Hi all,

is the NSHW all the way connected from s'pore to penang?
or ... near KL need exit and enter highway again?

thanks for any info

If 7 hours I think that's ok since I drove to Genting highland is about 5 to 6 hours.

if it takes you 5 to 6 hours to reach genting, then you won't reach penang in 7hours...

drove up to penang in august, and stopped at ipoh on our return
if you are driving, should include a stop over at ipoh

NS Highway Nilai Utara interchange (should be able to see "ipoh" direction)-> Elite Highway (all the way until shah alam, should be able to see "ipoh" direction)-> NKVE -> Sungai Buloh -> NS Highway -> PG

the toll is until juru only, to cross pg bridge have to pay toll separately.

Hi all,
About big place for rest and eat along NSHW from JB to penang, any guide (which km/ highway no/ sign) I should notice?
I mean no need to exit highway, something like petrol station but include restaurant, etc.

big place, maybe something like mac D or other fastfood?

thanks for any info

My advise for the stretch from Ipoh to Penang, is to stop when you se any major stops during that stretch. This is because every stop is about 1hr + away from each other. It unlike the JB KL stretch where u can have a stop every 15 mins drive.

I suggest u to stop at the Big A&W stop which is after Ayer Keroh. This is Big and nice

How often can you find this old-styled kopitiam in Singapore nowadays?

What should I say, you really should go out more often in Singapore.

I see this often in the area I work in.

Are u staying at Sunway Georgetown? if so, that is a very good hotel with superb street food opening in the evening. Every evening, there a 3 coffee shop open with street vendor along the road.

Take note that one coffeeshop is closed on Monday and the other coffeeshop on tuesday

Shopping ard komtar are nearby, within 15 mins walk. I am sure u will like the location if you like penang street food. I have stayed there all three time i was there

 

[confused]

Actually I am wondering which hotel to stay in penang. I am not a budget traveller, and would spend monies on good and nice hotel.

I am aiming for G hotel because its next to a capitaland mall and in front of gurney drive.

Are there better choices?

It really depends which are u want to be close to. If you want to be at gurney drive, G hotel is a good location.

If you want to be in Georgetown, u can try trader's hotel which is just next to Komtar.

I travel by jetstar from 16-19 Nov and booked Tune hotel. It's cheaper and less crowded to travel during weekdays. I plan to explore the island for a few places like Penang hill, Kek Lock Si, spice garden and fruit farm. At night, can stroll at Pasir malam and gerney drive hawker fair. It's just for food and relax at this destination.
