When you say the word Penang, you could already smell it. Hear it even. The banging of metal ladles on black bottomed woks on high heat cooking Char kway teow. A fast handed server handing out plates of nasi kandar overflowing with rich coloured curry gravy chopped chicken and some veggies. Or even the tantalising sweet Cendol on a hot sunny day. Whatever it is, Penang reputation for being the ‘food paradise’ among tourists and even locals is aptly described. And even when Penang offers those who come to visit a diverse and unique blend of Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine, Penang also gives visitors some dash of history and a sprinkle of heritage as you are dazed in your food coma.
But even if you put food aside for a moment, Penang's rich cultural heritage alone is enough reason for you to go and visit. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to one of the biggest collection of pre-Second World War houses and shophouses in Southeast Asia. Just like Melaka to the south, it’s a strategic location along the Straits of Malacca made it an important trading hub for Europe, the Middle East, India, and China for over 500 years. This centuries-long cultural exchange between east and west has endowed the city with a distinct multicultural heritage that’s unlike anywhere else in East and Southeast Asia.
The city of Georgetown, in particular, manages to embrace modernity while retaining its colonial traditions. Its unique blend of architecture, street art, and hawker food delights those who stroll around the area. Unlike any city you visit, where you go from one attraction to the other, Georgetown feels like an attraction on its own. if you're spending a leisurely day in Georgetown, you can get lost in its maze of heritage houses without any real agenda and still feel like you had an eventful day. For some fantastic views or kicking back by the beach, you can also take a tram ride to Bukit Bendera or head to Batu Ferringhi Beach or Tanjung Bungah. For nature lovers, Penang National Park is definitely a must-visit!
From mouth-watering street food to artistic murals. From nature walks to cultural heritage that dates back hundreds of years. Penang successfully blends of what makes Malaysia so famous. A kaleidoscope of food and culture from multiple ethnicities living side by side. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve visited Penang, it never fails to captivate.
