  • The Craft Batik offers free guided tours of their factory. They sell any kind of batik items, like dresses, tablecloth etc.

    I bought some tablecloth for my mother, really very colourful!

    It depends on the kind of cloth you want to buy, but as far as I remember, I spend around $8 for the tablecloth

    Located in the midst of Batu Ferringghi beach resort is Yahong Art Gallery, the largest arts and crafts center on the island. Yahong brings together a rich variety of artwork and handicrafts by both Malaysian and Asian artists. The Yahong Art Gallery is also home to Malaysia's most celebrated batik artist.

    This is one of the few art dealers that shows up in guidebooks for Ferringhi Beach, and it’s a good one. Besides a nice collection of antiques and jewelry (and higher-end souvenir handicrafts for when the sticker shock of the originals hits you), it also has a real art gallery, with a collection of original batik paintings by masters of the craft (Teng and his sons) and other contemporary Penang artists. You can get matted prints of some of the batik paintings, too (for when the sticker shock of the originals hits you).

    There’s also a selection of batik cotton and silk fabric on rolls (as opposed to the tablecloths and clothes everywhere else).

    The antiques downstairs probably aren’t all antiques, and they come from across Southeast Asia via “suppliers.” I’m not sure what they meant by that. The staff couldn’t tell me much about the couple of items I asked about (including the strange “monk on a tortoise” I ended up buying) but there are some interesting things down there, worth looking around.

    Antique shops in Chulia Street a good place to shop, there are four shops on this street but I found the other three over priced, this shop was in the middle with old man working inside, he will barter prices if your up too it.
    Great idea for a unusal gifts,but Aussies do not buy wood even though it is so devine.
    There is so much on offer in Malaysia but there was alot of the same thing on offer that I can buy here in Australia so for me Antique shops held there own.

    Antique tiles or carvings anything you cant get back home.

    up 80 rinjit for a large tile depending on it's age,the wood carving where 160 rinjit ..

  • If you are shopping for souvenirs like bookmarks, postcards, magnets and keychains with Penang flavors, you can check out the MPH bookstore. Surprisingly they are priced reasonably as compared to other shops or bookstores there. There are quite a variety of items there. You can use the pricing there as a benchmark.

    Always compare before buying or you may come across it later and find yourself got cheated earlier.... :(

    Lowest price of :
    - Magnet: RM3.50
    - Key chain: RM2.50
    - Postcard: RM0.60

  • On the main road where all the hotels are, walk out of your front door at about 6pm each night, and be greated by rows and rows of stalls set up along the road side. They sell everything from fake watches and t shirts, cds, perfume, painting, local handicrafts, pewter, wallets, DVDs etc etc.

    Fakes, if you are into it. They have a lot of beautiful painting, all different sizes and styles. Local handicrafts are rather nice.

    You must barter! They hawkers here will not start at unrealistic prices and expect you to come down 50%, they start a bit closer to the price you end up getting, or maybe my skills aren't as good as yours!
