- It's our first time in Malaysia's famous heritage city in Penang known as George Town so we decided to take a walk along George Town's most touristy street in Penang and see what it is really like and why it is so popular with tourists, both international and local. We share our honest thoughts and observations on this tourist area and the famous attractions here such as the clan jetty, Penang's street art and the UNESCO heritage sites and it's rich Chinese - Malaysian culture.

Another awesome video, glad to be a part of it!! 😃😁
There are two bridges connecting Penang Island to the mainland. The bridges has helped Penang Island in leaps and bound and enabled the island of Penang develop further. Prior to the construction of the two bridges, Penang wasn't as popular as it is today. Also Penang is one of the most visited island in the world today. Thanks mostly to the renovations and restoration done right.
That's awesome 🙂
We LOVED our time in Penang 😊 the food is amazing and the people are so kind 😊
Not all Malaysian can stand spicy food but we love the spiciness, thats why we ordered our food together with drinks . Remember before eating alway buy something to drink
some of the people cannot stand.a curry they will sweat if they eat
Georgetown together with Melaka was declared
Unesco Heritage Site in 2008, they are called The Historic Cities of the straits of Malacca
Its pretty common in malaysia to have food that never seen before or never heard of cuz malaysian people always invent more food, flavors and some tradisional dishes that came back and become viral in malaysia. I'm malaysian and i haven't tasted all of it
One of the very first street art that kick started the whole scene was the one of the boy and girl on the bicycle. It was commissioned somewhere after 2008.
Most of the old street arts in Georgetown were done by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic. He is the first one commissioned by Penang state government to make all the artworks including the famous kids on a bicycle.
If I remember correctly he married a local and Penang is his second home.
And some masterpiece done by Julia Volchkova from Russia.
Such a interesting city ! Those building looks like from colonial time.
The whole Georgetown city is a UNESCO heritage site…besides the road you guys walked thru, there are other roads in the city which i think with more beautiful old colonial buildings, but less touristy, may be because there are less street arts….The chicken curry dish that you guys ate is called curry kapitan, a fusion curry of chinese and malay style, popular among peranakan people…unlike the Nasi kandar curry or banana leaf restaurants curry, this curry dish does not involve the typical curry powder mix…it is made with only with fresh herbs and spices, that’s why is not so spicy.
Peranakan people ancestors are a mix of Chinese from China that came to Malacca port with the famous Chinese China explorer called Cheng He, during the Sultanate of Malacca, and they were traders. Some of these chinese China at that time settled down in Malacca n married to Malays. They are called “Baba” for men and “Nyonya” for women. Now most their generations settled in Malacca and Penang.
Thanks for the info 🙏
Nasi kandar own by Indian Muslim, local called it mamak nasi kandar that's why you always heard about this word "mamak stall". Mamak mean uncle in India.
8:45 - generally its called trishaw ( in Malay Language we call it "Beca" ( the pronunciation : be-cha )
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your exploration in Penang.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed 🙂

A lot of the most famous murals in George Town, including the kids on the bike you showed in your video, was actually done by a Lithuanian (YES!) graffiti artist Ernest Zacharevic.

I think you might find this interesting. Alot of the murals were done by a Lithuanian artist hired by the Penang city council. Link on the artist here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Zacharevic?wprov=sfla1
Go to the top of Komtar and do the walk around the outside of the building. It’s mind blowing!

those street arts have been there just for a couple of years, barely 10 years.
wow, they look so much older than that
@@TravelsonToast yeah...I guess due to our hot and wet climate, it gets weathered pretty fast
😍😍 🇱🇰
come terengganu
Hi ,guys
Hello!
The rickshaws are overpriced for tourists. You could rent a bicycle instead and go through Georgetown hunting street art. If you look through the streets in Chinatown and little India there are plenty of dying trades like makers of jade name stamps, makers of Saree, spice traders and etc.. Definitely don't do those normal tourist stuff. Try to get local Penangites to show you around as there are plenty of nice places that are for free in Penang. Local usually kept those places to themselves as they don't want tourist to crowd those places and turn them into another tourist trap.
What RM5 - RM10 for an iceball... haha i remember the 20sen iceball way back in 1977... i was only 7 yo...
wow, price went up! Maybe because of tourism in the area too
7:35 “sedapp” i heard youu
👍💚
Tri Shaw.
Many tourists come many money coming like the Thailand and Bali Indonesia got so many tourists visiting because they are Free laws free country

Are u guys coming back to KL?
yeah we will be!
💜💜
u must go langkawi.
here now!
Street come first
oppps....you guys didnt go CHINA House ??
Nope, never heard of this, what is it?
Pov:i was in the video
Malay called those rickshaw "beca" pronounce "bay Cha"
thanks 🙂
how long will you be in Penang
not in Penang anymore, but might come back another time!
I don’t think they chose to do that they just don’t have the choice and opportunities to do something else
Do you realise that the chicken curry with potato is very much different from the curry in KL. The chicken curry here is not spicy at all.
yeah, nearly everything we eat is so different!
Keep looking.. you'll probably find Mogwai the Gremlin to buy.. 😁.
I don't think Malaysia is unsafe . As any tourists traveling abroad to any country should take certain precautions .
To be safe , there are certain fundamental tourist rules that tourist should keep in mind going any where arounda the world . These apply to Malaysia as well.
For first time visitors , it is recommended to use tourist agencies. It is most expensive way but the safest approach. Don't pick unknown , cheaper ones .
Tourist maps are still very handy and useful to keep and you can get the latest ones at the airport. Familiarice yourself with Malaysia .
Make sure your hotel is near a railway station . Once you know your way , it's cheapest and safe travel .
Avoid traveling alone in lonely streets .
Book taxi from your hotel . it is safe . Use Waze , Google map on your mobile while using taxi .
Do not expose yourself as a wealthy tourist.
Finaly , if you have a local friend , nothing like .
