All About Penang

Brother and Sister on Swing Mural

Penang adalah salah satu kota besar di Malaysia yang lokasinya sejam naik pesawat dari Kuala Lumpur dengan harga tiket affordable kisaran IDR 100.000+++, dan dari Jakarta serta beberapa kota di Sumatera sudah ada direct flight ke Penang seharga under 1 juta PP kalau ada promo Airasia 😆 makanya rajin check website Airasia biar nggak ketinggalan promo mereka 😂

Penang is one of the major cities in Malaysia which is located about 1 hour by plane from Kuala Lumpur with affordable ticket prices around USD 10 😄 and from Jakarta and several cities in Sumatra there are direct flights to Penang with ticket prices under 1 millions (round-ways) when Airasia having promos 😆 that's why, we should keep checking Airasia website 😂

Penang 은 쿠알라룸프에서 10달러의 싼 가격으로 1시간 정도 거리에 위치한 말레이시아에서 가장 큰 도시 중 하나에요 😄👌 그리고 자카르타 및 몇몇 도시에서 에어아시아 프로모션으로 백만 루피아 미만의 직항이 있어요(왕복) 😆 그래서 에어아시아 웹사이트를 계속해서 확인하셔야 프로모션을 놓치지 않을 수 있어요 하하하하하 😂

Ohya, Penang juga terkenal dengan rumah sakit dan banyak orang Indonesia pergi berobat ke Penang karena harga rumah sakitnya terbilang murah especially bagi yang tinggal di Sumatera karena jarak lebih dekat ke Penang daripada ke Jakarta 😁 dan di Penang sendiri ada satu area famous bernama George Town yang berjarak sekitar 20-30 menit saja dari bandara by car 😂

Penang also famous for their hospitals, and many Indonesians visit Penang because hospital prices are cheap especially for those who live in Sumatra. Yeaah, the distance from Sumatera is more closer to Penang than to Jakarta (and not many traffic jam) 😁 and in Penang there is one famous area so called George Town which only about 20-30 minutes from the airport by car 😂

Penang은 병원으로도 유명해서 수마트라에 사는 수많은 인도네시아인들이 싼병원비 때문에 가기도 해요. 네 Penang이 자카르타보다 더 가까운건 사실이에요 (교통체증도 없어요) 😁 그리고 Penang에는 GEORGE TOWN라는 유명한 지역이 있는데 공항에서 자동차로 20-30분 거리에 있어요 😂

I Want Bao Mural

Kebetulan, dari sekian banyak pilihan wisata Penang pada akhirnya gue memilih George Town 😍 karena di sana ada banyak makanan enak dan mudah untuk kita yang mau pergi ke mana-mana 😄 Well, kenapa gue bilang mudah? Karena area wisata di George Town bisa disambangi dengan jalan kaki, walau gue tetap naik GRAB sih mengingat gue harus menyimpan energi 😂

And, from many tourist attractions in Penang, I chose George Town. Because there are lots of delicious food and easy to walk 😄 why did I say it's easy? Because the tourist area in George Town can be visited by walk, even though most of time, I keep using GRAB 😂 HUFT.

운좋게 저는 많은 관광명소 중에서 George Town을 선택했어요. 왜냐면 거기에 맛있는 음식들이 많이있고 어디든지 가기 쉽기 때문이에요 😄✌ 왜 제가 쉽다고 했을까요? George Town의 관광지역은 걸어서 이곳 저곳을 돌아다닐 수 있게 되있어요. 저는 힘을 아끼려고 대부분 GRAB을 이용했지만요😂

Di George Town ada apa, Sis? Yang pasti ada ART STREET! Semacam mural karya seniman yang mana sampai ada maps khususnya segala guys 😆 Sooo, kita tinggal ikuti maps tersebut untuk cari mural yang kita sukai, dan tips dari gue better datang saat pagi hari kalau berminat mural hunting karena masih syepiiii jadi puas mau foto sana sini 🙈 soalnya, kalau sudah agak siangan biasanya sudah penuh turis dan matahari pun mulai terik 😪

Eniho, selain wisata Art Street masih ada banyak wisata lain 😍 Bagi teman-teman yang suka museum bisa juga visit Blue Mansion dan Penang Peranakan Mansion 😉👌 jadi mansion ini semacam rumah peninggalan saudagar China yang pindah ke Malaysia 😁 sejarahnya panjang, salah satunya Blue Mansion yang dibangun oleh saudagar kaya yang bercita-cita ingin punya rumah untuk 7 turunan. Makanya di Blue Mansion sampai ada 38 kamar. UWAAAA! 😱

