-Day Penang Citywalk: Explore Nanyang Old Dreams Food and Stroll Guide 🇲🇾

Penang, a small city in the South Seas that is said to be more Cantonese than Guangdong and more Fujian than Fujian, has the highest proportion of Chinese in Malaysia. It seems very similar to the mainland but also integrates local styles, making it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway in my mind! Two days are just enough to enjoy both the delicious food, including durian, and to take a city walk to see the colorful and retro buildings.

😋【Recommended Foods】
1️⃣ Green House Prawn Noodles
Reportedly recommended by the Michelin Guide, this popular place serves very fragrant and delicious food!
2️⃣ Bibik’s Kitchen
When in Penang, you must try Peranakan cuisine. This place is not far from the Blue Mansion, and it’s best to make a reservation.

Some people might find the taste a bit unusual, but I personally think it’s pretty good.
3️⃣ Chulia Street Night Market
Not far from the Eastern & Oriental Hotel and Love Lane, this night market offers great food. The stir-fried kueh teow and grilled items are all good, and there’s a durian stall where the owner is very honest and the prices are fair.
