Penang Short Trip – Business + Local Explore

⸻ ✨ Penang Short Trip – Work Done, Time for Fun! Wrapped up my business in Penang and had a bit of time to explore — and honestly, I’m glad I did. This city never disappoints when it comes to food and chill vibes. 🛏️ Where I Stayed Stayed at Cititel Express Hotel — simple, clean, comfy, and super convenient. It’s right in the middle of George Town, so you can walk to local food stalls, malls, and even some cool street art spots. No car needed, just vibes. Nearby KOMTAR, 1st Avenue Mall, Hin Bus Depot Art Centre 🌉 Chill Walks & Sunset Views Took a relaxing walk to Xing Zhou Bridge — you can see the famous Penang Bridge from there! It’s a nice spot to clear your head after a long day or just enjoy the breeze. 🍜 Let’s Talk Food (the real reason I travel 😋) Penang’s food scene is 🔥. Here’s what I managed to squeeze in: • Char Kuey Teow – Wok hei goodness, must-try • Hokkien Mee – Spicy soup, perfect for noodle lovers • Ou Jian (Oyster Omelette) – Crispy, eggy, and full of flavor • Yam Rice with Pork Soup – Comfort food level 100 • Ais Kacang & Cendol – Icy, sweet, and super refreshing in the heat ☕ Café Stop: Narrow Marrow Found a cute little café called Narrow Marrow — their tiramisu is sooo good and not too sweet (which is rare!). Small place but big character.l Overall, it was a short but sweet trip. Penang is the kind of place where even a quick walk around the block turns into a mini food adventure. Definitely coming back for more (and maybe an island hop next time 😉). #travel #happening #thingstodo #staycation #familytravel #citydaytours #enjoytrip #chill
