After given complimentary flights to Malaysia by Malaysian Airlines. I had to decide where I wanted to visit this time because I have travel to Malaysia several times but never to Penang a 30 minute flight from Kuala Lumpur. After some research I chose to stay at Angsana Teluk Bahang Resort a 30 minute drive from Georgetown. A decision I was very glad I made. A seaview room with balcony and excellent facilities. I chose only to dine at Jendala which provided extensive breakfast and dinner options. There is nothing more relaxing to dine outdoors with a glass of wine watching the sunset.

Because the temperature during the day was 30 degrees it was to hot to spend time at the beach or the beachside bar. All the guests during my stay relaxed around the beautiful pool which had adequate day-beds and umbrellas.

As a Travel Broker my day started by checking my emails, having breakfast returning to the room to answer emails and then relaxing by the pool reading and cooling off in the pool. I did take the opportunity to take the shuttle into Georgetown to visit the Pinang Pernakan Masion and the Blue House (tour reservation is required).

I would recommend a stay at Angsana Teluk Bahang Resort, be it a holiday or a stopover on the way to Europe or Asian destinations. Excellent facilities and friendly staff that will ensure you enjoy your stay, at a price that would more competitive than staying in a resort on a Pacific Island.

Georgetown

Colourful Capital of Penang

George Town is the colorful, multicultural capital of the Malaysian island of Penang. Once an important Straits of Malacca trading hub, the city is known for its British colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses and mosques. Beyond the old town, George Town is a modern city with skyscrapers and shopping malls. Verdant Penang Hill, with hiking and a funicular railway, overlooks it all.gned by head chef, Øistein Nilsen.

Ensure you visit the Pinang Peranekan Masion and the Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue House.

Penang Street Art

Strolling through Georgetown’s streets became just a little more exciting in 2012 when Penang’s municipal council hired London-trained Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic, to breathe new life into some of the atmospheric Chinese shop-houses around the inner city.Zacharevic’s artwork is spread out across Penang’s city centre, along roads like Muntri Street, Weld Quay, Lebuh Leith, Armenian Street, Ah Quee Street, and more.

Clan Jetties in Penang

The Clan Jetties, part of the Penang Heritage Trail, once comprised seven jetties before a fire claimed one. Billed as one of the last bastions of old Chinese settlements on the island, this waterfront society is home to houses on stilts of various Chinese clans.

Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue House

The most photographed building in George Town, this magnificent 38-room, 220-window mansion was built in the 1880s and rescued from ruin in the 1990s. Today a lavish, antique-filled hotel, its distinctive blue-hued exterior is the result of an indigo-based limewash. Slightly theatrical hour-long guided tours (included in the admission fee) explain the building’s feng shui and unique features, and relate stories about Cheong Fatt Tze, the rags-to-riches Hakka merchant-trader who commissioned the mansion for his seventh (and favourite) wife.

Cheong Fatt Tze left China as a penniless teenager and eventually established a vast financial empire throughout East Asia, earning himself the dual sobriquets ‘Rockefeller of the East’ and the ‘Last Mandarin’. Yet despite this, his lavish home was a faded shell within a few years of his death in 1916, rented out at penny rates to extended Chinese families.

A six-year restoration returned the mansion to its original glory, an eclectic fusion of Eastern and Western architectural styles, blending Chinese porcelain tile-work with art nouveau stained glass and British encaustic floor tiles. It’s the finest surviving example of the eclectic architectural style preferred by wealthy Straits Chinese. Appropriately, the mansion had a cameo in the 2018 blockbuster Crazy Rich Asians.

To enjoy the regal mansion after the crowds leave, consider staying overnight, in one of the 18 rooms, but be aware thadue to demand you have to book at least twelve months ahead. On many occasions the House is leased to film companies.

Pinang Peranakan Mansion

The Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese.

Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today.

At the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, the typical home of a rich Baba of a century ago is recreated to offer a glimpse of their opulent lifestyle and of their many customs and traditions. With over 1,000 pieces of antiques and collectibles of the era on display, this Baba-Nyonya museum is also housed in one of Penangï heritage mansion of eclectic design and architecture.

Built at the end of the 19th century by one of local history famous personalities, the Hai Kee Chanï or Sea Remembrance Store had once served as the residence and office of Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee. Though not a Baba himself, his Chinese courtyard house was much like a typical large Baba home of eclectic style, incorporating Chinese carved-wood panels and English floor tiles and Scottish ironworks. Having survived the many decades of neglect and decay, the mansion has now been restored to its former glory of a stately .
