Penang is full of fashionable general stores! This time, we will introduce two particularly recommended fashionable stores 🫶 [P.66] P.66 is a select store located on Lebuh Campbell Street in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. It mainly sells stationery and general goods, as well as works by local artists and Japanese products. The interior of the store has a Japanese atmosphere, and there is also a cafe space! It is popular with locals as you can enjoy sandwiches and drinks. You can purchase fashionable postcards 👍 Opening hours are 9am to 6pm Monday to Sunday. [Batek Lah] Batek-Lah Collection is a batik specialty store located in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. Lim Trading, which was founded in 1980, rebranded as Batek-Lah Collection in 2012, and James Lim Chin Soon is currently taking over the family business. The store sells a wide variety of hand-painted and block-printed batik products, including ponchos, shirts, scarves, and reusable cotton face masks. I bought an eye mask and a passport case here, and they were all durable, cute, and reasonably priced! I highly recommend them. 📍Location: 158, Jalan Transfer, 10050 George Town, Penang, Malaysia #Traveling Abroad

#travelchecklist Penang, often hailed as the food capital of Malaysia, offers a gastronomic paradise for anyone looking to delve into the rich tapestry of flavors that Malaysian cuisine has to offer. From bustling street food stalls to quaint roadside eateries, Penang's must-eat dishes like Charcoal Char Kuey Teow, Oyster Omelette, Asam Laksa, and Duck Egg Char Kuey Teow represent a culinary heritage steeped in tradition and innovation. Charcoal Char Kuey Teow A visit to Penang would be incomplete without tasting Char Kuey Teow, especially the version fried over charcoal. This method imparts a unique smoky flavor to the dish, which features flat rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp, cockles, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, and chives. The high heat from the charcoal caramelizes the ingredients, creating a complex flavor profile that is both delicious and memorable. Oyster Omelette (Oh Chien) Another Penang specialty, the Oyster Omelette, combines small, plump oysters with a starchy batter and eggs, fried until crispy around the edges but still soft and gooey in the middle. It's often served with a spicy chili sauce that perfectly complements the rich taste of the oysters, making it a beloved choice among locals and visitors alike. Asam Laksa Asam Laksa is a tangy fish-based soup that is both spicy and sour, made from mackerel and tamarind juice. This noodle dish is then garnished with fresh mint, pineapple slices, thinly sliced onion, and a spoonful of shrimp paste, which deepens the flavor. Asam Laksa is a true representation of Penang's complex and bold flavors, a must-try for those who appreciate dishes that pack a punch. Duck Egg Char Kuey Teow For an even richer take on the traditional Char Kuey Teow, try the version that includes duck eggs instead of regular chicken eggs. The duck eggs provide a creamier texture and a richer flavor to the dish, making it a luxurious treat. This variation is particularly popular among food aficionados looking for an elevated version of this classic street food. Visitor Tips - Street Food Havens: Explore areas like Gurney Drive, Chulia Street, and the Penang Road for the best street food stalls. - Eating Etiquette: Be prepared to share tables with strangers, as this is common in busy food courts and hawker centers. - Local Beverages: Pair your meals with local drinks like 'Teh Tarik' or 'Lime Juice' to balance the rich flavors. #PenangFood #MalaysianCuisine #StreetFoodHeaven #PenangEats #FoodieAdventure

Founders Cafe Hutton 🍽️ is a cozy eatery known for its warm ambiance and delicious food offerings. The cafe likely emphasizes quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy a good meal. These are signature dishes I’ve tried: 🥯🥩 The Angus beef bagel topped with sweet potato and French fries combines savory Angus beef with the sweetness of sweet potatoes and the crunch of French fries. The Angus beef is typically juicy and flavorful, providing a robust base for this unique combination. The sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness and a soft texture, contrasting with the crispy French fries that add a delightful crunch. Together, these ingredients create a satisfying and indulgent meal, blending different flavors and textures into a memorable dining experience 🤗 🫓 🥘 The OG quesadillas are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. Inside, you'll find fluffy scrambled eggs cooked to perfection, providing a soft and creamy base. Topped with grated parmesan and pomegranate. Complementing the eggs are slices of savory chicken ham, adding a meaty richness to each bite. To balance the flavors, there are also slices of fresh tomatoes, offering a juicy and slightly tangy contrast. All these ingredients are enveloped in a warm tortilla and grilled to crispy perfection, creating a mouthwatering dish that blends savory, creamy, and fresh flavors harmoniously. It's a popular choice for those seeking a satisfying and comforting meal at the cafe 😋 🥯🫐 The sweet and salty bagel starts with a hand-roasted bagel that provides a crunchy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Spread generously on the bagel is a mixed berry cream cheese and maple syrup, offering a sweet and tangy flavor profile that perfectly complements the savory elements. You'll find crispy streaky bacon, adding a rich and salty contrast that enhances the overall taste experience. Sliced bananas are layered on top, providing a natural sweetness and a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients. Sprinkled over the bananas are chia seeds, adding a subtle crunch and a nutritional boost. It's a popular choice for those looking to indulge in a flavorful and satisfying breakfast or brunch at the cafe 😚 #travelanywhere #penang #cafe #bagel #malaysiatrip

