A street called Lebuh Armenian

It was a wonderful Saturday~~~

2 weeks ago, Danny and I were looking for the "Amelia" cafe after breakfast.

and finally, we reached a street called Lebuh Armenian, the street where Amelia cafe is located at...

It's just a short and small street but I felt so impressed...

We saw lots of antique and old stuff over there...

and this is one of the reason

WHY I LOVE PENANG....

Cheah Kongsi

Mahjong ^^ my favourite activity XD

Here's some history about Armenian Street that I read in internet:

Armenian Street is a street in the inner city of George Town and within the core zone of the Unesco World Heritage Site. It derives its name from a Armenian family that had its home at the junction of the now Armenian Street and Beach Street in the early part of the 19th century. The Armenians had arrived in Penang by way of India. By 1822, they had established their church, the Armenian Church of St Gregory, which was located when Bangunan Mayban Trust standing today. It was some eleven years older than the Armenian Church of St Gregory in Singapore. It was demolished around 1937, by which time most of the Armenians had packed up and left Penang.

In the earlier days, Armenian Street was known as Malay Lane. This is due to the presence of a Malay settlement, which can still be seen today with such monuments as the Acheen Street Mosque and Penang Islamic Museum in that vicinity.

Armenian Street developed more and more a Chinese appearance as Chinese traders moved into the area from the turn of the 20th century. Clan temples such as Cheah Kongsi,Yap Kongsi and Khoo Kongsi were established either on or within a stone's throw of Armenian Street. Traders and merchants of these clans helped to finance the mining of tin in the Larut district of Perak, which resulted in much prosperity flowing into the Armenian Street area from the 1860s right through to the early 20th century.

Unfortunately, Amelia cafe was closed due to the reason of renovation while we finally found it.

gotta find another place to have a drink...

With a bit disappointed that the Amelia cafe was closed... I found another cafe called "Edelwiess" =) and I did found some suprise over there...

Nice bar

Danny ^^

We ordered a cup of latte and brew coffee...

Danny taught me a way to taste latte... pour the sugar on top of the foam, so while you drink it, you might taste the sweetness on your lips but it wouldn't spoil the original taste of latte...

I'm still a beginner of tasting coffee so I hardly rate the coffee over there...

What I can say is OK la... not so bad but not that good... and the price is reasonable.... cheaper that Starbucks XP

Well, I think it's time to explore more places in Penang! I have been staying at Penang for 6 years and I just start learning to speak Hokkien and appreciate every single litlle place of Penang... Hope that it's not considering as late yet to me to do so =)
