Most Viewed Nightlife in Penang

Bar: People watching at Night

The ambience is nice, and has a wide variety of food and drinks selection. Mostly western food, and priced at a fairly high range, because it is frequented mostly by tourists, particularly westerners.

This restaurant/bar feature a large balcony where you overlook the street of Batu Ferringhi, great spot for people watching. Great place to sit and chat with friends.

Staffs are pretty friendly. I had a pina-colada and it was quite sour. So I have doubts about the food quality here. A drink like that cost about RM15, which is the price you pay when you go a-drinking in a bar or pub in Penang Island.

Dress Code: Casual.

Other than eating around at night... sitting on the beach and watching stars is another enjoyable thing....

Many locals go to the beach at night... chit-catting, held a gathering party etc.....

It really relax us from tiredness.... I suggest you to print the star map from the star map website and try to find out the name of the stars....

This would be a good choice if you prefer a more quite place.....

Georetown Skyline

Interested in getting something more then just a relaxing massage? Check out the "health clubs" in most of Malaysia's larger hotels. All offer traditional massage service performed at reasonable cost (@RM60) by an expert massuesse. But most offer "special packages" for only 100 ringit more if you know who and where to ask. If you're male and single, you won't be sorry.
Another option for the more is to cross the border into Thailand (about 200 km away). There in the border town of Bukit Kayu Hitam or Hatyai (a little further inland), I'm sure you'll find what your looking for.

Night market (Pasar Malam): Chulia Street at night

Chulia Street at night

Chulia Street at night is a must for visitors to see something less-seen. Chulia Street is more for backpackers and budget tourists, therefore the place is also in budget settings to fit the needs. If you want to look for 'that', this is the place and many small streets along this road also have 'that'. Please don't ask me what 'that' is, I'm talking only about 'that' not that.

Time to consume

After eating and walking. Visitors might want to buy something as souvenir or just simply shopping for fun. If you have a car, you can drive to Batu Ferringhi's night bazaar or else you can shop at the Gurney plaza which is just a few steps from where you eat Rojak and Laksa.

Take a walk

After eaten so much of delicious Penang foods, stand up to take a walk to stimulate the flow of bloods also to let your stomach work smoothly, otherwise will cause indigestion and getting overweight. Make sure you do this or else you can't eat more Penang foods. If you are at Gurney Drive, take a walk on the beach front with nicely built sidewalk for pedestrians.

Sugar cane juices

When you have completed Rojak Laksa and Roasted squid, you need juicy cold drinks. Sugar cane Kum-Cheyah-Chooiey-Cheet-Aowl. You can go to the sugar cane stall and say Kum-Cheyah-Chooiey-Cheet-Aowl which means sugar cane juice one please. It cost you less than RM2 for a big glass and not to mention the taste was excellent, sweet and one more please.

Roast squid

Roast squid is Poo-Gyou-Hoo in Penangite accent. Poo-Gyou-Hoo is not for filling up your stomach but as side dish to taste the flavour. Poo-Gyou-Hoo is so heaty if you forget to drink bottles of water, the next day your throat will get sored and became voiceless. Make sure you drink enough water after you tasted Poo-Gyou-Hoo which is so delicious.

Laksa stall: Eating Laksa

Penang Laksa

Normally after we eat Rojak, we will continue to eat Laksa. Laksa is not as welcome as Rojak because of its weird smells but I love Laksa so much. I love Malay Laksa as well where they have egg and eat with fork and spoon. But the moment we mention about Laksa, we usually mean the Tanglang's Laksa with hot soup and strong smells. Visitors should try this food but be prepared to accept the weird smells.

Dress Code: Dress code is completely useless in today's world. What dress code do we need to eat Laksa? I think this is for those who want to pay a visit to the Emperor to perform kow-tow, otherwise who need a dress code.

Penang Rojak

In the section I don't want to show Adult Spots or Nightclubs but only eating tips at night in Penang Island. I seldom spend my nightlife in nightclubs because I have no strong feel at those places. I prefer to spend time looking for photogenic spots to capture some exciting moments to tell the world. For this one in the photo, it is Penang Rojak. Very delicious but also you must eat at the famous stall, not all Rojak stalls are as delicious. Look for this stall at night in Gurney drive. Visitors can enjoy Rojak from 8pm until 12pm daily.
