Penang or Malacca

[surpize]

Penang & Malacca got different beauty.

hahah actually good idea too to do KL and Malacca tgt

I did that before~ went KL 3D2N then Malacca 2D1N over weekend for Jonker St market then back to Sg~

KL we went Batu Cave, shopping at bukit bintang, makan Chinatown Petaling Street, relax at the pool~

Malacca beside Jonker street, went to tausa pia wholesaler, eat nearby coffeeshop food~ if you haven't been there, can plan for extra day~

That time stayed at Sunway hotel. Just downstairs there are those pushcarts stalls that operate in the evening.

A few places that I went to eat were:

- Tsunami seafood
- Siam Road Char Kuey tiao
- Penang Road famous chendol
- Chinahouse

Yes, sunway hotel location good, stay there once.
2nd time stay double tree resort, very troublesome but very nice hotel.

I personally view it as ** being eased, rather than lifted...


Yes, if you've not been to Melaka, can consider this as well.


Ah, come to think of it, my Melaka trips also include visiting people that we've met on our previous trips there, visiting their shop or makan places, sit down chit-chat.

Ya, Melaka to me is like balik kampung, and I've targeted a November trip, depending on the situation by then.

Haha true true! sounds like you are pretty familiar with the place!

If you intend to drive within Malacca then take grab better, cos it's a small place~ the places of interest are not far away from each other~

Penang on the other hand is hard to find parking space as many of the parking lots are limited to the road side~ I have to park 1km+ away from the mural art street~ unless you going to shopping malls, Penang hill lower station then you will able to find proper parking facilities~ some places like Batu Ferringhi Night Market has private operated parking place, a vacant land that let you park and charge per entry rm5, which is close to a grab ride~

From Batu Ferringhi to Gurney area already rm10+
So rm5 is ok.
Agree with grab is the cheapest with no worry.

Hi, anyone can recommend private driver with mpv from Penang? Preferably Chinese.

 

[itopedo]

Grab is non existence in Penang…
Taxi is very limited…
Any other alternative will be very helpful..

Anyone been to Malacca recently? Any decent hotel or Airbnb to recommend which has safe parking? Preferably near the central area so can walk to shopping malls and Jonker.

Pre-COVID I always stay Hatten and Novotel, I read the recent reviews online like not as good as before. Even Doubletree also mixed reviews. Sometimes this is the sad part about Malaysia. They don't bother to maintain and let a once decent property turn into a sorry state after a few years.

Looks like Malacca got no new or newly renovated hotels.
