Malaysia Attractions
Penang: Kek Lok Si Air Itam
I wish I could stay on for a few more days to explore Kuala Lumpur since I hadn’t been there for years but we had to drive back to Penang island to catch the flight back to Singapore two days later. Back in Penang, we continued to indulge in more authentic local eats on a…
KL City sights & food
After a night at Genting Highlands, we drove back to Kuala Lumpur (KL) city. Though KL is merely a 30min flight from Singapore, I haven’t been there for many years. To me, KL is a bustling city with people everywhere, many shopping malls around and traffic jams! Somehow, as we stepped out of Sungei Wang…
Cave Exploration
We hiked up to Panching (Charas) limestone cave and did not have enough of it yet, and continued to follow the trail up to the highest cave above us. From far, we really couldn’t see what lied ahead of us and we had to be mindful with every step as they are uneven and slippery…
Caves Expedition
Malaysia has many caves scattered around the country and is a haven for cave explorers. We drove a long way to Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, the third largest state of Malaysia, and visited Panching Caves at Sungai Lembing town. Panching Cave (aka Charas Cave according to sources) is a limestone cavern with unique rock…

It was a stormy day with huge waves hitting the wall. Fyi, the devastating Indian Ocean…
The Largest Aquarium in South East Asia – CTY

(Address: 82 Burmah Road, Penang) There are alot of beautiful fishes here but photo-taking is not allowed. Yet,…
Penang Botanic Gardens
Time for a walk at Penang Botanical Gardens to burn off some calories after gobbling all the lip-smacking Penang food. The open hours are from 5am to 9pm. Waking up that early for exercise is definitely not my style. Spotted George at the park. He seemed curious, as usual. Warning: Adult Content. Er hem… Let’s…
Penang food court at Bukit Jambul
This is my 200th post since I started blogging Travelerfolio in April 08! Most of my older posts contain scenic photos and I didn’t expect that my 200th post is all about FOOD!! XD Penang has many good hawker food too, just like Ipoh food paradise. It’s really a torture for me to blog about…
Penang Bridge
After a brief stop-over in Taiping Lake Gardens, we drove up to Penang island (Pulau Pinang). Yes, drove to the island, via Penang Bridge of course! The magnificent Penang Bridge is the longest in Malaysia and one of the longest bridges in the world. The total length of the bridge is 13.5km, spanning 8.4km across…
