When you mention of Penang gets people raving about their food. It’s a known fact that Penang have some of the best dishes in Malaysia and some tourist travel all the way to Penang for a total food feast! Then there are the ones who love the sun, sea, and beach who will tell you about the wonderful times they had at the beach. If not at the beach, they’d be exploring the island’s many cultural and historical landmarks to feed their curiosity about the 16th century colonization of the British.
The feeling is strange when you see Penang. Its leisure, business, and history all emerges into one and you just feel a complete holiday within days! It has everything anyone needs here.
Most tourists head to Fort Cornwallis. It’s a best place to begin a tour and end up with a scrumptious meal on Penang Road or Pulau Tikus. For dinner, the Gurney Drive is a popular favourite with all kinds of food available to suit each and everyone’s palette. If you have more expensive taste, Batu Ferringhi is home to some of the most well known restaurants in Malaysia, namely Eden for Asian dishes and seafood, and The Ship for a good western steak or lobster meal.
You will be glad with the lot of night activities as Batu Ferringhi has a night market dealing all sorts of bits and bobs. You don’t have to buy anything but walking up the street is entertaining enough for most.
The languages used in Penang are Malay, English and Hokkien. Other languages and dialects can be spoken here too but may not be as used as the first mentioned three. Most locals are approachable so don’t be afraid to approach them recommendations.
Penang is definitely are place to have your holiday!!
Happy Holiday!!
