  • Super excited to arrive in Penang Malaysia just as it opens back up to the world!
    We are falling in love all over again as we explore George Town as a family.
    If you want to do your own super fun walking tour of George town in Penang, Pete has just updated this amazing self guided tour with a handy little map of all our favourite places
    thebackpacking...
    As we explore this epic unesco world heritage site, we get to introduce our children to the most famous and iconic art work such as the boys on the bike. They look so much like our boys!??
    We also visited the famous Peranakan Mansion, perfect for learning about the beautiful local culture.
    Though a few places were closed we were excited to find many of our favourite eating places open and even discovered some new places to eat from a local recommendation.
    Join us as we explore Little India and China town and just have a giggle as we feel free again as we travel as a family!
    We are super excited to be back in Malaysia and plan to do a lot of explore as a family as it opens back up!
    Thank you for joining our journey,

      I'm proud to born in Penang, the way we eat chicken foot is really eating all the skin by removing all the bones using our tongue to squeeze the bone out to the plate. I learned eating chicken feet when I was 15. Enjoy your trip in Malaysia as well as other countries 🤗🤗

    Did you know it’s been voted the 3rd best island to retire in 2021 by international living after Malta and Mallorca?
    Well to eat chicken feet you eat all apart from the bones. The collagen is very good for the body.
    Enjoy Penang.

Nice timing entering Malaysia guys as muslim is fasting, meaning theres a food bazaar going on all over Malaysia in the afternoon where you can taste many kinds of foods and get to experience HARI RAYA less than 2 weeks time, again with lots of good foods!

A brief description of Hari Raya @ Eid for muslim generally, in muslim calendar, we fast for the whole month in the month of Ramadan which started on 3rd April. than come the month of Syawal where we celebrate Eid or we call HARI RAYA on 3rd May. on raya day, we usually gather with families, perform a special pray in masjid/house, than we asked forgiveness from our parents & elderly. kids will get `duit raya' (pocket money) than we will eat a special dishes together like KETUPAT, LEMANG, RENDANG, COOKIES and the the list keep continue.... we'll go visit our relatives/neighbour/friends's house and repeat the whole process again (EATING the most!) ha..ha.. Usually before covid, the Prime minister or other minister will hold an `OPEN HOUSE' where all are welcome to visit including non muslim & foreigners, gather and eat foods for free. The OPEN HOUSE happen not only for HARI RAYA but in CHINESE NEW YEAR & DEEPAVALI too!

    Yes. Food capital in the world is Malaysia. And probably Penang in particular.
    Reasons:
    1. Three main ethnics groups share their food cultures, each with deep roots.
    2. Spices of the South Seas like no others in the world.
    3. Easy people. Reasonable price.

    If you like rain, history, nature, food included in one place, then Taiping is definitely a must go... Locals call it as "raintown", cuz it's raining every evening or at least 3 days of raining in per week, especially in sept-dec... But the Lake Garden is beautiful, there is also Maxwell hill, waterfall, paddy field, museum, former prison, durian, or many else...

    I am glad you are enjoying our beautiful country, which is truly beautiful from Perlis to Sabah. I hope you guys have the opportunity to explore more parts of Malaysia besides Pulau Pinang (Penang). But do take care and follow Covid SOP, Malaysia is slowly re-opening itself. We are currently in the endemic mode, i.e., living with Covid and accepting fact that it won't go away anytime soon, no point brooding over it, life has to go on and be as normal as it can possibly be. Have a good one in Malaysia.

    Hello family. Welcome to Malaysia. It's Ramadan month whereby the Muslims are fasting so some Muslim eateries are closed. I suggest that you visit the Ramadan Bazaar and try the variety of food.
    Check out some nice spots to visit like the Kek Lok Si temple. If you like family activities you can visit the Escape theme park. It has the longest water slide in the world. It has a water park on one side and an outdoor obstacle course on the other..all within the same place. Please also visit. Cenang beach in the late afternoon to see the sunset and watch people playing fire works.

    Chicken feet are full of collagen ! These ones are deep-fried & then stir-fried with black bean sauce. They are yummy. Eat them like you would with bone-in fried chicken. If looking at them is disgusting, just close your eyes & bite through every part of the feet, to savour every bit of this delicacy !
