Hi !

You can try Penang Copthorne (approx Rm195)-http://www.copthornepenang.com/ Formely known as Novotel Penang.Less than 20 min to Gurney Drive.

By the way, dun bother having good hawkers' food in Gurney Drive. Locals dun go there. But may be jalan jalan only. From Tg Bunga u can drive to Bt Feringghi, Teluk Bahang (End of the world seafood restaurant) and go round island to Sg Pinang (lot fruit orchard farm -but may be no fruits cos not in season) then head to Balik Pulau - u can fresh Nutmeg (buah Pala) or even marinated one at the Balik Pulau market and all kinds of nutmeg product. U will also pass by Air Itam (check out Kek Lok Si & famous Laksa) then head to Penang Hill then to georgetown (enjoy chendol - Pg road), Nasi Kandar etc

So enjoy yr trip!

Ermm....not expensive taste. I like hotel surrounding and I don't mind whether its contemporary design or not. Between those 2, I like Lone Pine more. I prefer more on small hotel because I can get their greatest service.

Man ...these 2 hotels r very expensive around batu feringghi n u surely know how to enjoy. Rasa Sayang's room is almost close to RM1k after the renovation n Lone Pine is abt Rm200+ oso after the renovation...he! he!...not within my budget for hotels.And those days the most expensive hotel was Penang Mutiara Beach Resort at Teluk Bahang..Gee...I miss the resort very much. d bathroom was awesome those days. The lobby has beautiful chandelier of WAU design...The tiramisu was Yummy at d coffee house (I can't find that type tiramisu in KL), The Italian restaurant...ummmm...miss them so much!

Ai yo! you r going on the most jam pack day.All stalls are already open during the 3rd day. Price will be up to from 30 - 50 cents. Everywhere is crowded.

Taxi is very expensive in Pg. But I guess u go to get a coupon may be at the airport. It wil probably cost around RM50. Sunno not very sure abt this. Best to have yr own car to go around Pg

I know there is one HK restaurant name " ICE ICE BABY CAFE", cheese fondue is around RM35+ with lots of fruit. can share for Group of 3-5.

The place is in Pulau Tikus.

Vistana is ok. the 2 bedroom actually has 3 bedroom if I am not mistaken. The last rooms is the smallest but with fan only. It comes with kitchen.Is near EQ hotel or the airport. Far from town centre. If you know yr way, U can go to Genting Kopitiam which has good local hawker's food. Try the Chee Cheong fun. Laksa will come only at 12noon. Pg Curry Mee is nice there. (Different from KL but Pg style)/But must go early during CNY.or else by 12 or 1 pm Chee Cheong fun finish. Use the Yeap Chor Ee road to avoid the jam on the main heading towards greenlane. U will get jam along greenlane heading Tg Bunga or Gurney drive.
