@@TheAimanSyazwan OoOOoo! Thank you for sharing your list! We haven’t gone to Sunway Carnival and Queensbay Mall, we will add them to our list for next time! 😊
15:58 this is the old st joesph institution which used to be where the mall is now. The preserved building was added to the mall and on the 2nd floor is a really beautiful chapel which is now a museum and considered a to be of european standards.
Wow, RM36 to 48 for a slice of cake, crazy expensive. Wonder if the price matches the customer satisfaction. I'll sure be moody if I can't have one, hehe.
You guys have to try the cakes and cheesecakes from the Secret Recipe, the size of the cakes and cheesecakes are decent for their prices, ranging around RM12, definitely not as big, size or price of the cakes from the Moody Cow. For a reasonable price, you guys can have a good cake, cheesecake, french pastry from Paul at KL Pavilion. But I've seen from videos that there are quite a lot of good pastry cake shop in Penang, not only in malls, but on the street shop lots.
@@BingoandBinew Haha. I really thought that you guys would go back and try it. From my experience buying some cakes in Malaysia, look and appearance of a beautiful cake can be very deceiving. 😀
8:17 the church you see in gray is the immaculate conception church from 1811, originally for the eurasians in penang, there was a saint who visited the church as a priest for a few years before being executed in korea.
Glad you liked Gurney Plaza so much, it was my go to shopping centre in Penang when I was there in January '24. Its a pity it was raining when you left as there is a a fantastic hawkers food market 2 mins walk further on from the plaza. Another mall you should check out next time you are in Penang is Queensbay mall heading down to towards the airport. Possibly also worth a look is the Sunshine Central mall, was still under construction when I was there. Its in the same area as the train to Penang Hill and the Kek Loc Si temple. Both are definitely worth the time to visit. Just discovered you guys and have been enjoying your work, thanks for the vids
@@jeffarmstrong9841 Hi Jeff! Thank you so much for the mall recommendations and for the kind words! We will definitely note those malls down for next time. 😊
cakes! kopis and Mee's! Penang's such an interesting blend of Old and New! bet you never grow tired of this place.. when you need a break from the slow and relaxed mountains and sea...the city life and mall is just a stone's throw near... great mall hunting adventure you did! cheers!
@@allancristophe6810 Aw thank you, Allan! 🤗 Yes, we really do love Penang! We also feel like we could return time and time again and find new things to discover! 😍
My old house was a few minutes away from Gurney but that was in 2013-2015, I havent went to Penang in awhile now so seeing Gurney reminds me of my highschool years there haha
Welcome to Penang! Just want to clarify that a lot of the places you mentioned as "still being build", are actually very old places and possibly just dying out due to low business volume.
The mall actually was hit by typhoon during stormy season last few weeks which cause the big glass broken… and seems they are doing maintenance for the particular affected area that made you wonder if it was unfinished built
I would still recommend Penang Hill for the first timer, and would suggest to bundle it with Kek Lok Si temple which locates not too far apart. Pick a less busy weekday, avoid weekends and public holidays, the crowds and queues would be the main factor going to ruin the overall experiences imho.
@@BingoandBinew If you're a hiking person then i would recommend you to hike up the hill, it's just a 1.5 - 2hour trail and arguably easy path (the difficult part is on the distance). It can also save your wallet from the train tickets. There are multiple trails you can take either from the train station, or from the botanical gardens which you were pointing in this video 8:50
Penang Hill is actually a tourist trap but it can be easily avoidable if you know what to say no too, but overall it will be worth it to check out Kopi Hutan as it is really a beautiful spot to relax
Still in Penang? Then you should try Nonya Food, they are the best in Malaysia The homecook dishes is what we call 'Chap Fan* meaning mix rice, you just pick everything you want and just show that to the shop operator, they'll just give you the cost...never over charging.
Why wouldn’t you want to go up Penang hill? It’s not like it’s a wonder of the world kind of place, but yeah, if you skip it you’d probably regret your decision later. The funicular train ride is a memorable experience to behold and don’t forget to visit the Habitat up there.
23:23 see these Tesla’s that look like this where I live and they are so ugly lol They do definitively get noticed. I am in SoCal so there are a good number of them. The style looks cooler in a mall on display… instead of outside of a Trader Joe’s lol
@@beybladeking2772 We’re not sure! To be fair, we did go there earlier in the day, and to Gurney Plaza later (probably once everyone was done work?). 🤔
More expensive parking and less selection of shops compared to Gurney Plaza. Most people going to G.Paragon are either cinema goers, for food, or just for the "status", as G.Paragon is seen as "higher class" than G.Plaza.
Try coming to Indonesia, you definitely won't regret it 🥰🥰🥰😍😍. And there are more tourist destinations to visit, the best culture and food paradises in the world than Malaysia. Indonesia has 17,508 islands spread from Sabang to Marauke. There are so many Indonesian tourist attractions that you can visit, such as: Bali, Raja Ampat, Thousand Islands, PIK, Labuan Bajo, Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, Mount Bromo, Bunaken, Komodo Island, Toraja, Bandung, Jogyakarta, etc. Indonesia has many original cultures and the most delicious food in the world such as Rendang, Soto, Sate, Martabak, etc. Indonesia has a Jakarta-Bandung fast train with a speed of up to 354 km/hour with a track length of 142.3 km. Only 30 minutes to arrive in Bandung using the Indonesian fast train Whoosh. Many Indonesian foods and Indonesian culture are claimed by Malaysia such as Rendang, Batik, Wayang, Reog Ponorogo, Angklung, Pendet Dance from Bali, Keris, Pancak Silat, etc. Food with so many flavors, variants and spices only exists in Indonesia. Malaysia always claims everything from Indonesia, because Malaysia does not have a diverse and numerous culture like Indonesia.
@@BingoandBinew .... Wow. That's good. You definitely miss the island of Bali in Indonesia, waterfalls, coffee, Balinese dance, sunsets, Indonesian hospitality, rice fields, Balinese art, Bali beaches, temples, the No. 1 tastiest Indonesian food in the world and other amazing Indonesian views. So it's not just seeing the Petronas twin towers. Indonesia has many diverse cultural tourism and original cultures which amazes the whole world. Welcome back to Indonesia. Indonesia loves you.
Not the overly proud racism towards Malaysia from your comment..... Indonesians shares a lot of similarities with the Malays in Malaysia due to history though to say one is better than the other is a bit condescending don't ya think? I appreciate your love for your country but try to remain respectful as well. Plus, Malaysia has a better blend culinary wise from the many different influence dominantly from races like Malay, Chinese, and Indian not to mention the Sabahans and Sarawakians.
