Spend your day exploring the vibrant George Town; the centre of Penang’s culinary and artistic expression. Feast your senses on tantalizing street food before heading to Malaysia’s first food museum. The Wonderfood Museum beckons food lovers to relish in its extravagant display of traditional Malaysian cuisine. The oversized food recreations of Malaysian, Indian, and Chinese delicacies are replicated using Japanese techniques and are guaranteed to blow your mind away. You can have fun posing alongside these giant food props as they offer plenty of amazing photo opportunities. Think of a quirky pose as you get ready to devour a bowl of laksa. Or gaze longingly at the spread of Nyonya Kuih for a picture-perfect shot. You are sure to work up an appetite just by watching the incredible display of cendol (sweet dish), char kway teow, ais kacang, and many others. And we don’t blame you!

Another highlight of George Town is its exemplary street art that has transformed the town’s drab-looking walls into a worthy canvas. The town has depicted its cultural heritage through a series of amusing, humorous, and cheeky wrought iron caricatures that are unmissable. In total, 52 pieces are installed across the streets and offer a refreshing way to learn about this place. If you ask us, searching for all these sculptures is an exciting pastime on its own. Additionally, the town’s urban landscape comes alive with a collection of eye-catching murals by artist Ernest Zacharevic. These creative works of art have wowed locals and tourists alike and are among the most popular tourist attractions here. Murals like Boy on a Bike, The Tree lady, An Indian Boatman, Teach You Hokkien, and numerous cat-themed paintings are bound to stop you in your tracks in amazement. You should also take time to check out Children on a Bicycle, a famous mural that has long been a hit among tourists.
