So after one of the most terrifying drives of my life, we arrived in Georgetown, Penang at our guesthouse in the heart of China town. Side note, the trip was suppose to take 7-10 hours by minibus and we got there is 5...but yes we arrive safely.
I am pretty sure that Penang (well Malaysia in general) might be one of the most diverse places on earth. Touring the streets of Georgetown within one street we found a Anglican Church, Mosque, Hindu Temple, and Buddhist Temple, everything seems to be represented (minus we didn't find the Church of Scientology). The best part of all these cultures together... the food! Below is a visual description of how we spent most of our time in Penang...
 |
| Tandoori Chicken with Naan |
 |
| Ice Kacang - yes there are beans, corn and noodles in our ice cream |
 |
| Banana Leaf Curries! |
 |
| Fruit Buffet - Yes we tried Durian and yes it was awful! |
 |
| Laksa Asam Soup |
 |
| Wan Than Mee |
 |
| Cendol - yes this ice treat also has pea flour noodles and beans |
Okay okay, we didn't just eat while we were in Penang, we also visited many temples including the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia, Penang Hill, a exotic fruit farm, batik factory, northern beaches and a coffee and chocolate museum. The last one was still food but we did learn a lot about chocolate and coffee production.
