I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Penang three times, and on previous trips, I always found myself exploring the vibrant streets of George Town. This time, I ventured to the northern part, Batu Ferringhi, and it was an incredibly relaxing experience!
Now I finally understand why my friends from Kuala Lumpur rave about Penang so much!

⏰ At 6:30 pm, I strolled into BoraBora and, to my surprise, managed to snag a prime seat right at the front—talk about luck!
The sunset began around 7:15 and lasted for almost an hour, painting the sea a stunning shade of orange 🍊, casting a warm evening glow, and setting the stage for a lively bonfire party.
To sum it up in one sentence: “While the sea in Penang may be just average, the atmosphere is absolutely enchanting.”
I totally get what you mean about Penang being more relaxing than KL. The contrast between bustling George Town and the laid-back beaches of Batu Ferringhi sounds amazing! Have you tried any must-try food spots in Penang? I’d love to know your recommendations.
Absolutely! Penang is a food lover’s paradise. I highly recommend trying hawker center staples like char kway teow and Penang assam laksa. For something unique, head to New Lane Hawker Centre for some late-night feasting. Thanks for asking—food is one of my favorite parts of visiting Penang!
