Penang
Penang, often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient, is one of the most
picturesque and romantic cities in all of Asia. This tropical island lies in
the Indian Ocean, just off the north-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Penang received its name from the Pinang, or Betel Nut tree, once commonly
found on the island. Established as the first British trading post in the
Far East in 1776, Penang today is a bustling metropolis reflecting a
uniquely exotic blend of East and West.
The state of Penang consists of the island of Penang and a strip of land on
the mainland known as Seberang Bukit Mertajam. The Penang Bridge, one of the longest
in Asia at 13.5 km, links the two land masses. Penang is also connected by a
ferry service to the mainland.
On Penang Island sits the capital, Georgetown, a city steeped in history and
tradition yet sparkling with progress and modern development. Certain
sections of Penang present a quaint picture from the past where narrow side
streets, trishaws, temples and traders plying their goods, seem to belong to
a forgotten era. Penang is a shopper's paradise for goods old and new, at
bargain prices.
The island also boasts some of the best food in the region, ranging from
fabulous Chinese, Malay and Nyonya cuisines to foodstall favourites like
nasi kandar, char kway teow and penang laksa, all of which are cooked in a
uniquely 'Penang' way.
