Try the char kuay teow opposite grand continental, open btw 2-5pm... my personal favourite. better than sister or lorong selamat anytime. Ask if they have duck egg version.

Added on September 8, 2008, 9:24 pmDunno bout the rooms but the exterior was refurbished like last year or so. Not walking distance to gurney but if driving only like 5 min drive without traffic jam. Lots of hawker food nearby... so sure won't be hungry

opposite wat buppharam on perak road in pulau tikus got one rental apartment
.... but forgot the name liao...

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

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

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

Anyone been boating around penang? in particular the west coast of penang? Any contact for boat rental? or blog on it?

Seems like an interesting idea to rent a boat and visit the secluded spots / beaches on the west coast of penang island.

correct me if i'm wrong.. but waldorf hotel is on leith street.. and its a reknown red light district. where u can see all those supposedly fitness centre

Soon Lai... is very difficult to locate.. if u r not local... so... my suggestion is better u go for the Big tree foot... near jetty.. coz its near town centre.. and also reasonable priced..

If u wanna try the sri bahari road's kafe kheng pin - lor bak.. check out this coordinates in ur GPS
N 05.25.229
E 100.19.969
