Penang, I believe, shares a striking resemblance to Chiang Mai in Thailand, with its laid-back and relaxed vibe, but it has an extra dash of vibrancy. The culinary scene is simply breathtaking! Here are some of the unforgettable moments I experienced in Penang:
📍I witnessed the most stunning sunset over the Strait of Malacca, a sight that left me in awe 🌄
📍I savored the most delectable Michelin one-star char kway teow, a true feast for the senses
📍Even a random Hokkien mee from a local food court was a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor
📍I indulged in what’s been hailed as the world’s best bagel, endorsed by none other than Jay Chou 🥯
📍I tried the local specialty, the legendary black thorn durian, a unique and unforgettable experience
📍I stayed at my dream hotel, the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, where luxury and history intertwine
📍The funicular train ride up Penang Hill felt like stepping into a whimsical Ghibli animation, a magical journey

Now back in Kuala Lumpur, I still can’t shake off the enchantment of Penang! The memories and flavors linger on, leaving an indelible mark on my heart!!!
