Delicious Dinner with Sunset View, Penang 🇲🇾
#winhkflight
📍Frandy Beach Bar, Batu Feringghi, Penang
Having dinner by the beach during sunset is such a vibe! This restaurant by the beach is located in Batu Feringghi, love the sea and beach views, were so lucky to catch beautiful sunsets during our visit! The ambiance was chill and cozy, with natural wind and sea breeze, great place to wind down, have some drinks and food while hang out with friends and families. They have seatings in store and seatings on the beach (will have to make reservations during weekends). The food served was of generous portions, flavourful and delicious. Love the fried chicken wing, well marinated and served hot, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Great pairing of beer too!
I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

The beautiful resort hotel in Batu Ferringhi Beach, Penang, Malaysia is perfect for couples' trips
On the beach of Batu Ferringhi in Penang, the ParkRoyal resort hotel under the Singapore Pan Pacific Hotel Group is so beautiful! We stayed in a Penang suite, the price of two thousand is quite cost-effective! It is very suitable for couples to travel and vacation. In general, apart from the slightly higher price of Shangri-La in Penang, everything else is quite cheap, which is an economical vacation destination!
ParkRoyal, Anantara, Kempinski, Niyagra, Capella, and Sukhothai all belong to GHA Discover, so there are also related member benefits! I, who is always sunny, finally encountered a heavy rain, and the sea view from the terrace of the suite is great! Looking forward to the rain clearing up soon~ I didn't expect it to clear up in the evening, and the next day was a sunny day!
The lazy afternoon~ The holiday time in Penang is too comfortable! After vacationing in Thailand for three months, I originally thought that I would be tired of seeing the sea when I came to the seaside in Malaysia again! The result is very magical, even though there are not a few guests in the hotel, I still feel very comfortable, quiet and comfortable, and it is a completely different vacation atmosphere from Thailand~ Come and have a romantic seaside dinner in the evening, the sunset and the evening glow are so beautiful that it is intoxicating!

"Sunrise Feasts to Sunset Retreats: The PARKROYAL Voyage"
#malaysia
At PARKROYAL Resort Penang, the day started with an abundant buffet breakfast, a delightful array of flavors setting the perfect tone. Post breakfast, the allure of the beach view seats at the bar beckoned, where I sipped a refreshing drink and embraced the coastal breeze. Later, the inviting pool provided a tranquil oasis, the comfy sunbeds adding to the relaxation. As the sun dipped, a sunset walk along the beach proved to be a picturesque spectacle. The thrill peaked with horse riding and engaging water sports, filling the day with excitement and adventure. Finally, the plush bed ensured a restful night, completing a truly memorable experience.

Will you marry Me? - Rasa Sayang Resort💡
#hotelreview
Yeahhhh!!! Im taken❤️❤️
Thanks for arranging all the decor in the room and the garden, it’s just so beautiful and touched 🥰
For those who are planning to propose and have no idea where to go, Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa would be a good place!!! Highly recommend to go for the room type in the Rasa Wing (resort has garden wing and rasa wing) especially the Rasa Deluxe room (the room type we booked) as it will come together with a spacious and instagrammable private garden where you can do the decoration for the special occasion!!!
Of course, as a Rasa Wing guest, they will be special benefits offered such as afternoon tea and swimming pool access for Rasa guests only.

Teddyville Tales!
Teddyville Museum is an enchanting world of fluffy wonders. From the moment I stepped through the museum's welcoming doors, I was transported to a realm where teddy bears came to life in captivating exhibits and heartwarming displays.
As I ventured deeper into the museum, I discovered a mesmerizing array of teddy bears from different eras and cultures. The "Bear Through Time" exhibit traced the history of these beloved stuffed companions, showcasing how they've evolved over the years. From vintage bears with button eyes to modern, high-tech bears with interactive features, I marveled at the evolution of these cuddly creatures.
One of the highlights was the "Teddy Bear's Travels" exhibit, where I embarked on a journey around the world through the eyes of teddy bears. Each bear in this section was dressed in traditional attire from various countries, giving me a glimpse into diverse cultures. It was a charming reminder of how teddy bears can bridge gaps and bring people together.
The museum also celebrated the artistry of teddy bear craftsmanship in the "Bear Artistry" section. Here, I encountered intricately designed and handcrafted bears that left me in awe of the talent and dedication of teddy bear artists. Their attention to detail and creativity were truly remarkable.
A personal favorite was the "Bear Hospital," where worn-out teddy bears could receive tender loving care. It was heartwarming to see the dedication of the museum staff in restoring these cherished companions to their former glory.
I wrapped up my visit at the "Teddy Bear Emporium," where I couldn't resist picking up a new furry friend to take home as a keepsake of this unforgettable experience.
Teddyville Museum is a magical place where nostalgia, art, and the universal love for teddy bears converge. It's not just a museum; it's a journey through time, culture, and craftsmanship, all centered around these timeless, cuddly companions. My visit was nothing short of awesome, and I left with a heart full of warmth and a smile on my face, knowing that teddy bears will continue to bring joy to generations to come.

Awesome Hotel in Penang
We really enjoyed our stay there. Nice swimming pool with spacious garden and great view to have breakfast. Excellent location since its near to the night Market, restaurants like McDonald's, Sub-way and many local food shops. Staff are welcoming and helpful. They sent me special card & cake for my husband's birthday for free.
Definitely would like to come again & recomment it for those who think of staying at Penang

🎸 Rocker Vibes @ Hard Rock Penang
#mymymemories
When you have a long weekend, what do you do? A staycation, of course! We stayed over at Hard Rock Hotel Penang, and here's what we think of the hotel!
It is located at the end of Batu Ferringhi, and is surrounded by lots of food and market as well.
We got the Poolview Deluxe room and the view of the poolside was stunning - both in the afrlternoon and at night! The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very clean and well-sanitized.
We enjoyed the pool a lot, though I was initially denied as my swimwear "did not look like a swimwear" 🫠 The decor of the hotel was of course stunning, especially the crystal chandeliers with the logo of Hard Rock.
Overall, we'd stay again - but will definitely go for an upgraded room, especially for a personal pool!

Staycation with Great View
#hotelstaycation in Penang for a short breakaway on weekend. Location is quite far from airport but not very far from central area, there is also bus stop near this hotel. View from my room is super nice. I got it $180+ for 4D3N. Great ambience but need to note that they don't provide drinking water for free.
Walking distance to nearest beach, just opposite the hotel. It's never a regret to stay here at DoubleTree Hilton Penang! Getaway to cheap and affordable resort-like stay.

Doubletree Resort Penang
We stayed five nights at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang. The hotel has restaurants, pools, and offers discounts to museums. The first night we took the overpass across the street and ended up right on the beach. There’s a small restaurant where we ate dinner and watched the sunset. There’s a bus stop right across the street as well with buses that can take you to explore George Town and other parts of Penang Island.
