What's lang sae lee?

seafood - http://food.malaysiamostwanted.com/venues/...-gertak-sanggul
Assam Laksa - There are a few good choices mention a few pages behind, so used the search dialog for this thread.

Chendol - only one place niah. >>> http://www.penangtuapui.com/2008/03/cendol...eo-chew-cendol/

ABC and Rojak is Swatow Lane New World Park >>> http://www.vkeong.com/2007/food-drink/new-world-park/

You still end at the regular toll - Juru Toll Plaza.
Instead of following the sign for Pg Bridge you just follow the signs to Butterworth - Exit left at Megamall on to Jalan Besar, straight to the new Highway, Lingkaran Luar Butterworth. Better you Google for the map. The directional signs are VERY BAD!

All hotel along the Batu Feringgi have BBQ Facilities but due to health & hygiene reason they are unable to let their guest grill their own.
They also organize beach games, provided the necessary apparatus/facilities and the clean-up for you and your team. After all the play play, I doubt your team wants to do the washing & clean up.

There are a few guest house but they are not located along the beach.

Take Bus - Aeroline from 1Utama or Nice from KTM. Faster and cheaper. KL to Pg Island average time by bus should be 4 hours. From the bus depot you can take a cab to your accommodations.
Accommodation? What kind and budget?

What does good location means to you?
Convenient to shopping or places of historical interest or near to public transport or near to Penang Hawker food?
Do you need halal food?

Tourist come to Penang to unwind, sleep on the beach, walk the historical heritage trail or hike up the hills near botanical gardens, visit Chinese temples, old Mosque, see snakes, butterfly and insects. Sample the local food and culture.
What is your poison?

Then, quick book Tune Hotel.
Use the map in Google and check your orientation and plan the visits.

Here are few links for you to checkout, anything you not sure just post here.

No idea cos always got people to pick me up.
Many many moons ago it cos about RM25, but now dunno, btw here Penang taxis all very expensive(much more compare to KL) and not using meter!!!
Better take the bus - Nice or Aeroline. Money save can spend more here.

BTW Tune Hotel is next door to New World Park(Swatow Lane) Food center on Burmah Road.

There are many genuine backpackers hotel and lodging but do be careful & check if it is 'ayam' place or not, before you commit.

Wow you are good la. Till today, I'm NOT familiar with the public transportation routes here even though I had commute by bus during my schooldays and is currently a resident of Pg.

Backpacker tends to go for the local food and cultural stuff at a slow savory pace.

Your itinerary sound just about right. And after spending a night on the Batu Ferringgi beach, you can visit the nearby fruit farms, Butterfly/insect farms or the Taman Rimba or take a hike to Muka head and return by boat whilst watching the sun set.

You can also visit the Traditional Malay Kampong at Sg Rusa or take a bus to Balik Pulau Market for Laksa and fresh Buah Pala Juice.

From there, on the way back drop by the Snake temple.

Last time I read that the cable car stop operating already, anyone can confirmed?

That the difference in some of us and back-packing holidays.

To some that hot sun and 'never on time' buses itself is an adventure

Other than GoodHope Inn 04-229 0111, there are no other Hotel nearby that I can think of that's nearby your course.
The organizer of your course should have a better deal with Evergreen for its participants to stay!

Better drive to Penang with friends who can drive also. Less stressful, take turns drive and help navigate.
Stay on the Island cos got more to see and do.
On the island got so many famous Catholic Church. On the mainland got St Anne that I know of.
If you are not into shopping, some place or historical places, you need to specify EXACTLY what you're into.
Food? Street food? halal or not...etc?

Hi ya, ok la Hotel Royal, behind the hotel, there is a coffeeshop.
In the morning, got famous Hokkein Mee, Indian laksa, Wan Tan Mee...etc.
Do go early or else got to wait very long or worse finish!

In the evening behind, along Nagor Road have lots of eateries. For those on a tight budget, there is a cheap and good BBQ steamboat Buffet, where its guest are spilling out on to the pavement.

BUT Hotel Royal is far from Gurney Drive.

Yes, it is near to Gurney drive but...
To far to walk to attend a course in Evergreen Hotel. By the time you reached, so sweaty and tried!
This is not like an evening walk where the sea breeze is cool and comfortable.

Buy a good GPS navigator?

Pit Stop along the way? How about the expensive Pun Chun Noodle shop at Bidor?
http://www.visitorsguide.com.my/exploring-...es--bidor-perak

Ai ya, if he no go and try how to know it is over rated, got so many people give praise about this place!
Any way I did mentioned expensive!

Dun under estimate these Ang Moh. Better you clarify with them about the food choices and allergies, First, instead of ASS'u'ME.
My Ang Moh friend, 72 years old, just visited me and wants spicy food! No fake Asian food like they have back in their country.
The only food he dun wan is Fish cos he is old and can't afford to have a bone stuck in his throat!

You know the opening date for 1st Avenue? will it become like the KL 1st Avenue?

I like the Laksa in front of Penang Chinese Girls High School but must eat it with their fried spring roll!

High class is Gurney Plaza la. QB is ok ok nia. Times Sq is dying! Roll bowling ball also can't hit anybody on a weekend!
