Dinner @ Tree Shade Restaurant? << This if I'm not mistaken is opposite the Ferry Terminal & QEII(drinks & disco)

Suggest since you are in the vicinity of Pulau Tikus, after the Burmese Temple, visit the Pulau Tikus Market for the local hawker fare. If you take pork, try the pork satay (plain meat or intestine) with potato sauce. Less than a handful stall serve this sauce. Try it before it vanish into history.
Walk around all the other stalls, before you sit down.

Try Tunes Hotel as mentioned, but I think it may be too late as most Hotel especially the reasonable ones will be fully booked for the CNY period.

Not mean to be rude but please do NOT come!
CNY and Raya, my family travels to KL to enjoy.
1st: find parking banyak senang liao
2nd: when got parking, go down shop NO need to wait for table
3rd: got table riao when order NO need to wait long long
4th: food very siok!
5th: price although mahal, it is comparable to normal CNY Penang's price.....



BTW on the way to KL via PLUS, we see the long jams going to Ipoh and Penang. Pity those poor folks paying toll (which may increase), wasting petrol and time stuck in traffic. And to think these folks will be doing the same thing on the return trip.

Best is you plan for the March schools holiday, it is more sane.

"My choice is lamb rendang, curry fi$h, $quid and $quid egg."
The last 3 are 'super expensive'
BTW was it ikan bawal?
PS Like your blogg, but how come no feature SP beef soup or steam rice roasted pork place. Think there are many interesting eateries in SP but maybe no more in existence, cos long time ago?
One man's meat is another man's poison.
Yup don't like the smell, rats, dust and heat, which is why I always have take-away. Mostly fish curry with bendi(2pcs), chicken curry and ayam madu(2pcs). Cost about RM16 which is enough to be share by 4 persons.

Sorry I went there like 20 years ago, so now i also don't know where exactly are these places anymore. Last year went to SP, thought of having lunch at these places but got lost and due to tight schedule went to Prai for dinner instead. Was wondering if these place will be in your blogg?

Beside the Tune Hotel, most budget motel/budget hotel to stay for less than 100 a night are located in the inner city. There are a few scatted else where but not conducive unless you have your own car.
Here are 2 links you can checkout. Call them to confirm the rate as their banner says less than RM100 but their website says more.

Or call
Hotel Waterfall, 160 Jalan Utama, Georgetown, 10450 tel:04-2295588

Wow such a huge jump from RM99 to RM280 for CNY!!!!

During Chinese New Year, do NOT come to Penang. It is waste of money, time and effort...
Do visit Penang during March School holiday which is just a month after CNYor any other time other than CNY. In March many shops still have the CNY deco up and they have clearance sales for the CNY stuff.

After visiting Bangkok, Penang Oh Chien is nothing! The Oh is too fine already.

Yup that Penang Batu Lancang Market Food Court has many bestest!
Seafood Char Koay Kak
Nyonya Kueh
Chinese Pasembor aka Cheh Hoo in Hokkien
Penang Chee Cheong Fun
Fried Keoy Teow with duck egg
Hua chee & Ham Chim Peng
.......


And at night the Choo Char is cheap and good! (Try fish head wine & kachang botol in sambal with prawns)
Go early on Sat & Sun.

Had diarrhea and vomit after that!
I'm more confident with Bee Hooi's Popiah, Pulau Tikus.

Ayer Itam laksa is a personal preference. Sometime when I missed that fried mini spring roll I will go for the laksa opposite Penang Chinese Girls High school.
Mini Fried spring roll with Laksa soup...mmmmmm sedap nya!

+1


You can also arrange for a boat to take you to muka head where the light house is. Don't forget to make arrangement for the return trip, if you are not planning to hike back.
If you are really the adventurous type, you can hike from Moon gate to Balik Pulau! Please get a map and GPS. Travel early morning, stock up correctly and ensure everyone hike together!

Yup still there but never eat there for many moons now, btw it is Yellow Light.

I think it will be smooth only after the 9th day of CNY or after the Penang Hokkien big big prayers to the sky god, correct me if I'm wrong.

Waah...got some of these places many of my Penang friends also don't know

where?

There is a big parking space beside Fort Cornwallis. See the picture. Try parking as close as possible to the clock tower.

Tanjung Bungah food not as good since they change the Chef and GM. But think for a company event it will do.

Have you consider Pearl Island Resort in Sg Ara?

Added on March 15, 2010, 2:53 pmDon't think there is one. The closest to enjoying the breeze of the wind & listening to the sound of waves, right next to a very secluded beach, AND good seafood is Hai Boey, Gertak Sanggul, but bring your own wine or liqueur.

Paid. Yup got many gamblers' cars park overnight there

This place very packed especially on weekend/lunch. Usually no reservation means no place to sit and have to wait very long!

I'm also confused, is there a Summit or Berjaya Hotel along Penang Road?

Jelutong Xpressway is shorter but if you are unfamiliar with the one way small and congested roads, better use the Greenlane aka Jln mesjid negeri-Scotland Rd-Jln Utama-Jln Gottlieb route.
Once on the Greenlane, you only go straight following the road, go straight thru all traffic light except when to come to the junction of Jln Utama- Jln Gottlieb.This one you turn right and proceed straight till you see Sunrise tower which have Pizza/McD restaurant.
See google map.
