Penang Truly Asia

This statement alone reminded me of the question I was asked by Sham (Hisham Hamzah), then a DJ with MixFM during the grand finals of Miss Malaysia World back in 2007.
He asked me Among all the tourist destinations in Malaysia, which would you recommend most to tourists and why?.
The answer was so simple. Of course I would say Penang! And no, its not only because its where Im from, but more so because of a major keyword: variety.
Penang can have everything and anything to make everyone and anyone happy.
I forgot the exact answer which I gave on stage, but this is the gist of it: If you want a city, youll get a city. If you want the beach, youll get a beach. If you want to explore the jungles and forests, theres plenty to choose from. If you want the hustle and bustle or quiet time being one with nature, you have it all in this idlyllic little Pearl of the Orient.
Not forgetting the fact that its the food capital of Malaysia, with choices that range from hawker centres to fine dining.
Heck, even my Convent Green Lane Secondary School canteen has better food than most shops by my office! Penangites are very protective and defensive about their cuisine (more about that another day!).
