Bayan Lepas Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

🇻🇳 Authentic Vietnamese Food @ an viet

#myfoodies Address: LG-42, Queensbay Mall, 100, Persiaran Bayan Indah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang Finally, we found a good Vietnamese restaurant in Bayan Lepas area! Since visiting Hanoi back in 2019, we've been craving for good, authentic Vietnamese meal but there's not much choices available here. When this restaurant opened at Queensbay Mall, we knew we had to give it a try. We love that we get to choose how much rice or noodles we want, and we can also take our own toppings - a great initiative on lessening food wastage! 👍 Our personal favorite was the Beef Pho and Lemongrass Chicken Salad. As for drinks, do order Egg Coffee! Tastes just as good as back in Vietnam! They also have really good deals for set lunch, so be sure to check them out! Refer to the last image for Set Lunch menu and pricing. Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An Viet @ Queensbaymall

#myfoodies Address - An Viet; LG-42, Queensbay Mall, 100, Persiaran Bayan Indah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang Highlights - Pho Bo Avg. Price per Person - RM25 Rating - 3.5 My family and I went to try out this Vietnamese restaurant in Queensbay Mall, Penang. There were plenty of seats to accommodate patrons and were spacious. Food was decent and reasonably priced. Portion was good too! Food we ordered was Vietnamese beef noodles, grilled lemongrass chicken with rice, Clam in coconut broth with vermicelli and braised pork belly in coconut juice rice set. Plus point of the restaurant is that they have a self-serviced condiments bar which i got unlimited supply of basil! Give it a try if you are craving for a warm hearty bowl of noodle soup!

🥟 Xiao Long Baos @ Dragon-i

#mymymemories Before Din Tai Fung came into the food scene in Penang, the locals here would flock to Dragon-i to enjoy Xiao Long Bao! They have two branches in Penang - Queensbay Mall and Gurney Plaza. The quality over the years have downgraded slightly (the chicken we ordered had a foul odour, but to their credit, they removed it from our bill). However, it's still the place to go to for a fancy chinese restaurant meal. Even children will love their dishes here, especially the fried rice! But of course, the Xiao Long Baos are still not to be missed if you're there! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️ Delectable Dishes at Queens Hall

#mymymemories Dining options may be aplenty at Queensbay Mall, but if you're looking for something (slightly more) economical and also delicious, the Queens Hall food court is definitely the place to go to! You'll be spoilt with choices! The crowd favorite is of course the Uncle Kin Chilli Pan Mee! Don't let the queue deter you, it moves really fast! They serve 3 types of pan mee: soup, dry and dry with chilli. If you can't take spicy, take the dry pan mee and add in a little bit of the chilli flakes! What about OUR recommendation? The Chicken Hor Fun stall serves really good chicken rice! Fragrant rice and velvety chicken, it's all you can ask for in a chicken rice 🍚 What's your favorite stall? Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exploring the Charm of Kampung Agong: A Hidde

Penang, Malaysia is a destination that truly captivates the senses, and nowhere is this more evident than in the charming village of Kampung Agong. Nestled among lush green paddy fields, this tranquil village offers a glimpse into traditional rural life in Malaysia. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with the paddy fields stretching out as far as the eye can see. It is the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll, breathing in the fresh air and taking in the natural beauty. One of the highlights of my visit to Kampung Agong was the opportunity to capture some truly stunning photographs. The village is home to a number of unique art installations that make for great backdrops in photos. The colorful murals and sculptures are truly one-of-a-kind, and I couldn't resist taking a few snaps to remember my visit. Another highlight of my visit was the opportunity to try#2023travelwish#newyearadventure#tripblazers#awesomepic#couplestrip#deliciousfood#mytripvlog#penang#malaysia some of the freshest coconut water I've ever had. The local vendors were more than happy to hack open a fresh coconut for me and I could taste the natural sweetness of the coconut. It was a refreshing treat on a hot day and it was a perfect way to cool down. Overall, my visit to Kampung Agong was an experience I will never forget. The combination of stunning scenery, unique art installations, and delicious local treats made for an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend a visit to this charming village for anyone looking for a truly authentic and enriching travel experience.

🥗 Lunch Buffet @ Amaya Food Gallery Penang

#mymymemories Amaya Food Gallery at Amari SPICE Penang started serving lunch buffets and I thought it'd be a great chance for us to try it out! As of posting (Aug 2023), the lunch buffet is priced at RM98 per person, and RM68 for child or senior citizen. The theme for today's buffet was "Melting Pot", and it featured local dishes, along with some thai dishes as well. The crowd favorite (my family 🤣) was the Chicken 65 - juicy and succulent, and very fragrant from the spices! My parents specifically loved the fried bihun! There was also ice cream potong available for dessert! The buffet was a little lacking in terms of choices, but we are hopeful as they are slowly growing in number of patrons! It was still a good lunch, nevertheless! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Relaxing Workcation at Amari Spice Penang ✨

One of the best workcations! The Deluxe Room was clean with a lovely view of Spice Garden. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Soundproof walls and very peaceful environment. 🥱💤 The housekeeping staff was fast in response time and refills the complimentary nutmeg sweets daily. Breakfast buffet spread is one of the best in Penang Island, with a wife variety of pastries, western & asian cuisine. The smoothies were very yummy! 😋 Come on a weekday, there are barely any guests so you will be able to relax by the pool after a long day. Sip on a glass of complimentary iced lemongrass juice by the poolside while working on your latest ideas. 🍹 The hotel is located right next to Spice Convention Centre and has a huge park for the kids to play & run. ⛹️‍♂️🤾‍♀️ Price was RM336/day on a normal weekday. Thanks for the hospitality, I will be back very soon! 😉👍 #workcation #penang #awesomepic #本地遊 #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip #room1020

Lexis Suites is awesome! Every room has a separate pool! On the last day of Penang we stayed at Lexis Suites Penang Lisheng Deluxe Suite, 10 minutes drive from the airport! I have to say that this hotel is too appetizing for Cancer. Who lives and who is happy, the whole hotel is purple and beautiful, it is no wonder that Xue Zhiqian lives here and does not want to go. Every floor will have a cluster of azaleas, beautiful! The top of the hotel is a bar with a great view. Drinking cocktails at night is very comfortable and the price is not expensive, RM30 per person. The main thing is that each suite has a separate pool, and there is a sauna next to the pool. On the balcony, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the island. The price is very good. It is less than 400 nights. The Roselle Coffee House serves a variety of local and international dishes, while the Umi restaurant specializes in Japanese cuisine and the Juice Bar offers snacks. Look at the couple's package is not expensive, awesome! You can come to the world with a male ticket! The hotel also has a full body spa which is 50% off of five-star hotels in Guangzhou. It is cheap to cry~ Most of the waiters are from the Philippines, and the atmosphere is 666, which is worth recommending!

Penang second bridge half marathon

Penang second bridge half marathon. Used to pass this bridge whenever visiting Penang. Had the chance to really enjoying the view of this bridge during the half marathon event held here last September 2023. Compared to the 1st bridge it is longer and looked new. The bridge was closed during the event so I had the opportunity to run on this bridge. Some part of the bridge has colorful light make it look nicer during the night time.
