A trip to The Top Penang, is definitely a must for those visiting Penang… Currently the offer price is RM75 per adult or RM55 per child for the 3 main attractions – aquarium, Jurassic and skywalk… Or you can get full tickets at RM108 per adult or RM88 per child for all 16 attractions for the whole day…
The recommended way to see everything that The Top Penang offers in Komtar is to get a Fun Pass which allows multiple entries to every attraction except the Augmented Reality Virtual, The Gravityz, Formula One & TOP Capsule. It costs RM78 for MyKad Malaysian holders and RM99 for all other adults, and RM48 for Malaysian children/RM58 for foreign children.
The main attraction is on Level 68 where one gets to experience the open-air Rainbow Walk and look down via the glass to 249 metres above ground. So when compared to the sky towers listed above admittedly the Top Komtar isn’t that high but this view still left me breathless.
It’s not cheap at RM68 for foreigners and RM48 for Malaysians, but it is an experience you won’t get in many places. I don’t regret it. There is a number of extra things to entice you (for extra cost) such as dinosaurs and waxworks, but we didn’t bother.
The Gravityz is definitely a must do activity in Penang! It is a truly exhilarating experience and in life, we need to challenge ourselves and our fears from time to time to learn how to appreciate life better….
Tech Dome is a perfect place for children to learn while parents spending quality time at Tech Dome with their family. Tech Dome also have some interesting event from time to time, like the Women in Science, Glo-Walk, The Mental Health Series, Combating Dengue, Robomania, Magic of Science and more ! Tech Dome also had their Japanese Technology and Cultural Weekend on October last year to demonstrate Japanese companies on both culture and technology that based in Penang.
he TOP Boutique Aquarium is another addition to Penang where they are spanning across 30,000 square feet with up to 100 fish tanks and 150 different species of marine and freshwater fish in the aquarium.
Reasons to visit Cheong Fatt Tze – The Blue Mansion Penang: fantastic location; a culturally significant stay in a beautifully maintained museum with luxurious amenities and modern-day comforts; lap pool and garden; Indigo restaurant.
The Blue Mansion is now reopened, welcoming Penangites to stay and dine.
We stayed in the largest room category, the Han Suites, which is extra spacious and ideal for our family of four. All their rooms carry names with significance to Cheong Fatt Tze; for instance, our suite was called Mandarin, in honour of Cheong Fatt Tze who was recognised as the last Mandarin of the Highest Order by Empress Dowager. The grand chambers is appointed with a comfortable king-sized bed, as well as a separate sitting room with a day bed (which converts into a bed for the kids at night) and a dining table. We loved the modern bathroom, equipped with a shower and a gorgeous clawfoot bathtub. You will also find various other contemporary comforts and amenities such as a coffee machine, complimentary mini-bar, air-conditioning and complimentary WiFi for your comfort. The traditional sarong provided is a nice touch, where guests are invited to relax like a local. Every evening, local kuih is delivered to your room as part of their turndown service.
As for us – we’ll definitely recommend all three stalls mentioned above!
♥Verdict: Definitely a place that you should put into your Penang food hunting list!
Located at Lebuh Cecil these Penang Street Food are few of the best that highly recommended, with the champion won for the Jawa Mee competition, this stall is one of the shinning stars that shouldn't be missed. As for the Laksa, the taste and the flavor is very appetizing and packed with ingredients, these are the great Street Food of Penang.
Clan Jetty in Penang is symbol of rich culture and heritage. It is situated along the eastern waterfront of George Town. Originally it was built as landing jetties by Chinese Hokkein immigrants in the 19th century. Each of these jetties is associated with different clans that can easily be identified by their family surnames. At its peak, there were over 20 clan jetties in the area; seven of which are standing to this day and are currently protected by the UNESCO listing since 2008.

After the visit to Hean Boo Thean Floating Temple, we made our way to Lee Jetty and Tan Jetty in search of dinner. The beckoning lights of these Chinese Clan Jetties during Chinese New Year were very inviting. We decided to call it a night after dinner. The visit to the famous Chew Jetty and…

There are a few long established stalls such as Penang Famous Curry Mee (80 years of history passing down from the grandfather), Penang Famous Wan Tan Mee (40 over years of history) and Penang Famous Koay Teow Thng (30 years of history and currently manned by the 2nd generation). These stalls have been running for decades since when they were at Lebuh Chulia (Chulia Street). We hope that these stalls would remain and keep running for many years to come as these are the gems of Penang Island.
Penang is known for its street food scene and one of the must-visit spots is the Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls. In the evenings, the place transforms into a food street serving a variety of dishes like Curry Mee, Char Koay Teow and Wan Tan Mee. The lively atmosphere and busy street creates a sense of authenticity and somehow makes the food yummier!
We also ordered this from the stall right in front of where we sat. The Char Kway Teow was good with good smoky flavour imparted from frying process as well as the enticing flavour of the soy sauce, chili, egg and all the ingredients.
