We took in two separate cars. Me and mom ride with Jia Ning and Jia Min while my dad goes with my uncle, aunt and Jia Hao. It's a good thing I ride in the car with the two sisters. And I'll tell you why later :).
After our lovely breakfast at Homestyle Kopitiam, we head along to the main city by crossing the bridge. According to Jia Min, who is the driver, they are building a second bridge. So people won't have to cross through Butterworth to get to Penang. Pretty cool, right?
We went to two places. First stop is the cendol store. And like Day 1, it's filled with people. I think this one is more than Ipoh. More and more people arrived as the morning progresses. When I taste the cendol, it taste very much like peanut butter soup dad always love to drink back home. I manage to take a photo of the queue too. It was their idea for letting me take the photo btw =_=.
Second stop is a flea market at a mall (I forgot the name). The other party haven't reached yet, so we went on ahead first. There are a lot of varieties to see there. We bought a sewing kit on how to make your very on homemade teddy bear. Finally, we were met up by the others inside the air-conditioned mall. It was hot outside btw. They told us to go on our own first.
Inside the mall, first we went to a bakery shop (similar to Bake Ideas and Bake With Yen) called "Sugar". I saw so many new ingredients that we don't find much in KL. Jia Ning bought a bag with a recipe called 'Red Velvet cake'. Inside the bag has all the ingredients on the recipe attached to the bag. After all, she likes baking things :). Mom bought some food colouring. I also took some photos of the cakes displayed outside the shop. They look so cute.
Then we went outside. Ahh! Smell the fresh air and what a nice scenery of the pier.
We went into the bakery and they bought back some bread. Later, we went back inside and suddenly I saw a yogurt store. So, I give it a try. And it was delicious :). I ordered a mango flavoured yogurt. To the sisters, it taste horrible. Lol!
Next is a restaurant with Snoopy and Charlie Brown characters. Looks pretty new to us. Some of the things displayed were similar to the ones in Universal Studio Japan. Mom should know all these because she went there last year for a student exchange program.
After that is lunch at a duck rice restaurant. I didn't eat much because of the yogurt.
Third stop is another market near Kek Lok Si temple. This time the other party did not joined us. The temple is located at the top hill below the market. And the biggest attraction of all is the huge statue of The Merciful Goddess (Guan Yin). We didn't go up the temple due to the heavy traffic flow. 
At the market, we bought something back for the whole family to eat, which is Asam Laksa (another famous food in Penang) and Lobak. We also bought ourselves a sugar cane drink to refresh ourselves. The Asam Laksa has to wait for awhile so me, mom and Jia Ning went to buy a hat which I was hunting for. And this is the reason why I followed them. Get the picture now?
Reached back to the house at last. What a day! My legs were kind of wobbly and I'm sweating from the heat. We enjoyed the wonderful food brought back from the market.
In the evening, they took us to a steamboat hawker store. Very delicious. We ate a lot that night. And again, it was also filled with people.
More adventures to come soon on Day 3 :)
