Anyone been to Penang?

Thanks Dachlostar for your advice. Penang sounds lovely, I'm looking for lazy days by the pool/beach and eating out, so it sounds perfect really. We are also heading over to KL for 3 days after, very exciting!

My parents love Penang and they've travelled all over the world.

Hayley, my DH has been to Penang and he says it's "awesome"...apparently there's a little resort island just off Penang (he can't think of the name right now) which is fantastic, but he loves Penang proper too. It's the place where he's shopped the best, and he learnt to eat Indian food there too . It's a nice little cultural mixing pot.

glad u decided to do both. i recommend ice kacang at the outdoor food markets, in penang i always used to hire a motorbike to get around (took the baby in the sling), and in KL theres great amusement parks at amazing prices. hell, even the shopping centres are like ultra chic art design experiences. enjoy!

Sorry I missed this earlier. I recommend Penang too. KL is an interesting city, and has good shopping, but you can go to interesting cities anywhere. Penang has a great atmosphere and I really enjoyed my couple of days there. And the food was really good too.

I hope you enjoy your holiday.
