After visiting Floral Fest we went to Upper Penang Road as our next destination.There is a little market there, and they have it on every first Sunday of the month, from 10am to 5pm (I think).
We reached there about 11am.
Being in Penang for quite awhile now. I have always been working and didnt really have time to see Penang and try the food etc. I could be leaving Penang soon, I dont know. Anyway, back to Penang Street Market. It is located at Upper Penang Road, near to Cititel Hotel and Momo, where all the happening clubs are.
It was kinda cool to visit such place, I felt like a tourist =) They sell mainly Malaysian crafts and Malaysian food. Prices of the crafts are quite reasonable. Food wise, they have Malay food, Pasembor, traditional kuih etc.
Pretty host for the show.
P/S: Credits to Greg for the pictures. =)

Handmade sourveniers: bags, batik, Rabbit ornament, wood craving crafts
Another thing is, you can enjoy all kinds of performance @ Penang Street Market. Those who wanna perform in this street market have to volunteered themselves, so the performace may vary from month to month.
First up, there was this foreign lady who can sing non-english songs very well. Her voice is merdu sekali. She sang a Malay classic song, Mandarin version of Rose Rose, I Love You. And also a German song.
A philosoper from Universiti Sains Malaysia citing his poems with all his heart out. His voice was so loud, he shoudnt have used the microphone =)
Pretty host for the show.
Next, it was the highlight of the show - Caperiera. If you have watched America's Next Top Model cycle 12, you will surely know what Caperiera is. Caperiera is a Brazillian martial art. Some cool stunts by the performers:
At 1pm, the show had a break for one hour. We went to the Seventies Kopitiam, in Upper Penang also. The food and drinks and nice, but a bit pricy though.
We did not continue watching the performance, we were too tired. We went home. It was good to explore. Wish I could visit this market again next month.
