Visit Pearl of the Orient

I have been receiving newsletter from Tourism Penang for quite sometime now and I thought it will be good for me to help spread the good news on tourism for my hometown as well.

Indeed, Penang is a lovely place to visit and whenever I'm back for the holidays, it's always a new experience.(now resides in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur)

The numero uno in Penang and the most memorable is the culinary experience that satisfies every taste buds, hawkers food delights. yummy! Food, glorious food in almost every turn. Ask any Penangnites and they will gladly tell you where to go and what is the most popular food available there ranging from "curry mee" to fried keow teow" (hmmm already salivating)

Of course there is more than just food in Penang, there are tons of places of interest too.

Just don't take my words for it, be there to find out for yourself.I just love Penang
