Will be going to penang in the next two weeks.. checked out some shopping places
1) KOMTAR 2) Queensbay Mall 3) Gama Shopping Centre 4) 1st Avenue Shopping Mall 5) Prangin Mall 6) Straits Quay 7) Gurney Plaza Read that Komtar is quite old, and has nothing much to offer today. Just would like to know - are these places generic in nature, and should I make an effort to visit them all? As far as I know, (3), (4) and (5) are close to each other. Treating this visit as a relaxation, so don't mind splurging a bit. My (could be wrong) impression of night bazaars are of knicks knacks and little trinklets which I totally have no interest in. Any recommendations, guys? This post has been edited by sampack: Jun 6 2011, 02:16 AM |

Oh, gama is old? I see.. Probably more interested in clothes, and food though.I will be travelling with my folks, so thinking of bringing them to the Tropical Fruit Farm. Is this place worth the time? This post has been edited by sampack: Jun 6 2011, 02:17 AM |

Read that Komtar is quite old, and has nothing much to offer today. Just would like to know - are these places generic in nature, and should I make an effort to visit them all? As far as I know, (3), (4) and (5) are close to each other. Treating this visit as a relaxation, so don't mind splurging a bit.

Gurney Plaza + Straits quay not walking distance but quite close , only queensbay quite far away. Besides you missed out Bukit Jambul = Same as pragin mall but more <insert race> Midlands park 1stop = Great place to get computer gears + pirated DVD Island Plaza (near to Straits Quay) , nothing much to see but the quality not bad.

Komtar is run down and slowly dying.I will be travelling with my folks, so thinking of bringing them to the Tropical Fruit Farm. Is this place worth the time? Gama is old but still ok as a small town dept store. If your folks likes durian and tropical fruits, next few weeks is the right time to visit Balik Pulau for durian, mangosteen, rambutans and Lemak/Assam Laksa wash down with freshly extract white nutmeg juice. |

Any recommendations, guys? Most tourist don't think Penang as a "this kind of shopping" kind of place. When I was in Langkawi, I do go but just to get stuffs that is not available in Langkawi. If you try to shop in all the places mentioned, I don't think you will be visiting other places of interest. Let's take Gurney Plaza, if you visit it, then what's the point of visiting others. Most of the stuffs overlap, isnt'it? Komtar is unique. It is a place where when you walk, you wonder," How did the architect designed this place? " He must be nuts! Incidently he was the CM's brother at that time. It has got entrances on all sides, you can even enter through Shangri-La Hotel. The only browsing I do is in Lorong Kulit.  |
