Little Penang Street Market

Little Penang Street Market is a cultural and art market held on Upper Penang Road every last Sunday of the month (subject to change if falls on public holiday).

I was here in both November and December market. It's definitely worth for a walk if you happened to be here on a Sunday. Lots of talented people and impressive art or product are all gathered here.

I guess I will just show you the pictures instead of mumbling whole page of story, enjoy!

I luv old stuff~

 

Handmade soap

Christmas Deco

They are made by beans

 There are signature food stalls too~

The center stage on the street inviting different people and organization to perform every month. There are choirs and dances, Christmas caroling during Christmas season and Wushu (martial art) Performance.

Not forgot to mention, Penang has successfully implement the Recycle Dustbin in whole Georgetown. I do hope our resident and tourist can utilize it properly, way to go for a green environment!

And I bump into my secondary school teacher's origami booth from Modern Origami Studio.

Little Penang Street is a great place to walk. Especially meaningful when getting a present for a special person because most of the art creation or handmade product are one-and-only-one in the world.

Pik Nik, another nice cafe in Georgetown

I finally found my time to check out the cafe that has been famous for quite sometimes, the Pik Nik Cafe.

I was attracted by the courage of the owner in its strong colour usage, like everyone did.

The food and beverages have a reasonable price. But still have room for improvement on food variety and tastiness. I wish they have few main course. :)

The Pik Nik have its own style compare to other cafe on heritage trail. Definitely successful in giving comers a nice ambient place to chill out with friends, lover and family.

Especially loves every song plays in the cafe. If Pik Nik's owner happened to see my post here, I really like to copy your songs collection. Haha...

The owners with great taste.
