Banglow at Penang Hill

Penang Hill is one of the popular tourist spot in Penang Island. My friend's father own a bangalow at Penang Hill. We went there for 1 day camp during weekend. It took us about 1/2 hour to hike up to the bangalow which is located half way to top of the Penang hill.

The bangalow is surrounding by the vegetables farms and orchards. During durian season, we can enjoy eating durians while drinking the coconut drink.

The greedy young man are plugging the coconutsss....

Big yam leaves found behind of the banglow...

Airy wooden house...

Bird Nest house (green in color) just next to the bangalow...

There is a scene viewing point for us to chit chating and enjoy the airy environment and Air Itam, Georgetown scenery...

There are several beautiful and nice bangalows at the top of Penang hill. They are available for rent. You may go there for 1 night bangalow stay and party with your gang of friends. I am sure you will like it very much.

Claremont Bangalow which was built in 1921-1923, more than 100 years building is one of the bangalow up there for you to rent. Here are some picss of Claremont Bangalow posted by Wong Pow Long: http://www.worldisround.com/articles/56236/index.html

Batu Maung Seafood Restaurant

Batu Maung Seafood is just next to the Sam Poh Footprint Temple at Batu Maung. When you reach Batu Maung junction traffic light from the Coastal highway, take the left turning. About 200m after left turn, you will see the temple and the restaurant.

Sam Poh Footprint Temple is a tourist spot in Penang Island. It is worth for you to drop by if you go to the seafood restaurant. You can either choose open air (beside the beach) or in door (air conditioned) for dining. Most of the dishes are delicious with reasonable price. The boss will give you some fruits as dessert FOC!! If you love seafood, it will be a good place for you to try.