What's in George Town? Certainly, there is ART STREET! Sort of murals made by artists and they have maps 😆 So we just need to follow the maps, and I suggest you to come early morning if you are interested in mural hunting. Because the area still empty, so you can take much photos. The thing is, if you late, usually the area will be full of tourists and the sun starts to blazing 😪

Anyhow, besides Art Street, there are other touristic areas 😍 for you who like museums, you can visit the Blue Mansion and Penang Peranakan Mansion 😉 these mansion are a heritage from ancient Chinese who moved to Malaysia. Blue Mansion was once built by wealthy Chinese who dreams to have a home for 7 descendants. So he made mansion with 38 rooms. UWA! 😱

그럼, George Town에는 뭐가있을까요? 확실히 거기에는 ART STREET이 있어요! 예술가들이 그린 벽화종류가 있는데 지도가 있을 정도에요 😆 그래서 저희는 지도를 따라 좋아보이는 벽화를 찾으러 갔어요. 벽화에 관심이 있으시다면 여기는 아침에 가시는걸 추천드려요. 아침에는 거리가 한산해서 이처럼 사진을 찍을 수 있기 때문이에요. 이미 늦었다면 대부분의 길이 관광객들로 가득차있을 거고 해가 내리쬐고 있을거에요 😪

여하튼 Art Street 지역외에도 다른 관광지가 있어요. 박물관을 좋아하시는 분들은 Blue Mansion과 Penang Peranakan Mansion에 가보실 수 있어요 😉 이 저택은 말레이시아로 이주한 고대왕국 출신의 유산이에요. 그리고 역사는 수백년 전에 7명의 자손을 위한 집을 가지는게 꿈인 중국인 부호에 의해 지어졌어요. 그래서 그는 38개의 방을 만들었죠. UWA! 😱

Penang Peranakan Mansion

Blue Mansion sekarang sudah dibeli oleh firma arsitek Malaysia dan direnovasi jadi hotel tanpa mengurangi nilai sejarahnya. Tapi jujur gue nggak berani menginap di sana 😂 By the way, gue telat ikut free tour Blue Mansion karena free tour mereka punya jadwal yang nggak cocok sama jadwal gue. Jadi gue pilih main ke Penang Peranakan Mansion yang terbuka setiap saat 😄

Blue Mansion now has been bought by a Malaysian architect firm and renovated into a hotel without reducing the historical value. But to be honest, I still didn't dare to stay there 😂💦 By the way, I was late taking a free tour at Blue Mansion because their schedule didn't match with my schedule. So I ended up chose Penang Peranakan Mansion 😄

Blue Mansion은 말레이시아 건축가들이 샀고 역사적 가치의 훼손 없이 호텔로 고쳐졌어요. 하지만 저는 거기 머무르지는 않았어요 하하 😂💦 그건 그렇고, 일정이 맞지 않아서 Blue Mansion에 늦게 도착해버렸어요. 그래서 상시개방인 Penang Peranakan Mansion에 가기로 결정했어요 😄

Penang Little India

Bagi yang mau ke Blue Mansion, jadwal free guide tour ada yang jam 11 pagi, jam 2 siang dan 4 sore. Setau gue selain jadwal itu nggak bisa masuk ke dalam untuk lihat-lihat, however apabila temans mau memastikan sila ceki-ceki langsung ke sana 😁 Meanwhile karena gue nggak bisa mampir Blue Mansion, gue jadi melipir ke Penang Peranakan Mansion yang lokasinya nggak jauh dari Little India, dan di sepanjang jalan gue mendengar musik India terus berkumandang membuat gue ingin bergoyang dan berdendang acha~ acha~ 💃

Eniwei dari area Art Street ke Penang Peranakan Mansion cuma butuh 10 menit jalan kaki. However gue nggak terlalu lama main di sana karena gue bukan anak museum sepertinyah alias cepat bosan 😅 jadi gue pilih cari makan dan memang di Penang kegiatan gue lebih banyak soal makan 😂💥 you guys harus tau makanan di Penang itu enak, salah satunya Nasi Kandar 😍

Dan resto Nasi Kandar pun ada banyak di Penang, tapiiiiii gue akan kasih info dua resto Nasi Kandar terdabest yaitu Nasi Kandar Line Clear (buka 24 jam) dan Nasi Kandar Beratur (buka hanya malam saja) 😍 gue sangat merekomendasikan teman-teman untuk minimal coba Nasi Kandar 😁 walau banyak yang bilang Nasi Kandar mirip Nasi Padang tapi tetap beda temans, karena bumbunya lebih pedas. Lumayanlah, silakan coba untuk sekedar pengalaman 😆✌

