#malaysia Do you know that the Gurney Plaza is one the bigger shopping malls in Penang? If you are planning for a Penang trip, and intend to stay near a shopping mall for convenience, then you should consider staying at hotels such as the G hotel gurney and the G hotel melawai. Both of them are very close to the gurney plaza. The gurney plaza has an extended mall located at the gurney paragon. I love to shop at the gurney plaza as they have all you need. There is a parkson departmental store, many restaurants, and even a dining paradise at the basement level where you can buy your snacks and famous bakeries. You would be spoilt for choice shopping there. I have spent a few hours inside the mall shopping from level to level. There are also many retail outlets that you can visit to shop for your appreals, and accessories. It is a must visit mall in Penang.

Visited Gurney Plaza Penang Malaysia and decided to have dinner at GO Noodle House. The decorations of this restaurant is interesting as they have some of those menu crafted on wooden plates and hanging on the display wall and with the red lanterns hanging across the restaurant. It serve Chinese style noodles with both dry or soup based. Ordered their weekday set on grouper slice dry noodles and it is very good as the noodles are very “Q”.

#newyearnewtrip Diving into the world of one dish one taste, I was immediately captivated by the vibrant atmosphere and the sheer variety of ingredients. This steamboat buffet is a feast for the senses, offering an extensive selection of fresh seafood, meats, vegetables, and unique sauces. What truly sets apart is the focus on quality. The ingredients are undeniably fresh, and the soup bases, from the classic to the more adventurous, are brimming with flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. While the price point might be slightly higher than some other buffets, the quality and variety more than justify the cost. If you're a steamboat enthusiast seeking a truly memorable dining experience in Penang, one dish one taste at Gurney Plaza is an absolute must-try.

Red lanterns swayed gently overhead, casting a warm glow over the bustling crowds. The aroma of traditional delicacies filled the air, tempting me to sample some as I wandered through the vibrant displays of cultural artifacts and ornate decorations. Suddenly, I stumbled upon a captivating performance of a dragon dance, its shimmering pink scales glittering in the sunlight. Mesmerized, I watched as the dragon snaked its way through the plaza, accompanied by rhythmic drumming and the cheers of onlookers. It was a moment of pure magic, embodying the spirit of celebration and unity. That's really cool things to do on CNY 2024 with the pinkish Dragon Year decoration. #trip #2024travel #2024trip #2024travelwish #timetotravel #tripblazers
