Visiting Penang: A few places I liked
Published on Jul 09, 2025
A few weeks ago I visited Penang Island, a Malaysian island in the Strait of Malacca. I collected a few places that I've really enjoyed below.
- Penang Hill, fun to go up by the funicular. Explore the "Habitat", a bit cooler air up there and nice views + monkeys.
- Ferringhi Bay, lots of little restaurants on that beach or close by if you keep walking along the coast.
- Yong Pin Restaurant, one of my favorite Dim Sum places anywhere. A new discovery!
- Narrow Marrow, a nice bar
- Le Petit Four Pâtisserie
- Your Local Club, good coffee and a good escape from the heat. In a very busy area of the town with lots of stores, restaurants around.
I took a lot of pictures in Penang, a small selection below or in the Photos section.
