Fantastic Vlog, we have booked a trip to Malaysia in late March for 2 weeks. Hopefully we could catch up for a coffee one day and get all the inside information. PS I'm the other half of For Riel, Claire is a crazy Cat lady so hide Earl Grey......
Hi! I was in that exact area while travelling in Penang a few weeks ago. Nagore refers to a small town in Tamil Nadu in South India. Many Indian Muslims migrated from that part of India to then Malaya in the early and mid 20th century. It is pronounced as "Nah Goor". Thought you and your viewers would be interested to know. Informative video. Cheers and happy new year!
Thanks Taylor...definitely going to head to Penang next time and will refer to your references for hotel and the area. I also prefer the buses to travel across Malaysia over flights. It's nice to have someone else drive and lunch instead of just an airline snack be provided. Alohas! 🌈 Anne
15 Jan is the Indian Ponggal festival, a visit to Little India either new or old might be interesting - a kind of harvest festival, featuring boiling milk in earthen pots till it oveflows.
Happy new year Andrew , I am pleased that the check up went well . I am in Penang for three weeks from the end of Jan . Staying at the we love guesthouse, gets good reviews. Really like KL , especially the vegetarian food . I’ll try the restaurant you mentioned .
I love this and all of your vlogs! Really appreciate the budget lodging recommendations and am interested in some similar recommendations in KL. Keep up the great work! :)
@@andrewtaylor4558 no worries about that. It is nice to try different areas of town when I stay, and am always looking for recommendations. Can't wait to try this one on my next visit to Penang. :)
Hi😀I just came back from Penang. I've spent a week there during Christmas. It was an amazing trip🥰🥰Penang island had developed a lot compared to 10 years ago, I was so surprised.
I was there 12 years ago and it did not look that nice. I did spend less by sleeping out and eating in the temple use to be 8 ringet for a banana leaf on the street 1 more for milk tea. Nice relaxing video .
Very informative and nicely structured , as we have come to expect from you Mr Taylor . I sincerely hope all went according to plan . Am I correct in thinking that Penang ( along with other Malaysian cities ) offers some very good dentistry options ? Wishing you the best of health .
Well - didn't make it in March! Will be there in October (booked). Taking your advice on the bus AND will stay in KL in the Ampang area for a week to check out some of your recommendations....
Thanks Taylor for yr videos. It would be also good if we can hear yr ideas on what Malaysia can do to attract more Americans visitors to the country. What would be the interest n segments of yr country men Malaysia can attract? Tropical nature? Medical? Education? Etc. what can Malaysia do better?
Thanks for the video. I haven’t been to Penang for years and I am planning to go there this year. The city looks so clean and so beautiful. I would love to see the next video on living in Penang as I am planning also to come back to Malaysia after my retirement in 3 years and any tips and information would be great. Penang is definitely on my books other than Ipoh. Thanks! Keep up the good videos. They are so informative!
Good health to you sir ! I know you have ties to Florida so you can relate to this. I was searching hotels in the Clearwater/St Pete area yesterday. Weekday, Tuesday to Thursday, 1 person, no pets, cheapest I found was $195/ NIGHTLY ! Took my breath away. I think you’ve touched on this so forgive me if you have. Do you find it less expensive to dine out vs. cook at home ? Glad you had a good trip! Good to have you back posting !!
This is very helpful. David and I are planning a trip to Penang sometime between April and November. We are wondering when the cheapest flights will be from Toronto Pearson and when’s the best time to visit. I can’t get away before April due to work reason.
Having the sink in the hallway is great, taking you kettle into the toilet to fill up is not the most hygienic especially if you have guests that don't put the lid down. I did not like Penang earlier this year but most things were shut so after watching this I will give another go. Anyway great video again. The ice cream has got me.

Andrew - I really am enjoying your videos.....keep them coming! Question: do you think you might ever visit the Cameron Highlands or Sabah/Sarawak? If so, I think those locations would really be interesting too. Just a thought. My wishes for a very happy new year to you!
Rockafeller's is great! I like their Chicken Pesto Pasta. They have locations in Langkawi, KL, and Genting, too, I believe. If you like coffee, be sure to go to Lokl Coffee in KL or Ome by Spacebar Coffee in Penang. I also had a good experience at the Evergreen Laurel hotel near Gurney Drive. Ideal location for easy access to most of Penang, in my view. I got a seaview room at a decent price :) Keep the videos coming!
Hi Andrew, I note that you mentioned you caught Aeroline Luxury Bus at Sentral. I found the terminal on their website says Corus Hotel at Ampang to Queensbay Mall in Penang. Have I got the wrong bus?
Hi Andrew, I am currently in Getting Highland and would like to go to Penang for 1 month for an accommodation budget of around $700 from August 15th . I'm looking for simple, secure, private accommodation with wifi. Do you have any idea where I can look?
Hi Taylor. Thank you so much for your videos. I will be moving to KL soon and your channel has been incredibly informative and helpful to me. I just have a quick question if you have time. How sanitary would you say are the bathrooms in KL and in Malaysia as a whole? Both in comparison to the U.S and neighbouring countries like thailand. Thanks again and I wish you and Earl Gray a fantastic week!
Thanks, to answer your question, it depends. If it’s somewhere like the mall, they are spotless and constantly cleaned. In a small restaurant it can be not as good but honestly I have never been disgusted by a restroom here. 😊
@@TheMermeen Yes, I second that. I am in Malaysia and Thailand this month, and I experienced zero restroom issues while in Malaysia, and let's just say that I spent a lot of time in many of them likely as a result of drinking the water or something ;)
Hello from CA & many enjoyable moments in Georgetown with amazing architecture! Thank u! Happy New Year, year of the Rabbit! Is your luck in or out? Wish i was there in Malaysia! Take care.
