Small Aquarium with big fish~ Batu Maung Aquarium

Never know there is an aquarium in Batu Maung, Penang. We discover it accidentally (spotted the road sign) when we drove along Jalan Batu Maung towards the end where the airport cargo is - a good spot to watch aeroplane take off and landing behind the Penang International Airport. It is a small scale aquarium with 2 sections - fresh water fishes and salt water fishes. The fresh water fishes are display at the pond at outdoor; while the salt water fishes is display in a big fish tank indoor - inside a air conditioned auditorium that looks like a cinema hall for us. Initially we did not put up any expectation since the ticket is only RM2 per pax. Out of our surprise, there is a giant fish among the salt water fishes in the salt water tank! and quite a lot of species were display for a small scale aquarium. What a beautiful accidental discover. Do give a short visit if you happens to be in this area. 

Hard Rock Hotel, Penang

My ex college mate from Singapore visits Penang over the weekend and stay at my place for a night. Before send him to the airport to catch his flight in late afternoon, we first head to Song River Bak Kut Teh for brunch then decided to drive up to Batu Feringghi for beach. We chose to go to the beach behind Hard Rock Hotel, also take a opportunity to take a look at this newly open not long ago Hard Rock Hotel in Penang. Compared to our first visit last month at night, day time has a different feel~ more lively and crowded.
