The Dochula Pass is about 45 mins drive away from Thimphu. This was a short stopover on our way Punakha.

Best Curry Mee Ever |
More Wanton Mee |
I love the blue skies in Bhutan.

This was by far the BEST bowl of noodles I have ever had. We originally sat down for some wanton noodles but tipped off by the couple that shared our table, we decided to give Curry Mee a try.
I had only one response after a spoonful of the broth. Wow. The broth was light but chockful of flavours. Complex and indescribably addictive. I spooned mouthfuls of the noodles down, one after another, and before I knew it, I found myself staring down an empty bowl.
Just so I won't forget, this Curry Mee stall is located on Chulia Street, near the intersection with Carnarvon Street. Look out for the huge Dunlopillo shop signage, the stall is just in front. Opens from 7pm, closed on Mondays.

The famous Penang Hill was a short bus ride away from Kek Lok Si. The wait for the bus was, on the other hand, was rather long. We took the funicular railway up and down after we figured that flip-flops weren't the best footwear for trekking. The surprisingly cool air at the top of Penang Hill was a welcomed respite.

The largest temple in Penang. We hopped on a "private" bus which brought us to Air Hitam from Chulia Street for RM1.50. It was a sweltering afternoon, and we didn't stay too long.
