The Pearl of the Orient - Penang Island

Hello, this is Coco and I would like to share with you our weekend break in Penang Island, a 5 hour drive north of Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia's capital city

But, before that, just to show where we are in relation to the rest of the world,
do enlarge to see the two tiny red dots - that's Malaysia ,
 divided into Peninsular ( that's where we're from ) and East Malaysia


We are separated by 500 km of the South China Sea



We reside in Kuala Lumpur, and we drove up north to Penang Island,
also known  as the "Pearl of the Orient"
look for George Town on the left hand corner

Penang is Malaysia's only island state and is a major holiday destination
many foreigners have also made it their second home



Penang, being an island is linked to the mainland by the Penang Bridge
an eight mile long bridge, the longest in Malaysia and
one of the longest in Asia





some beachfront pics, learn more here





We had a great time eating, eating and eating

there's a lot more to see but because
 we love to eat........
we just ate and ate

We trust you enjoyed this glimpse of our beautiful country
and we hope to share more with you soon
