Penang! <3 I bet everyone also heard of penang , right ? Penang is a small island but definitely with a big reputation . It is filled with interesting and eclectic mix cultural ,historical and natural attractions , not forgetting the food there is awesome too !

In penang, they offer plenty of sightseeing opportunities such as Penang Hill - it is 821 meters above sea level which makes this place very cozy . There is a funicular train that take you to the top of Penang Hill in 30 mints , there's a restaurant , a Hindu temple, a church, a mosque and a snake show where you can take photos with a tame python for...forgotten the price :P

One of the amazing thing in Penang which u cant find in KL is the FOOOOOODDDD!! If you're looking for a destination which offers good food then Penang is the right place . Those good food in Penang are usually not found in topnotch restaurants but found in hawker stores , strange eh ? These shops are usually not air-conditioned but wide open doors ,there are numerous hawkers stores all over the town and some of the best hawker food are in these shops . After trying many different places , i still think the best place is at Gurney Drive hawker centre . Famous dishes such as Mee Jawa, Laksa,Char Kuey Teow , Kuey Teow Theng , Prawn Mee , Fried Oyster and many more can be found there .
