if u guys don't mind budget lodges for backpackers.. check out the area in chulia street

i am stumped.

my friend looking for help:

"We're backpacking there, so we would like to look for a cheap hotel which can fit the 8 of us (preferably in a room). That is the problem because of the size of our group. We are looking for deals below the price of RM130 if possible."

any suggestions guys

okay i will tell him go love lane liao

what's your budget?

that pdf is really useful, quite reliable too. too bad it only covers georgetown area. got many nice food in south of penang island and butterworth/seberang perai area too

Park Royal/Rasa Sayang

Sandy Bay Paradise then

correcto

yeah, its good for tourists.. but penangites could find it useful if other areas were covered too. we don't only want to eat in georgetown alone

sunway hotel georgetown. walking distance to food n times square

bayview ah.. ok lah near to chulia st and such, but many transvestites around at night.. not that safe to walk alone

g hotel is expense place

ais kacang without sarsri flavor is fail one

I don't troll in T&L

As i know, only Penang serves ais kacang with sarsi flavor. Giving it a very fresh and gassy aroma. Other ais kacang is just purely syrup + shaved ice which has only 1 taste, sweet. Kinda boring

i know a few locations, New World Park @ Swatow Lane
Kek Seng @ Penang Road
The famous teow chew chendol @ Penang Road, and
Lorong Selamat's Coffee Shop, where the expensive char koay teow used to be at

One thing though, they are all operated by Chinese, so I am not really sure about the halal-ity

i would stick to the old coffee shop

for kek seng, i usually park at the open car park opposite the shop, which is next to prangin mall, then walk over. altho is opposite, still need to walk very far coz it's fenced. but i guess the ais kacang + self made durian ice cream is worth the trouble and sweat

those are the notoriously "famous" ones, fried with super huge prawns. normal ones are still RM3-RM3.50

was it? last i went it was so darn empty i felt sad thinking nobody knows that place. btw, that ice kacang used to be my parents' pak tor place lol

i go northam for muar chee only lol
