Padang Brown - Penang famous hawker center

Our beauty sleep last Saturday was interrupted by a phone call from hubby's office. His boss needed him to be in office around 11am to review one assignment. Since it was coming to 10 when he received the request, he decided to wake the two of us up too. Brilliant idea indeed!

We hurriedly got dressed and let Leia drank her milk as hubby suggested that we should tag along. Since he promised taking us for a meal straight after work, I agreed. Hehehe....

So, by 11.40am, we were already at one of Penang famous eating places - Padang Brown. It is famous for its Yong Tau Foo, Poh piah, Lok Lok, Pasembur, Hokkien Mee, Coconut drink.......... and lots more. Hmmm, I like the place a lot as it has plenty of Penang popular hawker food I named above.

But we were a bit too early. The hawkers have just arrived and was busy setting up their stalls. We were told to wait at least another half an hour. So, while waiting... we took Leia to the nearby children playground. Now that she is a bit older, we allowed her to explore more. She has been "promoted" to playing with metal play items. :)

Taking on the captain role once again!

"Ready?"

"Yay...!!!"

"Oh, where am I?"

"Hey, Leia...."

"Leia, mommy's here"

Having enough of playtime with pants and shoes soiled with earth, we marched to the hawker center for a satisfying meal.

We - the early birds got to choose the best table

Assam Laksa for hubby. Tasty! (Yup, he let me tried)

Char koay teow for both of us. Good!

Hokkien mee for me! Super delicious!

Leia settled with playing with the stools while we enjoyed our meal...
