Will be going to penang in the next two weeks.. checked out some shopping places
1) KOMTAR
2) Queensbay Mall
3) Gama Shopping Centre
4) 1st Avenue Shopping Mall
5) Prangin Mall
6) Straits Quay
7) Gurney Plaza
Read that Komtar is quite old, and has nothing much to offer today. Just would like to know - are these places generic in nature, and should I make an effort to visit them all? As far as I know, (3), (4) and (5) are close to each other. Treating this visit as a relaxation, so don't mind splurging a bit. My (could be wrong) impression of night bazaars are of knicks knacks and little trinklets which I totally have no interest in. Any recommendations, guys?

1) KOMTAR - Very old building. Almost empty with very few shop left. You can take alook when you visit prangin mall.
2) Queensbay Mall - Largest Shopping mall in Penang. High end shop to some low end shop. TGI Friday is there
3) Gama Shopping Centre - Things inside very cheap for locals(ladies pad is cheap.). Cloth mostly aunties but cheap especially during sales
4) 1st Avenue Shopping Mall - I go to this shopping mall once since was born Penang. No comment.
5) Prangin Mall - Mostly Sungai wang like cloth. Some of the shop overprice while some are cheap. The only thing i get there is contact lens at groud floor. Try to nego abit.
6) Straits Quay - I don know where is this
7) Gurney Plaza - High end shops. but u still can find FOS and Parkson there.
I been staying in KL for 4 years and 3 years in Singapore. So things I know might got outdate.
