  • Penang has always been my First and Last Love!
    By jet, 02/24/09
    Although I'm from Penang, I've spent most of my adult life away from it as I went abroad to work in UK for 30 years. Each time I came back to visit Penang on vacation, I'd notice something new.. either a new residential area, or a new 5 star Hotel or Hotels, a new Shopping Mall etc.!! Now, after 30 years of absence, I just can't ...

  • Penang, a very good place
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
    Honestly, i think Penang is a very cool place and it is the best place we've ever been before. It is a mix of old and new like the old things are in George Town, and the new things are in Bayan Baru. Good food avalible everywhere. We miss their hawker food very much. Although the place is not very clean, but the hawker food is just very good. ...

  • best food
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/16/07
    As an Australian, I fell in love with Penang in 1977, and it still holds a place in my heart.

    Higher Chinese population removes the torpor found in much of Malaysia, the English story, decrepit terraces and fort of Georgetown add historic interest (pity about the maintenance!), the compact size makes it convenient, and the top hotels on Gurney ...

  • A microcosim of Malay reality
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/06/07
    The city radiates with color and energy during the day; at night, though, it seemed all the criminals and deviants climbed out of their nooks to prey on travelers. Although restaurants like Hawas and others near Love Lane are everything a traveler could dream of for sun-down cuisine, there are robbers and sexual sickos in the area who if a traveler ...
