A walkable city where heritage and hip blend effortlessly, where the scent of local food dances through the air, and every street has a story to tell. 7:30 AM – Dim Sum at Lebuh Kimberley The day kicked off with breakfast at Lebuh Kimberley, where locals queue for old-school dim sum. Siew mai, har gao, and fluffy char siew bao arrived steaming hot — washed down with strong local kopi. The lively atmosphere was the perfect introduction to the morning buzz of George Town. 9:00 AM – Morning Stroll Around Komtar & Local Market Vibes The old heart of George Town’s modern development. Just nearby, I stumbled into a traditional morning market, where aunties bargained for fresh vegetables, hawkers shouted out breakfast specials, and the scent of fried noodles filled the air. The scene was lively and authentic — a beautiful snapshot of everyday Penang life. 10:30 AM – Mural Hunt in Armenian Street Next, I took a short walk toward Armenian Street to dive into the city’s famous street art. The highlight was definitely the “Children on a Bicycle” mural. 12:00 PM – Lunch & Cake at China House I stopped for lunch at the ever-iconic China House, known for its heritage layout and long list of decadent cakes. After a light meal, I treated myself to a slice of their famous tiramisu — easily one of the best I’ve had. 2:00 PM – Seaside Views at the Esplanade With a full stomach, I headed to the Esplanade (Padang Kota Lama) for a breezy stroll by the sea. Colonial buildings like City Hall and the Clock Tower made a stunning backdrop, while the sea breeze offered a refreshing break from the midday sun. 3:30 PM – Coffee & Calm at Norm Micro Roastery When the heat picked up, I ducked into Norm Micro Roastery — an aesthetic café hidden behind a minimalist entrance. With its high ceilings, soft lighting, and indoor greenery, it felt like a retreat from the city. I ordered a hand-brewed coffee and sat back for a well-earned break. 4:30 PM – Wandering Around Beach Street After coffee, I explored Beach Street, lined with grand colonial buildings, restored shophouses, and cool boutiques. The late afternoon light lit up the architecture beautifully. 5:30 PM – Sunset Stop at Chew Jetty (姓周桥) I ended my route here where time slows down on wooden boardwalks above the sea. Locals relaxed outside their homes, cats stretched in the fading sun, and the horizon glowed with that unmistakable Penang sunset. George Town, even in just a day, leaves an impression that lingers. Whether it’s the clatter of a dim sum tray, the brushstrokes of a mural, or the stillness of a seaside jetty — it all stays with you. I came for the food and history, but I left with much more.

#localfoodies Okay, let's be real, Penang is a foodie paradise. But sometimes, you crave something beyond just savory delights. Enter Cheevit Cheeva, the Thai dessert cafe that's been taking Instagram by storm, and now it's finally landed on our shores! I've been eyeing their menu for ages, drooling over pictures of their towering bingsu and decadent mango cheesecake. And let me tell you, the reality lived up to the hype! First Impressions: The cafe itself is super cute, with a modern and minimalist aesthetic. It's the perfect spot to chill with friends or enjoy a solo treat. What I Tried: I couldn't resist the Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu. It was a masterpiece! Layers of fluffy shaved ice, sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, and sticky rice – pure bliss. I also sampled their Thick Toast with Nutella and Bananas. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the combination of Nutella and bananas was simply irresistible. Why You Should Go: * Instagram-worthy: Let's be honest, the presentation is a major highlight. * Taste Explosion: The flavors are unique and incredibly satisfying. * Perfect for a Sweet Treat: Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just need a mid-week pick-me-up, Cheevit Cheeva is the place to be.

#hiddengems Address: 243, Beach St, Georgetown, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. While everyone is flocking to well-known and overhyped cafes in Georgetown, we found ourselves a little hidden gem called The Maker Cafe. Tucked along Beach Street, this cafe is perfect if you want a hideout from the heat of Penang and it's quiet too - good for your gathering with friends and loved ones too. What we loved the most was the Canele, perfectly crispy on the outside, and chewy and buttery on the inside. Delicious, we'll definitely have another go at it! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#wheretogo Walking along the streets if Penang, we stumbled upon this cafe. Unassuming from the exterior, you will be impressed by its interior. Tastefully decorated, well air-conditioned, plenty of seats and have really chill vibes. Menu was rather extensive, they serve mains such as pizza, pasta, poultry, desserts and beverages. We tried out a pasta dish — Tomyam Seafood Pasta but it was just okay. Dessert was good and the serving was generous. What I really liked about the cafe was how spacious it was. There were three seating areas and can accommodate many! Give it a try when you are in town! Address - 163, Lebuh Pantai, George Town, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang Ambiance/Facilities - Spacious, chill Highlights - Selection of cakes Avg. Price per Person - RM30-40 Rating - 3.5/5
