Christmas Day │ CEKI Nyonya Restaurant and Beyond!

Christmas Day!

We slept in and arose at half Past nine. As is the case on Christmas Day in Penang we made reservations for lunch at a Nyonya restaurant nearby.

We all got ready and left the hotel at 11:35am to make the ten-minute walk to the restaurant situated along Jalan Bahari.

Two years ago we had dinner to celebrate Cat's birthday at Bibik's Kitchen Nyonya Cuisine; last year we celebrated Cat's birthday at BaBa Phang. It was only natural for us to complete the trifecta of Nyonya restaurants along Jalan Bahari with our visit to CEKI Nyonya Restaurant today.

We were amazed by the decor soon as we walked in, and I got a little carried taking photos of the interior.

We carefully perused the menu before settling on:

Assam Pedas Fish
Tau Ewe (Thick Soy Sauce) Bak
Plain Omelette
Tetae Lemak (Sweet Potato Leaves)
Rendang Beef
2 Lemongrass Juice
1 Coca-Cola

Our traditional Straits Settlement Christmas lunch came to RM332.20 (approximately USD74/EUR71).

We settled the bill then walked a short distance to the bus stop in front of 7 Eleven along Jalan Penang. Here we caught a free CAT bus to KOMTAR to renew our Mutiara bus pass. I then walked into Maybank to replenish our Federal Reserves before walking across KOMTAR to catch a Rapid Penang #101 bus back to Jalan Transfer.

We alighted at the Wisma MCA stop and walked a short distance to Mydin Emporium to pick up some provisions before returning to our hotel to get out of the intense heat.

Be sure to catch our next video as we check out a hot pot joint near the hotel!