#malaysiatrip 📍Halzan Penang Visited this pretty café that is conveniently located at the connection between Gurney Plaza and G Hotel, and we had a great dining experience here. The café is stylish and minimalist, love the white on white interior decor, very instgrammable and every corner is picture perfect! Love the ample flow of natural lighting into the café, the lively and happening ambiance! The café was pretty crowded during our visit on a weekend afternoon. The tables were quite near, wish that they are more further apart. Food was served quickly, came in big portion and was very presentable and pretty to look at!

#malaysiatrip 📍Forest Cloud Beverage Company, Penang Visited this café located in the heart of Georgetown Penang island multiple times as this is one of my favourite coffee store in town! The café is a small and cozy one, boasting minimalist interior. There is only limited seatings available in store, might not be suitable for larger groups of patrons and can be a little crowded during weekends! The interior is rather sleek and instagrammable. Love the seats by the windows overlooking the bustling and busy street of Georgetown. Specialising in coffee, their coffee is one of my favourite of all time, with strong coffee aroma and well balance between their coffee shot and milk! Ideal place for a little date and for small talks!

#2024wish 📍Sweetbar Café 48, Jalan Gurdwara, 10300 George Town, Penang Visited this quaint little café in the heart of Penang island! It is located near the Hin Bus Depot. It’s a cute little café, with minimalistic decoration and that the store is in black and white, so artsy! Great place to have a coffee or maybe two, have small talks and chill, hang out! The café is quite small, might not be able to cater large group of customers. They have a variety of coffee blends to choose from, we both chose the nutty ones! Love that the staff took his time to explain about the coffee blends to us, filled with enthusiasm and we felt welcomed! Would love to return to try other specialty coffee blends, their drip coffee and desserts! In 2024, I would like to visit Seoul, Korea!

---Pool Lua Penang--- Ahem, it's the rainy season, so I'm taking everyone on a tour of our nearby neighbor, "Penang Island" in Penang, Malaysia🇲🇾. This trip, I went for 3 days and 2 nights with my friends, with a budget of no more than 4,000 baht. The Malaysian currency is currently at 7.5 RM. I highly recommend that if you have the chance, you should experience the city at least once, it's really good. This trip, I focused on visiting George Town, the capital of Penang. I came to experience the charm of the hip old city, full of colonial-style architecture, as well as street art that everyone who comes here must stop by to take pictures of. This place is perfect for taking a leisurely walk, looking at old buildings, and beautiful towns. You'll never get bored. The city is clean and worth walking around. Traveling is convenient, with free buses. The bus fare is incredibly cheap. I'm telling you, don't worry about running out of money because everything is super cheap. It's a worthwhile and incredibly impressive trip. #TravelReadiness -Don't forget your passport. -Study the tourist routes and transportation. -Book a hotel through Agoda and get a very good price. -It would be better to buy travel insurance in case of an accident or illness so you can feel at ease. -Malaysia time is 1 hour ahead of us. #Travel Train to Penang This time we went backpacking by train because it saved money and it was really very economical. -Take the Hat Yai train > get off at Padang Besar, morning round trip 07:30, arrive at the final station around 08:30, ticket price 50 baht per person -Take the train from Padang Besar > get off at Butterworth, ticket price 11.4 rm, train departs at 10:25, arrives in Penang around 12:20, Malaysia time, 88 baht per person -Take the ferry to Penang Island, round trip ticket 1.2 rm, 10 baht per person Total travel cost to Penang 148 baht, very cheap #Places to visit Day 1 -George Town https://goo.gl/maps/aFkwQ4J8mUQVrULfA -MBPP Town Hall https://goo.gl/maps/oPk2Gn9AvDJLDfGF7 -Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower https://goo.gl/maps/Z6tYaMg5c8wN4b7s6 - Hutton Suites Hotel https://goo.gl/maps/bRDwFLtJ2cvLesiP9 - Rabit in Hold Up Cafe https://goo.gl/maps/zafsXU3rSdTH8EQ39 Day 2 - Wat Kek Lok Si https://goo.gl/maps/iDYaTDPt6UFZnvSSA -Penang Hill https://goo.gl/maps/APBCMPQigZwa5rf86 -Street Art Penang https://goo.gl/maps/sgqPDUkTUB3fheVz5 -Clan Jetties https://goo.gl/maps/smsjahVZCvwSxhgq5 Day 3 -China House https://goo.gl/maps/VKzNEX1BbdtB1WH6A Return This trip was lucky because it was during the rainy season, but the rain was on my side, probably because of my innocence, so it didn't rain during the trip, lol. This made this trip go perfectly as planned and I was so happy because I went with my close friends who were crazy and crazy, so this trip was so fun that I took very few pictures. Because I was laughing at my friends 555. A trip near home at a cheap price like this, I can't miss it. Let's take the opportunity to open up new experiences outside the home. The admin will end the review here. Thank you for watching. . . #Traveling #TravelingToPenang #malaysia2019 #traintopenangbyteawroy #pleasefollownexttrip

