Penang from the Hill

I have always wanted to go to Penang simply because it has a romantic name with Hokkien Chinese dominant environment. Thanks to my boss and colleagues, I could make it a trip there during my leave.
I am really impressed by the way architectures are built, the seasoning food are cooked, the accent people are talking with, and the tranquil scenery is like. I do not know if I will come back or not, but one thing for sure, I love this little enclave-alike Malaysian city.

Peranakan Mansion

Yes, if you were a fan of Singapore TV series Little Nyonya, you surely remember this place. I am obssessed with Peranakan culture from food to clothing. Penang might not be the best place to know the culture, but this mansion is confirmed a must-go if you ever come to pay a visit here.
