Sunway hotel quite cheap.. RM180-200 per nite and is near to Georgetown and food.. New Lane is within walking distance..

Butterfly Farm is a must see yo

You are missing out the clan houses in Penang.. Khoo Kongsi is a must see!!

And I do recommend Butterfly Farm.. because it's the nicest in Malaysia

^ true dat. try TAO's Japanese Buffet

ppl talk about Autocity mah

^ Island Plaza is it? Good if shopping for clothes or food.. else it's pretty boring

Line Clear.. just go to Chulia Street.. follow till the end of the road and you will come out to Penang Road. At the junction of Chulia Street and Penang Road, look to your left. Line Clear is just 2-3 shops away. To know you're in the right direction, Odeon cinema would be right opposite you.

Line Clear's nasi kandar is nice.. very spicy.. but I still find the one in Gelugor better.. Or maybe you should try the one beside Masjid Kapitan Keling.. heard that's the best of the best.

pearl international hotel

lol gurney hotel? just take Sunway Hotel lah.. walk out then got New Lane to eat.. every where also just walking distance away

car rental.. not recommended.. suggest you take a bus

depends on how much is the car rental bah. if you go to batu ferringhi, do drop by the butterfly farm

depends on what you wanna do.. if for me, i will stay near Georgetown. most tourist attractions are around there anyway.. if good hope inn.. then the temples are near

how much you renting the room in Gurney Hotel?

yes i am penang lang. i will try to help

Northam tower hotel? Yes it is still alive.

i am not in penang currently. for the hotel.. i have a friend working nearby.. maybe i can get his help to quote the price. run down or not i am not sure

for restaurant.. i mostly went to seafood ones only.. if that's ok i go back and korek the name of the restaurant.. hope it will suit your taste

i am in seri kembangan

i jz called my friend.. he will give me the number after he go n find out. And the hotel's condition should be good lah. 3 months ago before i came here, it was still a classy hotel.

seafood here is generally fresh. but price wise, some are even more expensive than in KL. need to go until teluk kumbar for cheap one: eg. Good Friend Seafood restaurant. Teluk Kumbar also got famous mee udang. Ju Hu Char is a very common dish leh.. even my mom knows how to cook it. I don't know where to get good one. but this gal's blog got a recommendation:

Abu Siti Lane is about 15 minutes away from Komtar.

If you come to BM then I know where to recommend you to eat.. here got YAM RICE, Malay Char Koay Teow, Duck Egg Char Koay Teow, White Wantan Mee.. and a couple of great seafood restaurants. I didn't grow up in the island so I am not too sure myself rofl

**got the number: Northam Hotel: 04-3701111. Ask for reservation.

this is the white wantan mee:



it has many names.. some call it white wantan mee, tokong mee, tok tok mee etc. It's right beside the BM Tua Pek Kong. also got a famous koay chap stall here.

for duck egg char koay teow.. quality has been inconsistent lately.. sometimes very oily due to the freaking large amount of lard, but still damn good.

RM220 for a suite should be OK. since sunway hotel 1 room also RM200

G hotel is NOT same as Gurney Hotel. They are not even close. G Hotel damn classy. Gurney Hotel is normal.

take cab confirm kena potong. take bus.. go aroud town is OK. if you wanna go batu ferringhi area, then rent a car. Car rental dunno lolz.
