To be honest, the price of food in Lorong selamat is throat-cutting and the food itself is not that good..So so only...Especially the char kuay teow...The attitude of the seller is also not good.They show you the take-it-or-leave-it kind of attitude.

Well that famous CKT been mentioned everywhere...Even if u wanted to sit in the restaurant but don't want to pay, there is a toll charges!! probably increased to RM7 already...That's the most expensive CKT in whole Mal;aysai!! Infact most of the famous CKT in penang are overpriced!! Very tiny portions & prices of those famous one never below RM4/tiny plate ..U have to order 2 plates to match KL portion!

Currently Penangs' hawkers are killing the market wth ridicolous pricing!! Cheap foods available in outskirt of Georgetown but the taste either equal or worst than KL taste..one eg: Genting Cafe at Island Glade...cheap yes..but food so-so only..the highly rated chee cheong fun nothing close to KL!!

At least bayan lepas part, the price is still not that terrible.Bat Kut Teh can easily get for less than rm10

I wonder night time got any place can go to?if go Langkawi from penang,probably need how long and how much?^^

tune hotel located at jalan argyl, nearby penang road....the most strategic location for accomodation is penang road...that place never sleep day & night...all buses pass that road...easy to go around by bus (cheapest way if dont hv transport)
10 minutes walking distance to go komtar...from komtar u can take rapid bus to go all over the place in penang
u can take city transfer bus FOC

HEy guys need great advise here...
here's my situation... i will be reaching penang around 11 pm and looking for a real budget hotel to stay just for a nite be4 going to Gurney.. Any recommendations?

why not just strait go gurney? i dont think u wanna be in the vincinity of Pg airport at 11pm. Whats there to see? local mat rempit rempiting it out near bayan lepas?? lol!

seriously, just go straight down to gurney. its not far with the coastal highway and one more important thing, If you do decide to stay in bayan/airport area and have plans in gurney the next day, you'll be stuck in traffic going to gurney the next morning, as a whole lot of bayan lepas citizen will be going to town and BW to work the next morning.
if you want a cheapo place to stay near gurney, try Good Hope Inn.

going to penang soon.
planning to buy lots of heong peah n tambun biscuits.
which brand is the best and where can i buy them?
i bought some from chowrasta market before but they are not quite nice.
any suggestions?

also, which hotel is the best for me to stay in Georgetown?
it has to be in the city where i can walk n do my shopping.
traders? cititel? berjaya?

thanks in advance

ohhh....very very quite ah this thread...

where is all the penang-kia forummer leh?

hehehe....come come la...

Where are cheap + safe + clean places? Budget hotel/motel level, not backpacker's level.

I know Tunes Hotel is one of them, but are there other places better than Tunes?

Preferable places will be in/near the city, but other areas will be KIV (depending on how much car rental will be)

Also, roughly how much would car rental cost in Penang? My trip will definitely be during the 1st week of May, either 5-8th or 6-9th.


Tel. numbers or websites will help a lot. Thanks!
