Portraying Penang equates to portraying an island characterized by a captivating mix of British, Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences. This secluded island destination’s multicultural aspects are now deeply rooted throughout the locale. Taking immense pride in its capital Georgetown, under the protective umbrella of UNESCO since 2008, Penang is much more than a charming sandy beach destination encompassing an unspoiled jungle at its center. Often recognized as the unofficial culinary capital of Malaysia, it offers a plethora of ‘gourmet’ dining choices, from roadside food vendors to renowned names in the food industry. Suggestions for exploring the local food scene may unfold once you have navigated through this overview of Penang Hill and its most renowned temple - the Kek Lok Si.
