Yes, that is the Twins ah Ma curry noodle I am referring to. Thanks.

The location seems a bit Wulu. Need to drive very far?

Erm....depends on where u are coming from. If from Georgetown around 20 mins under normal traffic condition. If from the Airport, takes about 35 mins and from Batu Feringghi,takes about one hour.

Do a google map of Penang. I just did a rough guide from your hotel to mine (Armenian Street Heritage Hotel). It will be quite a long walk to reach.

What is the recommendation for a couple for 3N4D tour in Penang?

We are not renting car or drive. Most probably will prefer to take bus and if no choice, by taxi.

Thanks

Since I have 4 days in Penang, is it worth exploring Butterworth for a day? and what is interesting in Butterworth?

Not been there, so can't advise, but someone told me this hotel has many food and stuff within walking distance.

Hope you can share your view of this hotel later, coz I'm thinking of staying there for my Penang trip. :)

Will have 1 full-day in Penang next Friday (06:00 - 22:00). Our purpose in Penang is purely food. We have identified the the following dishes :

1. Air Itam Assam Laksa (The only one we would travel out of the way for)
2. Char Kuey Teow (Suggestions?)
3. Hokkien Mee (Suggestions?)
4. Lor Mee (Suggestions?)
5. Nasi Kandar (Not a priority but if it's along the way)
6. Really good kopitiam kopi (Suggestions?)
7. Wanton Mee ( If it's worth it as compared to say Medan/Singapore/BKK)
8. Anything else we can try?

Using Sunway Hotel Georgetown as the center, would appreciate some guide and tips to maximise our time given our location to eat as much food as possible within our 1 day frame.

Thanks in advance!

Butterworth has a good forest recreation park which is suitable for bird watching.you may visit tow boo kong temple. One of the finest temple in Penang.

Dont bother going Up to penang hill.
What a waste of time.

Nothing to see up there and so poorly developed.