Nah, selain Nasi Kandar, gue mau rekomendasikan satu resto yang gue suka sampai bolak-balik ke sana 😍 namanya China House! Tapi makanannya bukan Chinese Food 😍 China House ini masuk list TOP 5 resto di Penang ~ dan gue suka semua makanan mereka 😂

For those who want to go to Blue Mansion, there is a free guide tour schedule at 11am, 2pm and 4pm. However, as far as I know, we only can go inside based on their free tour schedule, but to be sure you can check at location 😁👌 Meanwhile, because I couldn't visit Blue Mansion, I turn to Penang Peranakan Mansion, which isn't far from Little India, and along the way I keep listening many India's song that makes me want to dance acha~ acha~ 💃

Anyway from Art Street area to Penang Peranakan Mansion only takes 10 minutes by walk. But, I didn't stay too long because I got bored quickly 😅 so I chosed to look for food instead. Well, if I could be honest, my activities in Penang is all about eat ~ 😂💥 and you should know that food in Penang are delicious 🤪 one of the famous food is Nasi Kandar 😝

And there are also many Nasi Kandar restaurants in Penang, but I'll let you know the best two of Nasi Kandar restaurants namely Nasi Kandar Line Clear (open 24 hours) and Nasi Kandar Beratur (open only at night) 😍 I highly recommend you to try Nasi Kandar for once because it's soooooooo good. Although many people say that Nasi Kandar taste like Nasi Padang, but it is still different, because it is more spicy and strong. Not bad for experience 😆✌

And besides Nasi Kandar, I wanna recommend a restaurant that I like so much which makes me went there few times called China House! But the food isn't Chinese Food and this China House is a part of TOP 5 best restaurants in Penang. Their food literally crazey delicious 😂

Blue Mansion에 가려고 하시는 분들은 오전11시, 오후2시,4시에 무료 가이드 일정이 있어요. 제가 알기로 무료 가이드 일정에 맞춰서 들어갈 수 있는데 가보시면 확인하실 수 있어요 😁👌 Blue Mansion에 들어가지 못하는 동안에 Little India에서 멀지않은 Penang Peranakan Mansion으로 발길을 돌렸어요, 가는길에 춤추고 싶게 만드는 인도음악을 많이 들었어요 하하하하하 💃💃💃

어쨌든 Art Street 지역에서 Penang Peranakan Mansion까지는 걸어서 10분정도걸려요. 하지만 박물관을 좋아하지도 않고 금방 지루해져서 오래 머무르지는 않았어요 😅 그래서 저는 음식 찾는걸 선택했어요 헤헤헤 실제로 Penang 에서의 활동들은 먹고, 먹고 또 먹는거였어요 😂💥 Penang 의 음식이 맛있다는걸 여러분들이 아셔야 해요 하하하하하하. 유명한 음식중 하나는 Nasi Kandar에요~

거기에 많은 Nasi Kandar 식당들이 있지만 가장 좋은 두군데를 추천할게요. 바로 Nasi Kandar Line Clear(24시간 영업)와 Nasi Kandar Beratur(야간영업)이에요 😍 저어어어엉말 맛있어서 Nasi Kandar 한번 드셔보시는걸 추천드려요. 많은 사람들이 Nasi Kandar의 맛이 Nasi Padang과 비슷하다고 하지만 좀더 맵고 맛이 강하다는 점에서 달라요. 나쁘지 않은 경험이에요 😆✌

Nasi Kandar 외에 제가 좋아서 여러번 가게된 곳을 추천드릴게요 하하하. China House라는 곳이에요! 하지만 음식은 중국음식이 아니죠 😍 그나저나 China House은 Penang 에서 톱5에 드는 음식점이고 항상 1,2위를 다퉈요 ~ 음식들이 다 좋아요. OMG! 이 글을 쓰면서도 맛있었던 음식들이 계속 생각이 나요. HUFT! 😂

Choco Torte Almond and Juice from China House

Meng-ngemeng China House jual banyak cake dan yang paling gue suka Choco Torte Almond. Beuh mantap! 😝 menu breakfast mereka enak, dari sandwich cheese egg (ini bukan sandwich biasa dengan bentuk standar) yang enak, sampai duck menu (gue lupa namanya) juga enak 😂 tadinya gue pikir sandwich-nya akan standar, tapi ternyata BEDA!

