3D2N & flying to Penang & going to langkawi..Don't waste your time-lah.. Just stay in Penang can liao..Lotsa food & etc . No point staying near feringghi area bcos the water is polluted!

Just stay in budget hotels in penang such as Tune & etc...or if got RM150 & above go for Northam all suites..probably the cheapest suites style hotel liao..

Buy a good GPS navigator?

Pit Stop along the way? How about the expensive Pun Chun Noodle shop at Bidor?

That road leading to Ayer Hitam Dam is called Jalan Balik Pulau and there is two Jalan Balik Pulau in Penang. The one along Kek Lok Si & the onbe at Balik Pulau town. So far I can't find any such church in Balik Pulau except Sacred Heart church.

And the only Church wth almost similar name & road is the one I posted.

Komtar- Even way back in late 80 & early 90's the shops inside Komtar worst than Sg Wang - My recent visit last week-- so many empty lots and ceiling near to Govt offces side like colapsing liao haha...The only nicely maintained but underutilised is the Komtar walk where the new Teochew Cendol located..RM2.50 per bowl of cendol..probably the most espensive in penang haha.

The new (?) IT centre in Komtar just beside 1st Ave also OK very quiet & lotsa empty stalls too. Is it the largest IT mall in Penang?

1st Avenue is nice & modern. so do Prangin mall as well. All these malls are interconnected via overhead bridges

BTW, the list should include Penang Times Square. probably the most nicely designed Malls & condo/ serviced condo in Georgetown? - But too many empty lots inside and dunno why the Sunshine City supermarket located in such a hulu-hulu 4th flr.. For new visitor, finding this supermarket probably a headache haha

Actually currently Penang Time Square car park is 100% free..well for short while since the complex is only ~ 30% occupied. There is no jam during weekend around komtar so I think it's OK for tourist lor. The problpem is the emptiness of the retailers there haha. But I do luv the design of this highrise..like those hi-end condo rclxms.gif

Sunshine supermarket - Yeah I found their Korean food items super cheap there...The greenish isotonic korean drink featured prominently in Kdrama - My GF is gumiho - selling only RM4.90 for 1.5ltr instead of ~ RM7 in KL hypermart rclxms.gif But not all items having super duper deal-lor..Only my complain..Why wanna open a supermarket high up on 4th floor? Does not make sense at all rclxub.gif

QUOTE(DarkNite @ Jun 6 2011, 12:11 PM)

Sunshine Group got a so called super duper good deal to be there but I dunno how long can they tahan to open without customer!
Penang Times Square - ho kua but boh ho chiak. - nice looking place but can't do business. Very bad accessibility and located in a congested part of town.