Penang is an island and state in Malaysia on the western coast of the peninsula in the Andaman Sea. Located a few kilometers from the coast and connected to the mainland by a bridge. Penang is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia. The capital of the state and the island, the city of George Town, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List due to the huge number of historical monuments and attractions that attract many tourists every year. Beach holidays in Penang are poorly developed. There is only one full-fledged beach resort here - this is the Batu Ferringhi area. The coast is cleaned here, the beach infrastructure is well developed. But everything is spoiled by the water, which is almost always muddy, and sometimes even brings garbage to the shore. All this is the result of the proximity to major industrial centers and ports on the island and the mainland. #createwithtrip #staycation #beachlife

Penang Island is in Malaysia! It is also called the Pearl of the Orient 👏 There are no direct flights from Japan, so you have to transit from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore in Malaysia! I visited it on a cruise around the world! The island has a population of about 720,000 people and has a very multinational image! 🥰 --- We are a couple living in Kansai who love to travel 👫💕 We are looking for spots to introduce on Tabitoko! Tag us with #Tabitoko! We will share it with you!! If you have any recommended places, please let us know in the comments 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ #Tabitoko #OverseasTravel #MalaysiaTourism #OverseasTravel #PenangIsland #Malaysia #QuintessaCampaign

As a once primary hub for trading on the Strait of Malacca, this place over the years a become multicultural centre with a rich history. Here you will find old British colonial buildings, an arrary of Chinese shophouses, temples, Little India and a number of Mosques. We stayed at the Frame Guesthouse, a 10 minute walk from the port. Around the corner from our hotel , Frame Guesthouse, was a falafel stand with food going for as little as 10RM, right next door is a Jamaican themed bar blasting reggae anthems. Literally every evening we would be out at this falafel stand with a drink in hand. What better way to make memories than with strangers in a bar. Penang is a vibrant city with an outstanding number of places to enjoy the nightlife. Just go out and have some fun. #couplestrip#bestislandtraveltowns

penang is an architectural and heritage gem #givethanks

There is a The Habitat Natural Ecological Park in the Peak District of Penang Hill. The park's tropical rainforest has a history of 130 million years. There is a 230-meter-long natural trail that explores the rainforests, trees, insects, birds, reptiles and mammals, and is rich in biodiversity. However, if you enter The Habitat, you need to purchase another ticket. The fare is 47.51MYR. I personally think it is quite cost-effective because there is a Ring Top Walker on the Tree Top Walk. Seeing the 360-degree panorama of Penang is the highest view point on the island. The height of the observation deck is 13 meters, just above the center rest area, which can accommodate 120 people at a time. From the air, the pillars standing on the roots are straight into the sky. Like a crown, it is like a ring set in a green forest. On the observation deck, the breeze blows, the extra comfort, standing on the side overlooking the old city of George, can take a panoramic view of Georgetown.

