Get to know what makes Penang a popular holiday destination!

The mere mention of Penang gets people raving about their food. It’s a well-known fact that Penang homes some of the best street food in Malaysia and some even go all the way to Penang for a total food feast! Then there are the ones who enjoy the beach who will tell you about the wonderful times they had at the beach. If not at the beach, they’d be exploring the island’s many cultural and historical landmarks to feed their curiosity about the 16th century colonization of the British.

The feeling is strange when you see Penang. Its leisure, business, and history all emerges into one and you just feel a complete holiday within days! It has everything anyone needs here.

Most tourists head to Fort Cornwallis. It’s a perfect place to start a tour and end up with a appetizing meal on Penang Road or Pulau Tikus. For dinner, the Gurney Drive is a popular place with a variety of food available to suit each and everyone’s palette. If you have more expensive taste, Batu Ferringhi is home to some of the most well known restaurants in Malaysia, namely Eden for Asian dishes and seafood, and The Ship for a good western steak or lobster meal.

You will be delighted with the amount of night activities as Batu Ferringhi has a night market dealing all sorts of bits and bobs. You don’t have to buy anything but walking up the street is entertaining enough for most.

The languages spoken in Penang are mostly Hokkien, English, and Malay. Other languages and dialects can be spoken here too but may not be as used as the first mentioned three. Most Penangnites are approachable so don’t be afraid to ask them recommendations.

Penang is definitely are place to have your holiday!!

Happy Holiday!!
