2025 Tanjung Bungah Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay #OceanoSymphony #PenangHiddenGem #TanjungTokongVibes #BeachsideChill #CoastalEscape #EveningViews #SeasidePenang #LocalRetreat #PeacefulPenang #MiniBaliVibes I spent an unforgettable evening at Oceano Symphony in Tanjung Tokong — and honestly, it felt like a slice of Bali hidden right here in Penang. The moment I stepped onto the sandy outdoor seating area, shaded by trees and set right by the sea, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere was calm and serene. Fishing boats were docked along the shoreline, and the sun slowly dipped beyond the horizon, casting a soft orange glow across the water. With the sea breeze blowing and the gentle sound of waves in the background, I felt completely at peace. It’s not just a place to hang out — it’s a place to unwind, reflect, and feel like you’re on a mini beach vacation without leaving the city. 🌟 Travel Tips for Visiting Oceano Symphony 1. Arrive in the Late Afternoon The café shines during golden hour. Come around 5–6 PM to catch the sea breeze and enjoy the peaceful sunset vibe. 2. Parking Can Be Tricky There’s limited street parking along Jalan Tokong Thai Pak Koong, especially during peak hours. If you’re driving, try to come early or consider parking slightly further and walking in. 3. Take Grab for Convenience If you’re not local, ride-hailing (Grab) is your best bet — easy drop-off right in front of the café without the hassle of parking. 4. Pet-Friendly Spot Oceano Symphony welcomes pets, especially on the outdoor deck. A great place to chill with your furry companion. 5. Bring Shades or a Hat While the café has shaded areas, the afternoon sun can be strong — sunglasses, hats, or light clothing are recommended. 6. Stay for the Evening Lights As the sky darkens, soft lighting and the lapping waves create a romantic seaside ambiance — perfect for unwinding after a long day. 7. Check the Weather It’s an open-air concept, so avoid rainy days for the best experience.

I went to Penang Island with my Japanese friend in November! I had heard that the weather in November isn't great, but miraculously, it didn't rain, and we enjoyed our trip without needing an umbrella!! The hotel we stayed at in Penang Island was 'Hompton by the Beach, Penang'. While searching for hotels in Penang Island on trip.com, this hotel was recommended. It is a four-star hotel with beautiful photos, and it was 67% off, so I immediately booked it after consulting with my friend! 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: When we arrived at the hotel, the lobby wasn't very spacious but it was clean, and the staff were friendly, making the check-in process smooth. The room was also clean and tidy, with a beautiful ocean view from the window. The amenities were well-stocked, including towels and bathrobes. The shower had good water pressure and hot water was readily available. They also provided body lotion, slippers, and an iron. However, there was no conditioner, so if you need hair care products, it's best to bring your own! I met up with my friend later at the hotel, and they were also very satisfied with the comfort of the hotel! The view from the window was great, with a clear view of the sea in the morning and beautiful night scenery at night. The surroundings were quiet, allowing for a good night's sleep. My friend had a Zoom meeting using the hotel's Wi-Fi the next morning, and there were no issues. We hadn't included breakfast in our booking, but we decided to have breakfast at the hotel. We went to the front desk in the morning and added breakfast to our stay. We enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast with an ocean view. There were a variety of options including Japanese, Western, and desserts, making it hard to choose what to eat. During breakfast, a staff member approached us and asked us to write a Google review. In return, our breakfast fee was waived. I'm not sure if we were randomly selected or if it was part of a campaign, but we were very lucky to have our meal for free! This hotel is a four-star hotel, but it has a vibe similar to Hilton Pattaya, which we really liked. There's a beach nearby, so you can go and enjoy the sea whenever you like. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Penang Island!! It's about a 40-minute taxi ride from the airport. 💰 Price per person: We stayed in a Deluxe Room (without breakfast) for two nights, and the total cost for two people was 4,165 Baht (approximately 18,745 Yen). This works out to 4,686 Yen per person per night! It's unbelievable that such a comfortable hotel is available at this price...!! Breakfast can be added for MYR48 (approximately 1,645 Yen) per person! In Malaysia, there is a tourism tax when staying at hotels, so we paid 6 MYR (approximately 206 Yen) locally. We had a really wonderful time at this hotel for two days^^

#malaysiatrip 📍Oceano Symphony, Penang Had a chill and restful afternoon here at Oceano Symphony. It is a scenic café nestled at Tanjung Bungah, offering stunning sea views of Penang island! The café is huge and spacious with plenty of seating areas, both indoor and outdoor! We were there in the afternoon but it is shaded and airy, so it was alright and not too hot or sweaty. They serve a huge variety of food and drinks selection, mostly western dishes like pasta big breakfast and more! We ordered their coffee and tiramisu which was great! Views was lovely, ambiance was relaxing which made it such an ideal café for friends and family hang out, dates, small talks. Definitely returning for the view and vibes!

The Food and Drinks Breath Cafe takes pride in its thoughtfully curated menu, offering a mix of Western and Asian-inspired dishes. During my visit, I had the chance to try: Signature Breath Big Breakfast: A hearty plate featuring scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and crispy sourdough toast. Perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Spaghetti Aglio Olio: Light, garlicky, and spiced to perfection, this dish was a delightful treat for the palate. Signature Matcha Latte: Creamy, with the right balance of bitterness and sweetness, it’s a must-try for matcha lovers. The cafe also boasts an impressive selection of desserts. The Chocolate Lava Cake, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, was a decadent end to my meal. The Service The staff at Breath Cafe were warm and attentive. They ensured that each guest felt welcomed and promptly catered to any requests. The baristas are knowledgeable and passionate, always happy to recommend a drink based on your preferences. What Sets It Apart One of the highlights of Breath Cafe is its commitment to sustainability. From eco-friendly packaging to sourcing local ingredients, the cafe’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint are commendable. They also host occasional workshops and events, making it more than just a dining spot but a community hub.

👀 I may be biased when making this review, because this restaurant has been with me throughout my whole college life as I stayed in the hostel in Tanjung Bungah. But all that aside, I really do think they serve one of the best Indian food around. Especially all the different types of roti they offer - economical and hits all the right spot! When I went back for a meal, it was so nostalgic and the taste maintained the same. Quality food, just as I remembered. The highlight for me would always be the Banana Leaf set, with fried squid. Come and have delicious Indian food at Sri Anada Bahwan! You won't be disappointed for sure! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort 📍 527 Jalan Tanjung Bungah, Tanjung Bungah, Pulau Penang. Location: very good, is on the main street, easy to access. The room is quite old, is a service apartment converted into Hotel. Inside, the room is very spacious, with a mini kitchen. All is looks old, bit still ok. The corridor needs to improve on the maintenance part; it looks dirty. Amenities are not bad; the swimming pool is always crowded with kids and families, and the mini market and salon are in the basement. What I enjoy the most is the beach, which beautiful compare to other parts of this area, and the restaurant on the beach selling nice drinks and food, with a fire dance show attraction. Suppose you are looking lovely beach and not expensive. This place is a good choice. #penang #beachlife #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

But most of them are kept in cages.Some are sick.Sadly, they have not been properly treated.The environment is a little bad, too The cats there are very docile, but they all look hungry.

There is a special kid's menu station. The service is excellent especially the F&B manager, En Isahak. There are 2 pools. The infinity pool at 3rd floor is very nice. Hotel location is at a quiet place. No night activities in the vicinity. Some Malay food places and a Chinese seafood restaurant nearby. Special thanks to the GM representative, Mr Wong who offered great service and extra mile service(helping my brother in law to jump start his car).