Penang Hill, Malay is Bukit Bendera, Bukit is the mountain, Bendera is the flag, Penang Chinese call it the flag mountain, and English is the meaning of Penang Hill, Penang Hill. The flag-raising mountain is located in the middle of the island. The main foothills of Penang include Western Hill, Tiger Hill and Strawberry Hill. It is a summer resort for local residents. The main peak is 830 meters high from Penang. Since the old British officials used to live here, the Yamashita soldiers used the semaphore to convey important messages, which is the origin of the name of the flag mountain. [Shangqi Mountain Travel Guide] Location: Central of Penang Island, about 8.1 km from George Street Art, 8 km from Love Lane, 8.7 km from Zhouqiao and 3.8 km from Kek Lok Si Temple . Transportation: There are three modes of transportation to Penang Hill, 1, from No. 204 bus from George Town to Shengqishan Station; 2, it is relatively quick and convenient to rent a book from Batu Ferringhi; Hh/3, self-driving, when driving to Air Itam, you can find Penang Flag Hill Road tickets: MYR 30 for adults and MYR 15 for children, all including cable cars. Changqishan has one of the earliest Swiss-made cable railway systems in Asia, plus a small cable car system that allows visitors to easily climb the flag mountain since 1923. The train going up the mountain slowly passes through the steep slopes and turns to the middle of the mountain.

The round-trip cable car of Shengqi Mountain is still very bright. The cable cars we often ride are all airborne. The cable car here is similar to the moving car, but only a short one, and there is a diagonal in the middle of the whole track. The pulley, which is the earliest in Asia to use the Swiss-made cable railway system. Remember, if you want to enjoy the scenery along the road, it is best to choose the position at the front or the last two. Shengqi Mountain, also known as the Penang Mountain, is about 830 meters above sea level. Standing on the observation deck on the top of the hill, you can see the panoramic view of Penang. This time it was really lucky. I looked at Penang in the coming week before going out, but it gave me another surprise, thank you. The flag mountain is not very big, and there are not many places to see on the mountain. You can walk around in an hour or so. If you are hungry, you can go to the restaurant on the hillside to have a meal. It is estimated to be quite good.

Penang Hill, also known as the Penang Hill, is located at the north of central Penang at an altitude of 821 meters and is the highest point in Penang. There are two ways to go up the mountain, the cable car and the trekking. The fare for the cable car is 30MB, and the ten-minute fare is available (the queue time is uncertain). At the top of the mountain are mosques, Hindu temples, and a botanical garden with a battery car. Several viewing platforms are the best point to overlook the panoramic view of Penang. If you don't plan to go to the Botanical Garden, it is recommended to go to Penang Hill at 4-5 pm, you can see a beautiful sunset. The temperature on the mountain is lower than the mountain. If it hits the rain, it is recommended to bring a small jacket, if conditions permit. The cable car going up and down the mountain has to sit in the first row, especially down the mountain, a little low-speed roller coaster.

Penang stole my heart in every direction. I started with Batu Ferringhi, where soft golden sands met the gentle rush of turquoise waves—perfect for long walks and sunset views that painted the sky in gold and pink. Then came Monkey Beach, a hidden gem where nature felt untouched, the water crystal clear, and the jungle backdrop alive with sounds of wildlife. Penang Hill was a refreshing escape, high above the island with cool breezes and panoramic views stretching all the way to the coastline. The ride up was an adventure itself, but the sights from the top were unforgettable. Crossing the iconic Penang Bridge was the perfect finale—spanning over the glittering sea, it felt like the island was waving me goodbye. Penang truly is a blend of tropical beauty, rich culture, and unforgettable scenery—a trip I’ll never forget. 🌊🌴🌇🕰️Business Hours: beach 24hr Penang hil 6:30 to 11 pm #monkeybeach #penang #penanghill #georgetown

Just touched down (or maybe rolled in with nasi kandar in hand) in Penang Island — but not for the beaches this time… I came for the cute stuff! 😍 From handmade keychains to pastel Peranakan magnets, retro enamel mugs to quirky tote bags that scream “I went to Penang and all I got was this adorable bag” — this island is a souvenir paradise! 🎁✨ Walked through heritage streets, peeked into every little artsy shop, and probably said “awww” 74 times in a row 🐣. My luggage may be small, but my shopping spirit? Mega size. If you’re ever in Penang, don’t leave without picking up something that makes your inner child (and your shelf at home) smile. 💕 Now… how do I explain this to my bank account? #summervacay #penangtrip #souvenirs #travel

