Followed by the second stop was the roti canai at Transfer Road. There are quite famous with their roti canai telur with chicken curry. But it seems like they have drop their standard in way of cooking. Besides, for my personal issues, I felt a little regrade from this shop. Their service was bad to customer as they are too money minded. (would like you to be more careful during ordering)

On the other hand, if you doesn't consumer any coconut item, there are also a stall selling Ais Tingkap aka Penang Mocktail. It located at the next street of cendol. This drink is refreshing as they are using local ingredient to create this mocktail.
After everyone was chilled, we start our journey to Chew Jetty. There was a magnificent place for photo-shooting. So we have spend our time taking beautiful photos and scenery. It was protected under heritage site hence it still maintain the olden days lifestyle. While I have few great picture from there as well. Furthermore, there is a Lok-Lok stall just infront of the jetty and we have give it a try. It's cheap and the sauce was well matching with the ingredient. They provided a number of varieties for Lok-Lok and may able to fill up your small tummy too.

Almost at the end of our food trip, how could we left out some snacks as well. This stop we are at Two Buns. unfortunately, everyone was full after the lok-lok, so we only able to order their signature fries. It looks delicious and attractive. There have an arcade for their customer to spend time there. A good place to hang out with friends.
The last stop for our trip will be end with a traditional dessert. This dessert is Tang Yuan (glutinous rice ball). This aunt has been selling the tang yuan for years and she has the traditional method and flavor as well. We are glad that she was open on that day too.
Lastly, I would like to share our group photo with tourist for the whole day. Hope that the itinerary that I proposed will benefits you and hope you like it. Thank You.
