A walkable city where heritage and hip blend effortlessly, where the scent of local food dances through the air, and every street has a story to tell. 7:30 AM – Dim Sum at Lebuh Kimberley The day kicked off with breakfast at Lebuh Kimberley, where locals queue for old-school dim sum. Siew mai, har gao, and fluffy char siew bao arrived steaming hot — washed down with strong local kopi. The lively atmosphere was the perfect introduction to the morning buzz of George Town. 9:00 AM – Morning Stroll Around Komtar & Local Market Vibes The old heart of George Town’s modern development. Just nearby, I stumbled into a traditional morning market, where aunties bargained for fresh vegetables, hawkers shouted out breakfast specials, and the scent of fried noodles filled the air. The scene was lively and authentic — a beautiful snapshot of everyday Penang life. 10:30 AM – Mural Hunt in Armenian Street Next, I took a short walk toward Armenian Street to dive into the city’s famous street art. The highlight was definitely the “Children on a Bicycle” mural. 12:00 PM – Lunch & Cake at China House I stopped for lunch at the ever-iconic China House, known for its heritage layout and long list of decadent cakes. After a light meal, I treated myself to a slice of their famous tiramisu — easily one of the best I’ve had. 2:00 PM – Seaside Views at the Esplanade With a full stomach, I headed to the Esplanade (Padang Kota Lama) for a breezy stroll by the sea. Colonial buildings like City Hall and the Clock Tower made a stunning backdrop, while the sea breeze offered a refreshing break from the midday sun. 3:30 PM – Coffee & Calm at Norm Micro Roastery When the heat picked up, I ducked into Norm Micro Roastery — an aesthetic café hidden behind a minimalist entrance. With its high ceilings, soft lighting, and indoor greenery, it felt like a retreat from the city. I ordered a hand-brewed coffee and sat back for a well-earned break. 4:30 PM – Wandering Around Beach Street After coffee, I explored Beach Street, lined with grand colonial buildings, restored shophouses, and cool boutiques. The late afternoon light lit up the architecture beautifully. 5:30 PM – Sunset Stop at Chew Jetty (姓周桥) I ended my route here where time slows down on wooden boardwalks above the sea. Locals relaxed outside their homes, cats stretched in the fading sun, and the horizon glowed with that unmistakable Penang sunset. George Town, even in just a day, leaves an impression that lingers. Whether it’s the clatter of a dim sum tray, the brushstrokes of a mural, or the stillness of a seaside jetty — it all stays with you. I came for the food and history, but I left with much more.

📍 Location: Found at No. 1, Jalan Sungai Ujong, George Town, Penang, Yong Pin is a long-time local favorite, just minutes from Komtar in the heart of George Town. 🌿 Environment: A classic Penang morning scene – marble tables, wooden chairs, steaming baskets rolling past, and the lively chatter of locals. Simple, bustling, and full of heritage charm. 🥢 Food: From fluffy char siu bao and juicy siu mai, to silky chee cheong fun and comforting century egg porridge, every bite feels nostalgic. Don’t miss their signature lor mai kai (glutinous rice with chicken) – fragrant, savory, and perfectly satisfying. Best enjoyed with hot Chinese tea. ✨ Why Visit: Yong Pin is more than a restaurant – it’s a taste of Penang’s living food culture, where tradition is served fresh every morning. #PenangFood #GeorgeTownEats #DimSumLovers #PenangBreakfast #HeritageFood #Tripcom #penangtrip #penangfoodie #penang #malaysia

The selection of dim sum was impressive — from siu mai to har gao, steamed buns to fried goodies, everything was fresh, hot, and served with a smile.
