Penang - The Pearl Of Orient

There is no place like Penang, the island where I was born, grew up and studied in. If you haven't visited it yet, then it's about time you did especially if you are a foodie lover like me.. Let me tell you why Penang is a must-visit place in your travel itinerary.

Penang embraces modernity while retaining its old world charm and traditions. These are reflected in its harmonious multiracial communities and well-preserved heritage buildings which led to George Town being accorded a listing as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site recently. Penang also lures visitors with its sumptuous cuisines and beautiful beaches.

Penang’s unique charms and alluring attributes together with its many-faceted cultures make it a favourite of many.The laid-back lifestyle on Penang is a result of the melting pot of cultures, food and  religions. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, particularly, is a mixture of Chinese, Malay, Indian and other races from cuisine to architecture.

Penang's fascinating culture is complemented by its golden beaches and tranquil seas. It is truly a tropical paradise that offers so much for everyone.
