Eat, makan, jiak and repeat : Long weekend in Penang

[therock]

So you have a few days free.. 

europe is too far, too expensive and well too much to organize 

now you check out Scoot and then you scope out $50 tickets to Penang and you have the perfect excuse for a getaway 👍 

its only 55 min away and you can be in the land of good food for not too much money 💰 

so come join me for a weekend jaunt !

firstly where do you stay ?

well despite it being officially frowned upon, you can get Airbnb or other options for a short stay or just stay in the hotel. 

You can stay in Georgetown where the food is or the Tanjung Bungah area with the fabulous sea view. Or Batu Ferringhi and eat durians until your eyeballs fall out.  Take your pick !
