Good tip! Will check it out next visit. 🙂
*slurp*
looks yummy~ my last visit to Penang was probably around 2008.. lolx~
It's changed so much in the last few years. You might not recognize it. 🙂
nice handy guide! i spent three years studying in penang, but it was so long ago, i really wouldn't know what to tell any traveler who asks me where he should stay or what he should eat there 😀
I bet it's barely recognizable now compared to when you were there studying. New spots are popping up everywhere.
Love this guide. Its a good one for me when I want to return to Penang and not stay "home".
That's right, your a Penangite. You must give me your insider tips. 🙂
wah.. complete guide to Penang! good jobs…
Hee! Thanks! 🙂
