Haha..putraskyline only go for either 5 star or boutique status hotels & the most important thing... Infinity pool..

Super duper jam ..Dun worry lotsa eateries still open..Penang hawker veli enterprising 1. Fully open during CNY..but be prepared to get slaughter kaw-kaw!!

U will be coming bck complaining Penang food so pricey

Melak KL = 2.5 hr by bus KL Penang 4.5hr by bus so total = 7hr . No idea on any direct bus, but u can try Melaka >KL thereafter take a connecting bus to Penang. More buses this way..& probably u can google for Melaka Penang?

Here what I get from googling:

http://www.melaka.net/expressbus.htm

From the address of the yet to be opened Tunes Hotel & also the location as in the latest Malfreemaps, it's actually located nxt to New World park food court/bistro/starbucks area. It's in the middle of Georgetown...But it's far from Bt Feringgi...

The taxi rate to Georgetown area should be ~RM30. On rapidPenang..no idea..should be the same as rapidKL kua

ehhh bro, It's IN the middle of Geogetown. Lotsa expensive hawker fair there too..such as the Famous Char Keow teow at Lorong Selamat.....~RM6/ tiny plate!!

Bt Feringgi is located on the North Western side of George town or ~13km away..For me Bt feringgi is good for the nite market. Go there for the souvenir nite market..pretty similar to those in Phuket...(Lotsa cheap DVD there too)

Other than that the water surrounding the whole area is polluted...so u dun expect even Langkawi quality..it's just like PD!!

Well that famous CKT been mentioned everywhere...Even if u wanted to sit in the restaurant but don't want to pay, there is a toll charges!! probably increased to RM7 already...That's the most expensive CKT in whole Mal;aysai!! Infact most of the famous CKT in penang are overpriced!! Very tiny portions & prices of those famous one never below RM4/tiny plate ..U have to order 2 plates to match KL portion!

Currently Penangs' hawkers are killing the market wth ridicolous pricing!! Cheap foods available in outskirt of Georgetown but the taste either equal or worst than KL taste..one eg: Genting Cafe at Island Glade...cheap yes..but food so-so only..the highly rated chee cheong fun nothing close to KL!!

TS,

I'm the one closing the thread after putraskline mentioned the link. This is for you to continue posting either of the 2 threads which I will be merging soon together wth this one.

Yes probably both threads also dun hv any car rental info & nobody knows as there are hardly any budget car rental in Penang & whole of M'sia ecxcept Langkawi!!..Try this link (Via googling as usual) for list of Car rental, otherwise, sometime certain ppl do advertised their private rental service at the stars classified too...(Cheaper than established car rental but probably no insurance coverage & license)

But u still can continue posting in the 2 existing threads rather than opening a new one....Imaging having 10 Penang threads in one forum

Merging this within 1hr!

ais kacang no kacang eat wat wor?

ais kacang w/out santan & wth red syrup also fail wan...That's why me only like auntie peggy ais kacang at PJ oldtown

Dun worry Penang ppl veli the enterprising wan..1st & 2nd day also open wan...but be prepared to kena Ketuk kaw-kaw..

There was one year ..(many-many years ago) I was makaning at the New Lane CCF & CKT...

CKT = RM7, CCF ~RM4 & the leng chee kang RM3.50..FUUUUU..Klang valley that time also got no such pricing!!

Hehe..Ever kena jam from Taiping to Kl start at 4:30PM & reached KL at 1 am the nxt day..me kena kawa kaw liao

Actually Line clear will be my 1st & last liao...Kenot stand the smell of longkang & also the running rats...worst during raining....Nothing great about the food...

This is one overatted nasi kandar wth the actor as an icon just bcos he been there & bcos some TV ppl luv the name "Line Clear" years back... There other much cleaner nasi kandar around...

BTW, it's not cheap also.more expensive than The Pelita at Chai Leng park...which for me much better! - My lunch at pelita Chai leng park wth Fried chicken & Vege, never exceed RM4 wan

Added on January 12, 2010, 10:17 amI think this yr 2nd yr also hv to use costal road liao to avoid the jam from Sg Buloh all the way to Tapah on 2nd day of CNY as previous yrs haizzz

I think the Thread should include Bkt Mertajam, Kulim & as well as Sg petani too...These areas consider Greater Penang liao just like Klang Valley which inc KL, PJ, Kajang, Shah Alam & Klang

Haha certain ppl really beh tahan liao...probably kenot miss the CNY celebration in Penang, thus jam also jam & cut throat also cut-lah atleast feel the amospher of Penang during CNY...Me too did this years ago..wanna try mah but day trip from Taiping nia & really regretting it ..Bridge jammed, detoured to Ferry, lagi kanasai, waited almost 1.5hrs for my turn to enter ferry & once reached all food pricing no longer Penang liao haizzz
