staying in george town.
looking for famous food such as char kuew teow, penang asam laksa, prawn mee, curry mee (preferably chinese food).
any seafood restaurant (dinner) for recommendation?
souvenirs will be just food to buy back such as biskut tambun maybe?
*
if you're staying in george town than there's just a lot of choice around.
char kuey teow=siam road/lorong selamat
laksa=ayer itam
maybe you can add in oyster omelette at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor
breakfast you can go to campbell street's Toh Soon cafe
for night food you can go along mcalister road, there's just a lot of food.
gurney drive also got food court, a lot of choice.
seafood restaurant, sorry i'm not familiar for chinese style..
KeSToN care to help?
for souvenirs you can go ban heang or bin heang..

for chinese style dinner in town, my family and i usually frequent Foong Wei Heong Restaurant at sri bahari road. they have seafood options inside.
there's another old school chinese restaurant in town = tek sen restaurant at lebuh carnarvon, highly rated on tripadvisor, ang mo all like haha
if u like to explore out of town, head towards batu maung to a place named chai seafood, good seafood and reasonably priced
Hai Boey Seafood at Teluk Kumbar is also famous
or head to tambun on the mainland for some good seafood too

The last news about HFMD in Penang was Aug, so I guess the outbreak has toned down? Bringing very young kids there so.. sorry for being a bit more cautious. Usually I won't check.

so far there's no more news on HFMD in penang.. smile.gif

If staying at Tanjung Tokong, will I be far from all the good food of Penang?
*
As also mentioned there's always grab. But from tanjung tokong to town easily rm10 one way.

Hi, im going to penang this 9-11 oct. Any recommendation on places in georgetown to stay for 2 pax? Budget is around rm500 two days.

Are you going to be in hotel longer than outdoors?

QUOTE(lowlowc @ Oct 2 2018, 03:05 PM)
Oh.. then I think I will stay on in the center of Georgetown. Thanks.

I have only been to Ferringhi once and I remember it's hard to find a parking. Is it still hard to find a parking lot?

If I am to do an evening in Ferringhi, how should I do it? I mean, it's a big place so... :

1. Which is the better part to stroll around?
2. From where can I access the beach, the hotels seem to get them covered from the main road.
3. Will taking a bus easier?
4. Should I drop in one of the seafood restaurant? Which are the recommended and reasonably priced? (Just a video of baked crab by vlogger about Beach Corner.) Or I should just head back other area - like Sea Pearl Lagoon as recommended earlier?

I have been to Georgetown many times, still haven't explore a large part of Penang.
*
1.Nothing to do basically, it's just full of bars/arab restaurant/expensive night market. If you want to go, go in afternoon for the beach or thr sunset. Be rekinded Saturday starting 4pm it will be full of traffic.
2. There's a few entrances to the beach, even before reaching feringhhi, there are beaches.
3.Easier but consume time.
4.Depending on your budget, there's quite a choice but I'm not able to advise properly.

Possible to go to Penang via KTM/ETS? But I think even if can, won't have direct train go to  the island, right?
*
Possible, but until Butterworth. Then you can take ferry to island. Per person roughly rm1 rm2 only.
