Forget the famous spots. The best char kway teow is at Siam Road Charcoal Char Kway Teow - a no-name stall open only at night. Look for the longest queue.
foodDownload the Penang Street Art map app. It shows all murals including hidden ones in back alleys. Best explored in early morning before heat kicks in.
activitySkip crowded Batu Ferringhi. Hire a boat from Teluk Bahang to Monkey Beach - pristine sand, jungle backdrop, few tourists.
