil, then turned right onto Jalan Gurdwara in search of an alternative. That’s when we spotted Deen’s Maju — a Nasi Kandar joint we’d been meaning to try for ages.
Our Nasi Kandar, together with a round of drinks, came to RM29.25 (≈ USD/EUR6). Simple, hearty, and exactly what we needed.
Walking Back to The Green House
After dinner, we decided to walk home. Our route:
- Continue along Jalan Gurdwara
- Cross Jalan Dato Keramat
- Cross Jalan Macalister
- Continue until we reached Jalan Penang
- Turn left onto Lebuh Dickens
- Cross Jalan Transfer
- Turn into Lorong Popus
- And finally, back to The Green House
A long but satisfying Christmas night walk.
What’s Next
With nothing planned tomorrow, we’ll probably let our feet lead the way. Stay tuned for wherever Penang takes us next!
