| Page Views: 1,766 Last Visit to Penang: - I Live Here | If you come for food or look for others.. by yuet29 - last update: May 3, 2005 |
I was born in a small island in north peninsular Malaysia called Penang Island. Penang consists of two parts including the island and a small part of the mainland. However, i can assure you those staying on island are so prideful for being a Penang lang until most of the time, we thought Penang is only the island. Yes, we called ourselves Penang lang, where ‘lang’ means people in hokkien, a kind of Chinese dialect. 99% of Chinese in Penang Island speak hokkien; even Malay and Indian here speak hokkien. Penang is unique as it is dominated mostly by Chinese.
Penang is recognized for its best hawker food in Malaysia. Malaysian outside Penang comes here not for colonial heritage, not for beaches but for food, food, food. If you never try the hawker food, don’t tell others you visited Penang, they will laugh at you, especially Penang lang.
If you come to Penang for FOOD or looking for OUTSKIRT ACTIVITIES , yes you are in a correct page.
We organise trips to go around Penang for some REAL GOOD FOOD , not those you get in a touristy area; and we have trips for trekking, camping and cycling too. Drop me a mail if you are interested and we can talk about that.
Other than that, we provide FREE walking tour in the old town, and of course we can recommend you some good food in town as well!
