Penang is incredible! Join me on an exhilarating journey through Malaysia, where I hop on a high-speed, $30 business class train from Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth station. 🚅
Throughout my journey, you'll witness firsthand the warmth and hospitality of the Malaysian locals as I make new friends along the way. 🤝 From engaging conversations to shared laughter, every moment is filled with genuine connections and unforgettable memories.
But the adventure doesn't stop there! 🏝️ After arriving at Butterworth station, I embark on a picturesque ferry ride to Penang Island, where I dive into the heart of Georgetown. Get ready to be mesmerized by the charm of this historic city as I explore its rich culture and fascinating landmarks.
And what's an adventure without indulging in delicious local cuisine? 🍜 Prepare your taste buds for a culinary delight as I feast on the mouthwatering mee sotong with cuttlefish, followed by sipping on a refreshing coconut drink that's simply divine.
But that's not all - I'll be checking into the brand new sleep box hotel, providing you with an exclusive peek into its modern amenities and cozy accommodations. 🛏️
Join me on this epic journey filled with laughter, friendship, and the discovery of hidden gems in Malaysia.

You said it right in the first place, Pinang is the original Malay name ( Pulau Pinang / Pinang Island). Penang is the Anglicised name of Pulau Pinang.

@MagicalKid 3 ай бұрын

Normally people say it the anglicised way if they're just saying "Penang" and it's only when you add "Pulau" in front that it becomes "Pulau Pinang", just hearing Pinang sounds weird because it's a tree.

@AnasSuhaimi 2 ай бұрын

@@MagicalKid It's only recently that "normally people say it the anglicised way". Up till the 80s most would still call it Pulau Pinang. Those who call it Penang are either Chinese or people who are mengada-ngada.

Hi Brent, welcome to Penang! Firstly, stick to "Hello" or "Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)", "Selamat Petang (Good Afternoon)" or "Selamat Malam (Good Night)" when you are wishing anyone. The manner you greet people is - in Malaysia - reserved for Muslims and therefore can be a little sensitive to some people. Also you may wish Muslims a "Blessed Ramadan" rather than "Happy Ramadan". Georgetown, Penang is the second largest city in Malaysia and so we do have a lot of big chains - yes, Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, McDonald's - they are all here. Check out the Kek Lok Si Pagoda temple, go up Penang Hill (if you have time) and check out the seaviews (careful swimming in the sea as there may be jellyfish). In the Georgetown Heritage enclove, look out for the street art, enjoy the religious and cultural sites (you saw some already) and visit the clan jetties. Most of all, try out the food - thats what Penang is best known for. Enjoy and stay safe.

@mikeovi 3 ай бұрын

Good Advice for this naive tourist to take note on the proper greetings here in Malaysia.

@sophiehockey4071 Ай бұрын

What a stupid comment. Greetings are not reserved for Muslims. In fact you should appreciate that Brent Trimm is respecting Islam and greeting in Arabic. We should encourage him. Not discourage him

The cuttlefish used in Mi Sotong is the dried cuttlefish and then rehydrated with hot water. It's more flavourful that way. And it's not really Indian Muslim food, originally. Indian don't have noodles in their tradition. And they also don't have sambal, especially that kind of sambal. The noodle is chinese influence, the sambal sotong is Malay influence. I believe it's originally a Penang/Kedah Malay food, which as later sold by the Indian Muslim and became identic with them. Same case with Cendol. It's a Javanese desert originally, and later got picked up by the Indian Muslim. Now everyone think it's an Indian Muslim thing. The Indian Muslim they're from India, obviously, but the thing is, up till 1980s, many of them were still Indian nationals who would travel back and forth between Malaysia and their Indian homeland. They'd be here for 2 years, peddling food on the street, and then go home for a few months. Now, not all their street food in India would do well with the locals tastebud. So they'd pick up some local foods, give it a little twist, and sell it.

Question, did you spend any time in KL at all, or did you immediately head towards Penang after arriving in KL from Singapore? I'm sure it makes for good content, and I've done this route for pleasure before, if you're looking to get from Singapore to Penang, or Penang to Singapore the fastest way possible, there are direct flights between Singapore Changi and Penang International Airport. The entire trip between Singapore to Georgetown will take you less time than it does to get from Singapore to KL city centre, because the Penang airport is much closer Georgetown than KLIA is to the KL city centre.

My man lucked out. I don't see many travelers ate Padang Kota Lama Mee Sotong. One of the best on the island. Some of the more famous foods in Penang : Mee sotong. ;) Nasi Kandar, Ali Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang (very spicy though), Asam Laksa, Char Koay Teow, Wan Tan Mee, There's one famous Banana leaf place in Little India, and of course the street foods, just to name a few. It's all available within Georgetown itself and all within walking distances. For foods in Penang, generally if you see large food courts, or tons of street foods, you'll be fine, most of them will be good. For individual shops and restaurants, or tiny little places, just do a little bit of research, you'll find some of the best the island has to offer. Now, if you're willing to visit further south/south east part of the island, there are also tons of choices, and you won't see a lot of travelers in southeastern part of the island. So there ya go. Ask away ! :)
