It was my first time visiting Penang!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy — sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, and occasionally pouring.

We went to a famous café called Makan Pagi, but the line was super long.

We ordered the café's popular dish that a staff member recommended to us. It was good, but a little too spicy for us.Read more

After the cafe, we tried to go to Penang Hill, but it suddenly started pouring rain, so we gave up halfway.

Later, we went back to the city and visited Pinang Peranakan Mansion.

The staff mainly spoke Chinese, so it was difficult for us to understand how to buy the tickets.

There were also many tourists (probably Chinese) renting traditional clothes and taking photos for a very long time, which made the place feel quite crowded.

However, the café inside the mansion was nice. It was quite expensive for Malaysia, but we were finally able to relax.

Honestly, I have to say — I wouldn't really recommend it.Read more

Since we wanted to avoid the crowds, we decided to visit some quieter jetties like Lim Jetty and Tan Jetty.

The view was beautiful, and we were able to relax there.

I found these places on Google Maps, and it turned out to be a great choice!Read more

Penang Hill, Penang, Malaysia
May 4 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
After the rain stopped, we went to Penang Hill.
This place might be a bit of a tourist trap, but since it was our first time, we decided to visit anyway.

The view was okay. It wasn't very beautiful because of the weather.

We ate Nasi Goreng and Penang Laksa at the food court.

The Nasi Goreng was okay, but I couldn't eat the Penang Laksa. It had a strong fish flavor and smelled a little strange to me.

Then we entered the Sky Walk area. The view was nice, but I expected to see a great city view or ocean view. Instead, it was mostly a forest view.

While we were heading back, a man beckoned to me and pointed at a tree branch.
There was some kind of animal on the branch!
According to the sign, it was a Common palm civet.

I wanted to take a good photo, but it was sleeping…
So my picture looked like, “What is that?” 😂Read more