Penang trip highlight? Wandering through George Town like a lost tourist with good taste. 😎✨ 🕌 Masjid Kapitan Keling – Walked in for the history, stayed for the serenity. The white domes, arched windows, and peaceful vibes? 10/10 for soul and selfies. Felt calm and cute. 🛍️ Stumbled into the cutest little souvenir shop that sold everything from handmade magnets to batik bookmarks I convinced myself I “needed.” Bought too many. Regret nothing. 🎨 And the creative walls? Let’s just say I spent more time posing with murals than actually walking. Found one of a cat on a bike and almost cried from joy. The streets are basically an outdoor art gallery with extra humidity. Penang, thanks for the prayers, the postcards, and the perfectly timed iced Milo. #summervacay #penangtrip #hotweather

We stumbled upon Flower Mulan Nyonya Cafe along Burma Road quite by chance. I had passed by the day before and was drawn in by the charming frontage, but didn’t step in until the next day—this time with my missus in tow. And I’m so glad we did. The moment we entered, it felt like we had been transported back in time. The place is filled with antiques—ornate cabinets, vintage décor, porcelain pieces—all tastefully scattered around the space. It didn’t feel like a restaurant at all, but more like dining in someone’s lovingly preserved heritage home. Though it was just the two of us, we couldn’t resist sampling as much as we could. We ordered five dishes and a blue pea flower rice. Every single dish was exceptional, but the rice deserves a special mention—it was fragrant, full of flavour, and hands down the best blue pea rice I’ve had. The service was warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The staff were friendly without being overbearing, and it felt like they genuinely cared about their craft. Also worth noting: the cafe is incredibly photogenic. With its beautifully curated interior, it’s a haven for Instagram lovers. It’s no surprise that this spot has made it into the Michelin Guide. Prices are slightly on the premium side, but given the quality, ambience, and overall experience, I’d say it’s worth every cent. A memorable Nyonya dining experience that blends tradition, aesthetics, and great food. Highly recommended. #summervacay #FlowerMulan #PenangEats #NyonyaCuisine #MichelinGuideMalaysia #BluePeaRice #PeranakanFood #HeritageCafe #BurmaRoadPenang #FoodieTravel #penang #penangtrip #georgetown #malaysia #malaysiatrip

Let’s get one thing straight — no Penang trip officially begins until you’ve had nasi kandar with 4 types of kuah drowning your rice and zero regrets. So yes, before I even checked in at Bahang Bay Hotel, I was already sweating from kari campur overload. A spiritual experience. Then came the hotel part — and let me tell you, Bahang Bay Hotel is that underrated coastal queen. No drama, just chill island energy and the type of view that makes you question why you ever left the house. The Room Situation? Pure Main Character Energy: 🛁 Bathtub goals – Yes I soaked. Yes I contemplated life. Yes I took a boomerang. 💺 Massage chair – It kneaded the nasi kandar stress out of my back. 10/10. 🌊 Sea-facing balcony – Front row seats to the beach, the breeze, and the sunset. No filter needed. 🌅 Sunset vibes – Literal golden hour every evening. Nature said, “Let me set the mood.” 🛌 Comfy bed + blackout curtains – Slept like I owed myself money. Whether you're escaping deadlines, heatstroke, or just reality — Bahang Bay Hotel gives you chill, views, and unexpected spa vibes. #summervacay #bahangbay #penang #staycation #seaviewstay #seaviewhotel #seaviewhotel #sunsetsea #sunsetview

If you go to Penang Island, we will introduce some recommended halal food restaurants. Halal food is common in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic country. As a result, you can eat authentic Arabic food in Malaysia, which is often thought to be only available in the Middle East! 📍Halab Penang Arabic Restaurant Address: 381, Lbh Chulia, George Town, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia (Multiple stores in Malaysia) 💰: Just under 2,000 yen/person This restaurant is a chain, and it seems to have stores in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, and other places! Even though it is a chain, the terrace seats and luxurious interior give it the feel of a high-class restaurant. All menus are accompanied by photos, making it tourist-friendly. They also serve other dishes besides Arabic food such as pasta. We ordered chicken mandi and a Palestinian dish called lamb alley. The lamb had no smell and I finished it in no time 🤤 They don't serve alcohol, but you can order a large smoothie 🧚 #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

Get there early to be the first one who tastes the entire city no matter where you're coming from! Highly recommend visiting Penang on weekdays to skip crowds. So far no disappointment, foods are great there no matter which stalls. Of course, you gotta do some homework to get the best tastes of local delicacy if you're striving for the best! At least 2 nights of stay to be able to visit most of the places and enjoy most of the foods! #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #penang
