penang is all about food.

I might be going to Penang during this school holidays. Need some advice here. Is it possible to get budget accomodation during peak period?

hello, i am planning to go penang also... haha, seems like many ppl wanna go

my frenz suggest me to Hotel Malaysia[U] located at Penang Road, any comments?

our budget is around 100 ringgit...

Thanks

HOtel malaysia is good if u like clubbing.. coz several hottest clubs are just within walking distance..

But i think it cost slightly more than rm100

thanks for reply, i know the location is kinda strategic...

but, wat i wonder is the service or the hygiene conditions of the hotel..

never stayed there before... so sorry can't comment.. but try www.tripadvisor.com on whether any traveller comment there

Thank you anyway!

I found this link about 5 star, 4 star, 3 star, budget and heritage accomodation in Penang. Quite informative:

I am traveling to Penang for a 3D 2N trip on a tight budget. Hoping to visit the following places of interest.




A few enquiries to LYNers:

1) Beside the above list, is there any other interesting places to explore in Penang. Note: I love to discover nature.

2) Public transportation (buses, taxis) are they reliable?

3) As of 7 Nov 08, Penang Hill Train only reach up to middle station - Is it worth the trip?

4) I am also going to pack some traditional goodies from Penang including:
a) Nutmeg products
b) Traditional biscuits such as Tambun Pneah (淡文饼), Beh Teh Sor (马蹄酥), Heong Pneah (香饼), Pong Pneah (清糖饼), Tau Sar Pneah (豆沙饼), 咸切酥, Ham Chit Soo. [Famous shops : Ghee Hiang, Him Heang, Ng Kee Cake Shop, Sin Hock Seng) Any other good traditional biscuits in Penang?

Cheers!

rojak sauce if you come to BM.
n btw i think u can skip spice garden.. too commercialized, seems to be designed for foreigners and the entrance fee is very expensive.

Snake temple can be skipped too IMO.

Since u like nature... u should try climbing penang hill (Level 84) by using the tar road beside the entrance to botanical garden which should bring u close to nature...

Wat Buppharam is also a nice temple...can make special prayers there

Thanks! I will keep that in mind

Wow! da Wat Buppharam @ Jalan Perak look like a mini exotic temple. Love to take some photos of the flower temple's arc and God idols.


Seated Buddha


Ubosot of Wat Buppharam


Arch of Wat Buppharam

About climbing the hill, another good idea...will see if i can accomodate the hiking trip to my tight schedule.

Hotel Malaysia is one of the hotel offered pinoy chickz. This place not suitable lar for staying.

i wanna go penang for a makan trip wif my frnes on dec 5-7
anyone know where i can book a nice hotel below RM200/night?
any recommendation..i used to stay at gurney hotel not bad..but any other options?
