Amazing Taste Mamak's Food Nasi Kandar Istimewa Penang - Unforgettable culinary escapade. If you're a fan of rich, aromatic curries and traditional Mamak fare, this is the place to be. Its preserving the essence of Malaysian cuisine shines through in every dish they serve. I must say, it was an authentic culinary experience that left my taste buds dancing with delight.

First class guide - We had a wonderful day with Aldred. He was a first class guide who made our trip to Penang most enjoyable. Loved his stories and he took us to some great places.

Street Arts - A visit to Penang won't be complete without visiting its numerous street art. Here is the George Town street art I encountered during my brief stay.

Penang Island is lovely but disappointed with cultural tour - My family and I were really excited to tour George Town, Penang. While our tour guide was courteous and friendly, we felt that the tour did not live up to our expectations. The highlight of the tour was our trip up to Penang Hill. We spent approximately 2 hours on Penang Hill, which didn't leave much time for touring the rest of George Town. In order to manage the time in a more effective manner, we felt that our tour guide should have accompanied us to the top of the Penang Hill. So, for the remainder of the tour we drove by the other historic sites. The only other stop we made was at a chocolate store which we could have done without.
