97 Reviews Penang Hill lies about 5km west of the George Towns city centre and makes for a fun afternoon outing especially when combined with a trip to the nearby Kek Lok Si Temple.

1 Review Located at the northern end of King Street, to the south of the Padang, I popped in here for something to eat for lunch. I was the only foreigner and so was looked at a bit by office workers whilst I sat and ate a very good honey chicken (RM5) and rice. The food is very good and cheap with a simple...

Inside the staff are welcoming & dressed in sea costumes as the interior is all wood panel & replica of an old " Cutty Sark". Food was good / varied with an international choice & the prices were well placed for the...

8 Reviews Batu Ferringhi’s night market is not to be missed when visiting the northern part of Penang.

4 Reviews Honestly speaking, the beach at Batu Ferringhi, Penang isn't quite what the tourist literature makes it up to be. The sandy portion is narrow, there are rocky outcrops everywhere and there's jellyfish within those waters. How did I know that? I got stung in the butt here once when I was stayed here...
Don't temper with the wild monkeys
9 Reviews I can't really say that I like monkeys too much. Yes, they're cute and everything but they're also very unpredictable and can attack even if not intimidated. When you exit the funicular at the hills summit, be warned that monkeys are around and, of course, they'll be on the look out for any food.
3 Reviews I read everyone's comments about the snake temple but i still decided to go. Yes there really arent many free reigning snakes around however for a small price the temple has a mini zoo enclosure of snakes and this was very interesting! We even had the opportunity to go into a cage with one which i...
