Penang became popular with international tourists quite a while ago and Penang hotels are therefore among the best in Malaysia with international standards. Penang is Malaysias second largest city and is on the north coast. Being on the coast, Penang has its beaches and this was the core attraction for local and foreign tourists. Penangs most famous hotels and resort are based around this area namely Tanjung Bungah, Batu ferringhi and Teluk Bahang. Penang opens out golden beaches for visitors who love the combination of sea, sun and sand. For quieter beaches, the Penang National Park is a good option.
Penang is famous for many reasons with its beaches, imposing temples, colonial architecture and its rich nature reserves. But the most fabulous thing about Penang is its cuisine. Penangs cuisine is a scrumptious amalgam of different ethnic foods. It has taken contributions from India, China, Malay and even has a touch of the colonial influence. This is reflective of the multicultural, cosmopolitan population of Penang. Penang has many individual dishes which share titles with the rest of Malaysia but taste completely different.
Go on a Delicious Journey
The Chinese bakeries in Penang are famed across South East Asia. Pastries from such bakeries are much in demand even among the ethnic Chinese population. Penang natives pay good tribute to these culinary riches. They are known to be fond of their food and said to be the connoisseurs of Malaysia. Much of the popular food is sold in little stalls and you can be sure that where there is a knot of people, there is a food stall selling some delicious Char Koay Teow, Penang Laksa, or Nasi Kanda.
Seafood is fresh and plentiful in Penang. The Batu Ferringhi Beach has some really good seafood places. For more authentic local seafood at affordable prices, visit the fishing villages of Teluk Bahang or Teluk Kumbar. Also famous throughout Penang is the unusual Oyster Omelet. Teh tarik is another specialty of Penang. This is tea brewed and then pulled from a kettle. The pulling involves the rather mesmerizing action of pouring the tea from a height. Many a lazy moment can be spent watching the tea fall in to the glass. Visitors can view the Amazing Nibong Tebal, the Bukit Bendera at Penang Hill, the Kek Lok Si or the Temple of Supreme Bliss, the refreshing Penang Botanic Gardens, the gorgeous Bukit Jambul Orchid, the fascinating Hisbiscus & Reptile Garden or take off to see the Fisheries Department Research Institute Aquarium, the Penang Butterfly Farm, the Penang Bridge and spend enjoyable moments at the recreational Pulau Jerejak Resort.
