The first thing we noticed about Georgetown was the cool fusion of Malaysian, Chinese and Indian cultures. We tasted the most succulent tandoori chicken, glistening BBQ pork belly and sizzling satay skewers hot off the coals. We wondered the streets and saw a mix of colonial buildings, historic mansions, Chinese temples, and bollywood video stores. Little India, Chinatown and the colonial district all within close walking distance. We happened upon an Indian celebration with a music and dancing taking over the streets. Next moment we were watching a traditional Chinese opera set up on the sidewalk.
We left Penang with strong memories of some of the most tastiest, exciting and interesting food we have experienced. (Note: Greg did experience the worst Indian in the history of the world - he was reminded of this fact every time we went to the loo for the next 3 days, which was frequently)
