planning a trip to penang in august... i think 2nd or 3rd week before the merdeka celebration.

Any recommended place to stay in town? I'll be driving up with a GPS (hopefully). Going with my girlfriend. Hoping to find somewhere near town and easy access to all the happening places.

looks like will be booking myself and my gf into the tune hotel. Anyone stayed there before? easy to get to? will be driving to penang. Any reviews on that hotel?

i'm going penang in 2 weeks time and i'm still in the blur as to which places to visit.... friend couldn't bring us around as he has some important outstation business at the last minute...

any suggestions? going there for 4 days.. sunday to wed.

Penang here i come today!.

Planning to tour around georgetown today after checking in into tune hotel.

hie guys, looking for a place to have dinner in penang tmr. Have already tried Hao You seafood in Tanjung Kumbar and street food on Kimberley street. Where else is recommended for dinner arr?

Something nice and essentially penang is fine. NO GURNEY DRIVE please...
I'll be checking the forum tomorrow again so if you guys have any recommendation, i'll really appreciate it.

btw, the char koay tiao at kimberley street sucks... Totally fail in my books. The guy fried in a huge batch and put it into a bowl first. Den when you order, he'll take the pre-fried noodles from the bowl, put back into the wok and add all the other ingredients in to fry. Portions super small and freaking expensive... The uncle recommended to add ingredients so i say ok.. they add in 3 mantis prawn and the whole koay tiao cost RM 5.80... original supposed to be RM 3.20 with egg..