Pokoknya kalau ada yang ke Penang mampir China House ya~ Lokasinya di area Art Street jadi sambil hunting mural bisa break makan ~ 😍 well eniwei, selain Nasi Kandar dan China House, jangan lupa mampir Hawker Centre! Dan menurut gue, dua Hawker Centre paling oke ituuuu Gurney Drive dan Esplanade Park. So, teman-teman tinggal pilih yang terdekat 😄👌

China House sell lots of cakes and the best one is Choco Torte Almond 😝💕 Their breakfast menu also delicious, from cheese egg sandwich (this is not an ordinary sandwich), to duck menu (I forgot the name) is so soo soooo much delicious. I thought their sandwiches were going to be standard like most sandwiches, but it turned out to be DIFFERENT! DAEBAAAK.

Anyway, if anyone goes to Penang, please visit China House, okay? The location is in Art Street area, so while hunting murals, you can take a break and eat 😆 in addition of Nasi Kandar and China House, you should not forget to stop by Hawker Centre! And in my opinion, the two best Hawker Centres are Gurney Drive and Esplanade Park. You can choose the nearest one 😄👌

China House는 다양한 종류의 케익을 팔아요 그 중에 최고는 Choco Torte Almond에요. 와 완전 미쳤어요! 😝 그리고 아침식사로 치즈달걀 샌드위치(보통 샌드위치가 아니에요. 드셔보시면 아마 맛에 중독될거에요) 메뉴에서 😍 오리 메뉴와 오믈렛까지(이름은 잊었어요) 먹었는데 맛있었어요. 거기 샌드위치가 일반적일 거라고 생각했는데 다르더라구요!

Penang에 간다면 꼭 China House에 가보세요, okay? 위치는 Art Street 지역에 있어서 벽화를 찍으러 다니다가 쉬면서 먹을 수 있어요. 가격도 저렴한편이라 주머니가 털리지는 않을 거에요 😆 거기에 더해 Hawker Centre에 들리는 것도 잊지마세요 ! 제 생각에 Penang에서 가장 좋은 두개의 Hawker Centres는 Gurney Drive와 Esplanade Park에요. 따라서 여러분은 더 가까운 곳을 선택할 수 있어요.

Final highlight-nya adalah mayoritas tempat wisata Penang gratis alias nggak bayar kecuali tiket masuk mansion. Terus dari bandara ke George Town better naik GRAB, karena tarifnya murah sekitar 20 MYR / IDR 70.000. Apalagi kalau perginya ramean 😍 dan sebisa mungkin cari tempat menginap di George Town agar mudah kalau mau jalan kaki ke mana-mana 😁

The final highlight is majority of tourist areas in Penang are free, a.k.a no need to pay unless the mansion's entrance ticket. And from airport to George Town better ride a GRAB Taxi so you can go straight to your accommodation, because the price is cheap around 20 MYR / USD 5. Not bad, especially if you visit Penang together with your family or friends. And I suggest you to search a place to stay in George Town area so you can easily walk everywhere 😁

마지막 장점은.. Penang 의 거의 모든 관광지는 무료라는 저이에요. 다시말해 저택 입장 티켓이 이라면 돈낼데가 없다는 거에요. 그리고 공항에서 George Town까지 GRAB을 이용하는게 더 나아요. 그래서 20링깃(5달러)면 저렴하게 숙소로 바로 갈 수 있어요. 특히 친구들과 가신다면 나쁘지 않죠. 저는 George Town 지역에 머무르시길 추천드려요. 그래야 걸어서 어디든 가실 수 있거든요 😁

Meski gue kebanyakan naik GRAB karena malas jalan, jujur tarifnya tetap bersahabat 😂 biasa gue cuma kena tarif terendah 5 MYR / IDR 17.500 karena jarak dari satu tempat ke tempat lain yang berdekatan 😆 nevertheless, sepertinya segitu cukup post gue mengenai Penang. Semoga sedikit memberi gambaran untuk teman-teman yang mau ke sana 😍

Although I mostly use GRAB because I am lazy to walk 🙈 the price remains cheap. Usually I got price around 5 MYR / USD 1 for short distance 😆✌ nevertheless, I think it's enough. Hopefully it can give a little sneak peek for you who wanna go there 😍 go grab your ticket!

제가 걸어다니는거에 게을러서 GRAB을 이용했지만 가격이 비싼건 아니었어요 하하하 대부분 짧은 거리라서 5링깃(1달러++) 정도였거든요 😆 그럼에도 불구하고 충분히 돌아다녔죠. 거기 가시는 분들에게 조금이나마 도움이 되었길 바래요. 그리고 개인적인 의견으로 Penang은 주말 2박3일 여행으로 충분해요 ~ 😉👌

그러니 얼른 프로모션 티켓을 확인하러 가세요 💓
