Black Kettle
105 Beach StIt is right opposite our little townhouse!
All you need is 5 minutes of walk from our townhouse to this amazing place! You'll love the ambience. Live bands at night, at the weekends! But, watch out! It can get a little crowded on the weekends. It is just a few minutes walk away from our townhouse, so, again, you save money walking on foot. It is located in Beach Street (cross the intersection, that's all). Google this place! What i love about this place is, you won't need to any entrance fee. Just get some desserts or drinks, will do.

2-3 minutes drive from our place! Cycling? 10 minutes! Or Walking? 20-25 mins away. Try out their local Penang dishes here! The price? Not too expensive, but, a little expensive compared to street foods. I love the ambience in the restaurant nonetheless. Take a bicycle ride to this place, or get on a trishaw perhaps!

1/2 hour car ride from our place! A romantic getaway for couples! Located in Batu Feringghi and overlooking the beach on a wooden platform, in the open air. Cooling, refreshing. Great place to spend your evening with your loved ones. The cost? Well, let's say a glass of juice for RM 12-15? But it is no typical juice. Some exotic blend of juice. I love them anyway! Food price range from RM 15 - RM 75++.

Find the beach, just perfect if you plan to have your day spent under the sun on the beach. Go deeper into Batu Feringghi and you will come across some discreet areas. Be careful, not too discreet :D

Arts & Culture
Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion
14 Lebuh LeithLearn about the culture of the Peranakans in Malaysia!
The Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today.

A popular attraction for tourists interested in local culture! The famous Khoo Kongsi is the GRANDEST clan temple in the country. It is also one of the city's MAJOR historic attractions. The clan temple has retained its authentic historic setting, which includes an association building, a traditional theatre and the late 19th century rowhouses for clan members, all clustered around a granite-paved square. Need us say more?

15-20 minutes away from our place! Great for those Batik lovers! The Batik Painting Museum is the only one of its kind in the world, and it is in Penang! It aims to tell the historical story of how this art form that began in the 1950s has evolved into the rich and diversified styles it is today.
From our place in Beach Street, you may rent a bike, which will take you about 20 minutes (or less, well if you cycle fast!) to the museum! Lucky you for choosing to stay with us. Everything is so close-by!
That's only the beginning of what promises to be an artistic adventure not to be missed!
