Have Perut Will Travel...: PEN Day 2 │ Morning Stroll: CHOWRASTA

Penang Day 2

We awoke bright and early to the soft sounds of a drizzle.

It was still drizzling when we left at 7:45am. Brendan decided to sleep in, so it was just the two of us this grey, misty morning. We walked out of Popus Lane, crossed Jalan Transfer, and continued along Lebuh Dickens. A few hundred metres later, we crossed Jalan Penang.

We had arrived at Chowrasta Market.

Breakfast at Old Market Food Court

We strolled through the market before darting into the Old Market food court for the first order of business: breakfast.

We grabbed the first available table and ordered:

Drinks — RM4.20
Western Breakfast for me — RM6.50
Kueh Teow Th’ng for Cat — RM6.00

All in, our first Penang breakfast came to RM16.70 (≈ USD4/EUR3) — an absolute steal.

Chowrasta Morning Market

After breakfast, we continued wandering through the morning market. Cat picked up two pairs of her favourite Nyonya pyjamas for RM25.00 each (≈ USD/EUR5).

With the sky still overcast, we bought two umbrellas for RM20.00 each (≈ USD/EUR4).

A short while later, my tummy began to percolate — which meant it was time to head back to The Green House for a quick pit stop.

What’s Next

Be sure to catch our next video, where we ride the Rapid Penang buses and continue our Penang explorations.
