For the first time in my life, I took a four-day, three-night Singapore-Malaysia itinerary on Royal Caribbean, one of the world's top three cruise companies. I felt the incredible activity arrangements and food feasts. It is very suitable for parent-child family travel and the first choice for filial piety to the elderly family members👍 🌟Food: The itinerary includes food, drinks and accommodation, but you have the option to upgrade now, including suites with windows and balconies or classic paid restaurants from various countries; the original free three meals buffet, unlimited afternoon tea and light desserts are included. In simple terms, every day is a pig feeding itinerary, oh no~ I mean all kinds of meals are available for you to choose and eat, you will never be hungry 😂 🌟Activities: In order to keep you from getting bored at sea, there are various facilities such as gymnasium, rock climbing, basketball and table tennis, swimming pool, cinema, KTV, casino, paid bumper cars, rapids surfing 🏄♀️ or high-altitude viewing of the North Star, and many free high-level shows such as dazzling song and dance shows, international circus performances, operas and many impromptu guitar or piano performances, morning warm-up exercises, disco party nights at night, and bingo draws to liven up the atmosphere. It turns out that there are so many things to do at sea! 🌟Shore sightseeing: The itinerary I bought allows me to stop in Malaysia for one day to visit Penang. Those who have a longer itinerary can choose to stop in Thailand. I took a three-wheeled scooter in George Town and visited the city’s iconic cultural, religious and government sites. The Wonderfood Museum showcases the city’s rich food culture, and then tried local food. Finally, I felt the special cultural charm and superior spice food in Little India. I think one day is just right so that I can get off the boat and stretch my muscles! 💯Countless activities and facilities on board, plus warm and dedicated service. You can see that the international staff is well-trained, and everyone greets each other like a family. If you are looking for a lazy vacation and want to travel with your children and parents easily, a cruise ship is definitely one of your first choices, and Royal Caribbean is a brand you can't miss❤️ #Spectrum of the Seas #RoyalCaribbean

Wonderfood Museum is a hidden gem that promises a delightful and mouthwatering adventure for anyone who steps through its doors. As I entered the museum, I was immediately transported into a whimsical world of larger-than-life food sculptures and interactive exhibits that left me awestruck. The museum is a gastronomic wonderland, showcasing Penang's rich culinary heritage with painstakingly detailed food replicas. From the iconic Penang laksa to mouthwatering char kway teow, every exhibit was a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. It was as if I had stepped into a world where food came to life in vivid colors and incredible sizes. One of the highlights was the "Food Forest," a room adorned with enormous fruit and vegetable sculptures. I couldn't resist taking photos with the giant durian, dragon fruit, and banana replicas. It was like being in an enchanted garden of edible delights. The museum's interactive exhibits added an extra layer of fun to the experience. I played a game of hopscotch on a giant plate of nasi lemak, and I even tried my hand at balancing a tray of virtual roti canai on a touchscreen display. It was a hands-on journey through Penang's culinary culture, and I couldn't stop smiling throughout. The "Spicy Challenge" was another unforgettable experience. I tested my tolerance for spice by sampling various chili peppers, each with a different level of heat. It was a spicy adventure that left my taste buds tingling, and I gained a newfound respect for Penang's love of all things spicy. The Wonderfood Museum Penang isn't just a feast for the eyes; it's also a feast for the senses. The aroma of the food sculptures wafted through the air, making my stomach rumble with hunger. Thankfully, there's a café on-site where I could savor real Penang delicacies, including the delectable cendol and refreshing ais kacang. In the end, my visit to the Wonderfood Museum Penang was nothing short of amazing. It combined art, culture, and cuisine in a way that left a lasting impression on me. It's a must-visit destination for foodies, art enthusiasts, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant food culture of Penang. My journey through this whimsical wonderland was truly a delightful and unforgettable experience. #myMYmemories

#georgetowntrip#food#museums Visiting the Wonderfood Museum, Penang was a wonderful and extraordinary experience! This interactive museum offers a fun and educational journey through Malaysia’s vibrant food culture, with larger-than-life displays of local dishes that are perfect for photo opportunities. The exhibits are creatively designed, showcasing everything from Penang’s famous Char Kway Teow and Asam Laksa to traditional kuih and desserts. The 3D models and vibrant displays make the food look incredibly realistic, almost good enough to eat! I especially loved the section on Malaysian food heritage, which provided interesting insights into the history and cultural significance of different local dishes. The museum is great for families, solo travelers, and food enthusiasts alike. The interactive elements, such as posing with giant utensils or "holding" oversized food props, add to the fun. The staff were friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. The only minor downside is that the museum is relatively small, so the visit may not take more than an hour unless you really take your time with photos.

I absolutely love the food museum in Georgetown, Malaysia! It was brilliant in both educating tourists about the local cuisine and the amazing melting pot that is Malaysia, and creating artistic displays. Me and my friend had the best time! We also loved the mini displays of the history of food in Malaysia. Some of the (fake) food on display is incredibly impressive and essentially a work of art!

Wonderfood Museum - Penang Since it's hot everywhere, and as a big eater like me, I chose to go to the food museum. 🥗🇲🇾 Inside, there is a simulation of the story of Malaysian food from the past to the present. There are zones for Malaysian national food, zones that provide interesting ideas about food, taste, color, food preservation, or the sugar content of the food that we eat. When we see it, we want to give our legs to the doctor to cut it off. Until the appearance of the most expensive food in the world 🍤🍲 This place is suitable for people who love art and like taking pictures 📸 because there are many photo spots and the staff provides good service. If you come alone, don't worry, the staff will take pictures for you. A word of warning, before taking pictures, look for the sign to see which ones you can catch or not. Otherwise, you will get scolded 😂 💵 The entrance fee is 20 RM. You can buy it at the entrance. Cash only ⏱️ 09.00-18.00 Open every day 📍 Wonder Food Museum https://maps.app.goo.gl/feMMbD3pFzvzxAbu6?g_st=ic #keepgoingxmalaysia #penang #reviewpenang #trip #georgetown #reviewmalaysia #georgetown #travelmalaysia #wonderfoodmuseum #wonderfoodmuseumpenang

We had such a great time exploring the Museum, It's a very interactive Museum where you can try on the a chefs coat, pretend to pick up foods, most of these dishes are giant and they make for amazing photos. We spent so much time here and we loved every moment of it. It also gave us some insight on what to expect for dishes while we stayed in Malaysia. We had just arrived not to long before coming to Georgetown so we were still not 100 percent sure of the dishes and what to expect. This Museum shows us what to expect. I still often think about this Museum and remember how fun and cool this was. I would definitely come check out the Museum during your stay in Georgetown.

This food fantasy hall has been shown through some models of varying sizes. It is both interesting and a good place to learn knowledge.
