After the presentation, we are set to go. Penang here we come… There are 4 Toyota Alphard and1 YES Sprinter that will be taking us to Penang. We are all given a YES Huddle, 2 apples and 1 bottle of water before we start our journey. So nice, everything was well prepared.

We are split into 4 person in a team and each team in an mpv. I am in the same team as James (Yes4G), Mei and Arystle.

Along the way to Penang, we got to test out the YES 4G coverage. We start to tweet about the road trip add #YesPenang.

We also run Speed Test (speedtest.net) at different area/spots. Most of the areas we passed have YES coverage except the certain hilly area when we approach Ipoh. Other than that the internet speed is good. Even at some places there we no handphone signal and we could tweet using Yes

Our 1^st stop was Bidor Curry House.

Its makan time :)

We had banana leaf rice with chicken, mutton, fish, vegetables and many side dishes including papadam… yummy my favourite...

James and few guys went over to Bidor Pun Chun ‘tapau’ Herbal Duck Noodles and biscuits. This was how I ate my herbal duck noodles on banana leaf…

Next stop was at Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken in Ipoh.

I took this picture while I am queuing for my drinks.

My team except James switched from mpv to Yes Sprinter so that we could charged our laptops, huddle, mobile and make phone calls via Yes 4G.

Everyone say cheese...
