Penang, in Malaysia’s verdant northwest, is a laid-back but still uniquely cosmopolitan part of the country. With influences from Malay, Chinese and Indian culture, with a hefty dose of British colonialism thrown in, it offers fascinating architecture, plentiful culture, beautiful beaches and friendly locals. Not to mention the food…
The capital, George Town, boasts plenty of old-world charm. Explore its time-capsule-worthy neighbourhoods from the back of a trishaw bike or follow the many murals and discover the city’s thriving street-art scene. But don’t stop at the city – head up to the cool summit of Penang Hill, explore the Tropical Spice Garden, or soak up the sun at Batu Ferringhi beach.
You’d be remiss to not take Penang up on some of its signature dishes after a hard day of sightseeing. This part of Malaysia is a foodie’s paradise – think laksa, nasi lemak, char koay teow and cendol, a refreshingly icy dessert made from coconut milk and green jelly noodles.
