Penang Trip Report.

Sorry,the first word I opened in this blog post is because there has been an immense delay in posting,although I'm not very sure anyone's waiting for this,or not.Alright,long words short I will start it in a blink of an eye and it'll be based on 2 parts,first is about Penang,second is about the Food in Penang.

Getting there.
Well,there're various ways to get there,driving through the Penang bridge,using the ferry service at Butterworth,and of course flying in.

Luckily,this time,I have the honour of using 2 ways of transport to get there,by the bridge and ferry.

For those that never drive in to Penang,the rate of the Toll at the Penang bridge is RM7 for going in and coming out,while Penang issued Touch N Go can be benefited with a discount of RM1.4,bringing it to just RM5.6.To those that wish to use the Penang Ferry service,the price is fixed at RM7,and the same,you'll just have to pay entering to Penang Island.

The Bridge.

The supporting.

The Entry to Ferry.

The linkage to the ferry.

Upstairs the ferry,it commutes.

Downstairs the ferry,it ferries.

The town.Basically,it's just an island.Left by the English,it consists of lots of British styled buildings.I think I'll just let the pictures do the talking.


The island.

Closer view.

Even closer view.

One of the longest bridge in the world,Penang Bridge.It measures 13.5km across the mainland to the island.

Another landmark of Penang,KOMTAR.
