a swinging time?

A game that challenges the mind and body, unwinding after a game of golf is a must. And there's no better place to do so than in Penang, a holiday haven with abundance of happenings and delights. For water lovers who decide to sprawl along the beaches, Batu Ferringhi promises beautiful sea, sandy beaches and captivating hills. Once a fishing village, Batu Ferringhi today is abuzz with activities such as jet skiing and para-sailing. At night, traders set up stalls to sell tourist-related items, clothings, leather goods, batik dresses, paintings, watches, and so forth. Not forgetting the vast choices of food within hawker stalls, restaurants, eateries and commercial lots. This night bazaar itself is a novelty that lures visitors to come back for more. Unsurprisingly, Batu Ferringhi has earned the name as Penang's tourism belt. Eat to live? No. In Penang, it's live to eat! Penang cuisine has a unique multicultural flavour with great influences by cooking styles from Indonesia, Thailand, India, the Middle East and China. Nasi kandar is an example of a delightful combination of Malay and Indian cuisines, while the Penang assam laksa is a nyonya fare that combines the subtlety of Chinese food with spicy Malay ingredients.
this inter-cultural fusion that took place over the years has gradually developed a kaleidoscope of festivals, architecture, dialects, lifestyles and religious festivals popular among Penangites, for example The Hungry Ghosts Festival, The Chingay Parade, Nine Emperor Gods Festival, Thaipusam, Wesak and so forth.
For party lovers,
you could samba your way down to the myriad cafes, pubs or bistros
with its very inviting flashy neon lights. Whether it's soothing
chamber music or Latin dance tunes, sip your way through the happy
hours before stepping into those dancing shoes. Even dreadlocks
and Rastafarians continue to be the height of cool in certain parts
of Penang.
