- From Kuala Lumpur, we headed to the island of Penang where we checked out historic and artsy Georgetown and the food scene we had heard about. We ended up renting a scooter to explore more of the jungle, rice fields and beaches that the island has to offer.
[February 2023]
Tips for Malaysia:
-Islam is Malaysias official religion
-it gets incredibly hot and humid during the day
-to sit down at an eatery, you will be requested to buy a beverage (we have no idea why)
Next time please come during Ramadan (you can experience so many good foods during Ramadan's bazaar) and experience Eid here too! Or in August we have parade and celebration for Independance Day. We're so happy to have both of you here again. Thanks for coming and enjoy the rest of your trips wherever it may be. - Love, Malaysia.
Thank-you so much! We will try to remember those dates for next time. We loved Malaysia. All the best!
Welcome to penang
thankyou!
where are you both from
Hello :) we are from Canada, kind of. Adam's Aussie.
To be honest as a Malaysian, Penang is overrated as a food heaven in Malaysia as Penang is heavily predominantly Malaysian Chinese same like Ipoh in Perak (the 2nd largest city after Kuala Lumpur). Kuala Lumpur is more vibrant and mixed of all sorts of local cuisines (Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indian Muslims (mamak) and international cuisines as it is more metropolitan; Middle Eastern, Korean, Japanese, Italian, etc. For authentic Malay; East Coast of Malaysia has more varieties; Kelantan and Terengganu.
in Kuala Lumpur, Alor Street (Jalan Alor) mostly Malaysian Chinese food and other South East Asian especially Thai food. For Indian food, at Brickfield of Little India and Malay food mostly at Kampung Baru.
For laid back islands definitely east coast islands are more relaxing; Perhentian, Redang, Kapas, Tioman. In the west coast of Malay Peninsular; Langkawi and Pangkor not too bad and less touristy compared to Bali or islands in Thailand eg. Phuket.
