#malaysiatrip 📍Yu Village, River Park, Penang Visited this newly opened restaurant in River Park Penang for dinner! Specialising in soup noodle, they offer noodles to pair with various kinds of fish like fried fish, grouper, barramundi, red snapper and different kinds of seafoods for such prawns squids clams. Besides the ample choices of ingredients, they also offer soup bases like bone broth, tomato soup, curry soup and more! The restaurant is huge and spacious, however the spacing between tables could be further apart! Plenty parking spots are available in the area, so there is one less problem to worry about! Food was served hot and pretty quickly! The ingredients used were fresh, love the dry noodles served with meatballs, fishballs and prawn balls. Very flavourful and chewy. Would revisit!

The Penang Bridge is located in the state of Penang, Malaysia, and is a famous landmark of the state. Spanning 13.5 kilometers, the bridge connects Penang Island with the province of Seberang Perai on the mainland. In Seberang Perai, the Penang Bridge links to the North-South Expressway, providing direct access to various towns along the west coast of the Malaysian peninsula, or to Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south. The Penang Bridge officially opened to traffic on September 14, 1985. With a length of 8320 meters, it is said to be the third longest bridge in the world. The Penang Bridge connects Penang Island with the mainland of the Malay Peninsula at Seberang Perai and is the third longest bridge in the world, with an arch that allows the passage of vessels up to 10,000 tons. The Penang Bridge Marathon is an annual event in Penang. In 1986, the race was known as the 'Bridge Run', starting from the Universiti Sains Malaysia, looping around the bridge and returning to the starting point, covering a total distance of 21 kilometers. It was not until the 1990s, when the Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway was included in the route, that the event became a marathon.

Grand Orient Hotel and Laguna Waterpark were designed seamlessly to match the Amazon theming including the appearance and facade of the hotel building which we have cladded with aluminium louvre in wooden colour. The selected flooring with natural earthy tones will definitely ensure the feel of immersion is present in the Grand Orient Hotel when the visitors step into the hotel lobby. Also, the green wall in the hotel lobby is designed to maintain the natural ventilation. These green surroundings will be as lush as possible to ensure a greater sense of relaxation and nature. Besides that, the landscape with more than 20 species of the Amazon native plants has moved toward the style of dense jungle. The utilization of the Amazon theme would be the perfect to drive the guests close to nature..come check it out #awesomepic #couplestrip #malaysia

The Penang Bridge is a stunning sight from the sea, especially at sunrise or sunset. Stretching over 13.5 kilometers, it connects Penang Island to the mainland and is one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks. From the sea, the bridge appears as a long, graceful structure with its towers rising elegantly against the backdrop of the sky. Watching the bridge from a boat or nearby coastline gives you a unique perspective on its impressive architecture and the scenic waters of the Penang Strait. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting Penang, offering both practical use and scenic beauty.#penangbridge

The best hotel to stay in penang.. Ixora hotel 👍👍

#travellerswonderland Great place to get decent pastry. But even better with their western cuisine. Best you can get in town. Though they are slightly reasonable price compare to other place here. But the taste sure will make it up to you. Personally i love their cheese pasta with fried chicken. And the black sugar bubble milk is a must have. Its a really cosy place if you are looking to spend some time chilling. This is the place for you.

Recommend Grand Orient Hotel if you visit Penang Mainland and up for some adventure in their waterpark. Definitely a must have experience as my kids enjoy this stay so much. You can play inside waterpark until 9pm if you checked in on Saturday. Complimentary waterpark ticket for all hotel guests. 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: 5/5 🕰️Business Hours: 5/5 10am-7pm & until 9pm on Saturday 💰Average Price per Person:5/5 Reasonable

Good location, responsive room service, clean and comfortable room, fast check out. It was an excellent stay. Located slightly further away from city centre and therefore offers quiet surroundings for good rest. Room design is contemporary and I like it a lot. If hotel could provide covered car park, that will be great.The impeccable service and hospitality of your staff made our retreat most enjoyable. We were very impressed by the responsiveness of you and your staff from the planing stage till the end of our retreat.#couplestrip
