Clan Jetties

After a later than usual start because of staying up late for the football ... we slowly made our way to the famous Penang Clan jetties. Slowly, because on the way we stopped for brunch (nasi kandar - mutton curry)! Oh and ice tea, which is served with 'condensed milk'. We did make it to the jetty eventually via more street art and heritage buildings.

The first jetty was more ramshackle in its appearance and maybe a little more authentic than the second, which was packed with souvenir shops.

We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food court where we tried mee jawa and chee cheong fun, which was on our Penang food trail map.

After our Penang food delights we caught the free shuttle to the opposite side of town to see the famous Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion and to visit the camera and chocolate museums!

Our evening was spent enjoying a sweet honey chicken dish with mixed curry sauces in Little India. Yum! Next, we sampled a seasonal fruit juice at a small street stall called Umbra, which was slightly sour but really refreshing.
