10 things about Penang

Accommodation in Penang : The 80's Guesthouse, Lorong Love, Georgetown.
Length of Stay : 2 days 2 nights.


1. It's a must going to Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si temple (both quite close), Street Art and try to go to every jetty's, worth to take a pic.

2. Try nasi kandar around jalan Penang, it's famous and long queue so be patience. Try to drink their teh tarik, dunno why its different from Singapore one, and it tastes nicer actually! And at least try Char Kwaytiaow.

3. Take almost with all the street art (so remember to bring MAP from the info centre).

4. If you went to Bali before, don't expect too much for Batu Ferringghi. But it has night market and nice seafood.

5. If you have time, strolling around Georgetown by bike. Not too tired since its bloody hot in the afternoon. And its a bit pricey to go by becak, 30RM in an hour. I got my bike from hostel only for 15RM, on rental usually 35-45RM.

6. If you love coffee, going cafe 55 is a must. If you have much time to go out from Georgetown, try Full of Beans at Straits Quay or Queen Bay Mall.

7. LOTS of nice and unique cafes, prepare and googling it before, because it depends on your interest.

8. If you afraid of dog, be careful, lots of them in the street haha. They won't bite, but still since I'm so scared of dogs, it was bit challenging! :))

9. I had a great time and for me it was a nice services at the 80's guesthouse at Love Lane.

10. Perfect for weekend getaway! More than enough.


My March 2014 getaway. Thanks to Andanty, my high school mate, who pushed me to make this trip happen :)
