@Janit: Thanks and agree! I thought of that too!

@Asian Traveler: Hee I also want to see that

@Julia: I’ve been to Penang a few times but hardly go to any tourist sights that require admission fees hehe so nope, didn’t enter the museum. Perhaps next time. Oh ya, Little Nyonya is quite a big hit in Malaysia now, my in-laws were raving about it. lol

Hi eunice, what a great blog you have here! I also visited Chew Jetty when I was in Penang. It’s really fascinating, and definitely one of the most memorable sights in Penang. Did u visit the Pinang Peranakan Museum? It’s a beautiful restored mansion. Many scenes from Ch 8′s Little Nyonya were filmed there!

There are also many clusters of jetty houses in the Phils. I want to see the how they catch the crabs using that cages, it looks pretty interesting.

@peteformation: I read that during the Japanese occupation when food was scarce, the residents used to catch fish secretly at night from the hole in their house.

Nice to stay at the Jetty. I can go fishing all night….when the tide comes in!

@Borneo Falcon: wow then it must be quite a rocky boat ride to the vessel in the sea! Yaya I also saw a temple at the end of the jetty facing the sea.. looks like an old temple.
