Amazing Hunt 2011 UNESCO Heritage Penang

A total of 63 teams were participated in Penang UNESCO Heritage Amazing Hunt. It was a good game although the event management wasn't so successful interm of controlling the station to station traffic. Is a bit messy when everyone reaches at the same task station and everyone didn't queue but rush and push to get the Task Master to sign their time slip. 

Well, the rules of the game was,
1. Everyone start from the same place and end at the starting point too
2. Everyone will be given a pink envelope, a brown envelope and a white envelope.
 a. Pink  - location map direction. Map consist ONLY direction Up, Down, Left, Right with Starting point (X) and Ending point (END)
 b. Brown - the task & challenge
 c. White - Time slip (to pass to next task station)
3. A team of 5 will need to hold their hand upon arrival, report themselves with group name at each stop and pass the time check for the task master and they will sealed it once task completed. Once unsealed will be disqualified. Hold each member hand and leave the stop for next stop.
4. When you find the stop with the logo and 2 purple vest marshals (task master). That will be the right destination. If unfound, return to the starting point and start all over again.
5. Walking and no running.
6. The earliest completed all task will be the top 10 winners.

The game kicks off at 8:45am and ended at 2pm. Basically, this game is more on team work. Very fun IQ game. Will participate more in other similar activities.

Hock Chuan Heong Restaurant


Finally I found some ‘zhu cha’ (in hokkien mean Cook & Fried) which is quite suit my appetite. The authentic Hokkien - Teow Chew dishes in Penang. FYI, the choices are limited and they normally find u seat instead you get your own seat. Mostly are the elderly workings in this old shop. But the foods there are nice.


We ordered a few signature dishes but due to headcount constraint, there’s still some other dishes that I not able to try. Such as the fish and also the fried oyster Perhaps next visit. =p

The best food I like is the fried Tanghoon. 
Fried Tang hoon - is quite a common fried glass noodle but I love it!

Oyster yellow noodle are one of their signature dish but, I don't quite like the taste of the yellow noodle. 

**MUST TRY** 
Hei Kean - Deep Fried Prawn, very fresh & big prawn! Love it!

**MUST TRY** 
Bak Kee Soup - Fried blended pork coated with tapioca flour. Very 'Q' when u chew on it.
