Short Getaway to Penang

With the cheap budget airfare, I managed to booked 2 return trip tickets to Penang from Singapore at around S$150 (all inclusive).


I'd always heard of Penang being a foodie heaven and was eager to check it out.
I must say I'm really glad that I did.


The settings and pace of Penang brought back fond memories of our childhood, like the 80s of Singapore.


Within the 3D2N we were at Penang, we ate a lot of good food, mostly hawker fare. For those out there who are looking to go to Penang, here's a few must-try food at Penang:-

• Lor Bak at 80 Penang Road - this is not the usual Lor Bak we address in Singapore. They're much more similar to our Ngo Hiong


• Char Kway Teow - the version at Penang is usually fried without the black dark sauce but comes with generous servings of prawns


• Teochew Chendol - the famous stall can be found somewhere along Penang Road (1 street down from Kimberly St)


• Assam Laksa - the stall frequent by many can be found at Jalan Pasar along Air Itam (near the Kek Lok Si)

Will I revisit this place again? Maybe.

Penang is definitely a place good for people who loves to eat and enjoy good hawker fare. Apart from the search of nice food, we did not do anything much apart from visiting a few temples (which form part of the tourist attractions). Definitely not a place for Singaporeans who love to shop.
