Itinerary
Day 1. Penang island, Nasi lemak ayam
Penang is recognized as one of the culinary capitals of the world. The food here is cultivated, newspapers regularly write about popular dishes and eateries, and a mixture of Chinese, Indian and Malay traditions creates a unique variety of tastes.
Day 2. Roti breakfast, Kek Lo Si temple, Laksa lunch
Locals always begin their morning with roti - the thinnest flatbread made of wheat dough.
Head to Kek Lok Si - one of the largest Buddhist temples in Asia. We pass by the snow-white pagoda, observe the prayers and rituals in the main hall, walk up to the Guanyin statue which is more than 30 meters tall. This top part of the temple offers wonderful views of Georgetown! We go down past the small houses of local residents, and head to a place famous for its laksa - a traditional soup.
Next, we head to the highest point of the island - Penang Hill, taking the longest cable car in Asia. Time for traditional lok-lok dinner! This is the food that came from Fujian province in China. Visitors boil their own food, strung on sticks - from squid and oysters to dumplings, vegetables, tofu and sausages.
Day 3. Culinary master class, Teluk Bahang National Park
In the morning we will do a culinary master class with a local chef.
Energized, we go to the Teluk Bahang National Park in the north of the island.

We will see small turtles, bald eagles, monkeys and large water lizards, and relax on a wonderful deserted beach.
Day 4. Dim sum breakfast, Khoo Kongsi temple
