Chingay Parade 2024
We picked you up again late in the evening when Cat heard a commotion downstairs.
Truth be told, we had been standing by for the Chingay Parade, which was scheduled to pass along Jalan Transfer. Based on last year’s experience — when the parade only reached our homestay near midnight — we didn’t expect it to arrive so early.
But at 7:30pm, the parade suddenly appeared along Jalan Transfer.
I immediately ran out of the hotel toward the main road, while Cat took a moment to change and joined me shortly after.
From several Facebook pages, the parade was described as a vibrant cultural celebration featuring giant flag performances, dragon and lion dances, Boria, Indian martial arts, and even a photography competition. It began at Padang Brown and would end at Padang Kota Lama — a free, colourful showcase of Penang’s heritage.
Dinner Break
After about half an hour of watching the parade — which was starting to get backed up — hunger got the better of us. We slipped away to Nana Tomyam, just a few doors down.
Without thinking too hard, we ordered:
- Mixed Tomyam
- Beef Soup
- Plain Omelette
- 2 Sugarless Iced Tea
Our simple dinner came to RM23.00 (approximately USD6/EUR5).
After eating, we made the short walk back to the hotel.
What’s Next
Stay tuned as we ride the ETS back to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.
