Things To Eat in Penang

Penang has always been one of my favourite cities to visit in Malaysia, because of the abundance of good food. It’s been more than half a year since I last visited this city of good eats so I’ve been on a lookout for a decent alternative in Klang Valley. That…

Eating out in Penang has always been a joy for both Jien and I, because there’s plenty of food options to choose from and so many places to discover. A friend of ours recommended that we try Pang Hainan Seafood in Tanjung Bungah – said to serve pretty good tai…
