Welcome to Penang ! After a meet and greet with our tour guide at the cruise port, we will depart on the discovery of Georgetown.
Penang Island, famed throughout Asia for its heady mix of Eastern cultures, is Malaysia's prime melting pot. Roadside vendors serve some of the world's best street food; its national parks offer white-sand beaches and wildlife; and UNESCO-listed George Town is full of colorful heritage houses. Visit the famous Chew Jetty, where families still live in the wooden houses on stilts and sell their wares in the many stalls on this long jetty. Discover the markets of Georgetown, how food is cooked and sold in the bustling markets.
The tour will bring you to visit New World Park Food Court. This is one huge food court that offers a huge array of Penang delicacies under one roof. The food court has a variety of foods- from local hawker fare to "western" to teppanyanki - but mostly local! You will have free time to taste some of the delicious local specialties. Choices may include Bak Kut The (herbed pork soup), curry noodles, and Chinese dumplings.
While at the center you can shop for spices and special sauces. After a delicious meal and some shopping, the tour continues to discover more about the spices the locals use to enrich the flavors of their dishes in the Lim Wah Thai Food market before ending your day with more shopping at the Little India market. At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to the port in plenty of time for your ship's departure.
Please note: meals are to be paid for locally, food prices range from MYR5 to MYR15 per dish (as a guideline only)
