Penang is red hot! I have read about Penang quite a bit in magazines and newspapers lately. I am an American and would love to visit Penang (and Malaysia) someday. Thanks for putting together a trusted Penang private tour and culinary tour service. I hope to try out the food you introduced on your blog.
I've never been a big fan of those packaged tours, but I think the best way to see a place is with a local. This sounds fantastic! I've definitely been wanting to see more of SE Asia and Penang is high on the list.
Have to stopped by one day when I travel to Indonesia.
Anonymous, Marc, Indonesia-Eats,
Thanks for your interest in Penang and the private tour/culinary tour service. Penang is a gem. Born and raised in Penang, I still find it amazing and keep learning more about it. Penang has it all, really, and it's waiting for your discovery. :)
Hi Rasa Malaysia,
I emailed you a week ago asking if you were available for a culinary tour on 26th or 27th December. But I never received a reply. I know this message board is just for comments, but if you see this message can you get in contact on email@example.com
this is a fantastic biz. wish you and your family sarng yee heng loong :D
You are right, Penang rocks the most!! Thanks for promoting our hometown.
Happy Chinese New Year!
I just came back from a trip to SEAsia and stopped in Georgetown for a few days. Its a great place to visit and I highly recommend it. My hotel was a stone's throw from both the new "New World" food court as well as the one next to the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion. New World was great for an afternoon meal but the one by the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion was definitely the place to go at night for "finger foods".
There was also a fantastic kedai kopi place on Jalan Burma (?) with all kinds of roti and curries.
My only complaint is that accommodations there can be expensive (from a Southeast Asian standpoint). Unless you are staying at one of the backpacker hovels, a reasonably nice place is about twice as expensive as a hotel with a similar level of quality in Thailand.
Having said that, I still really enjoy Penang. I hadn't been there in over 12 years and it was great to see that the historic part of town has maintained its character. Its a great area to roam around, take photos, and enjoy the scenery and people.
Well with all the talk of recession here in the UK it might be a while before I manage to travel any further than to work and back!
Still, the forthcoming baby should keep me occupied.
As a fellow Penangite, I was happy to know that your family had came up with this wonderful idea. It would be useful for friends of mine who will be visiting Penang when I am still abroad.
Going through the list of places and activities to be done in the itinerary, made me miss Penang a lot. I've not been home for some time now.
All the best with the tours! :)
As if I needed another reason to to finally visit Malaysia! This is fantastic Bee! When I finally do make it there I'll definitely be letting you know…this is the type of tour I would love to go to, as opposed to the usual generic ones…especially knowing how confident I am in your ability to find the best places to eat! :)
Can I join? I stay in Penang but probably never went around like a tourist that much! :-)
This is good tour stuffs!
Hi Babe_KL – thanks for the wishes. :)
My Taste Heaven – yes, Penang absolutely rocks and it's one of the must-visit places of 2009, according to the New York Times!
Mr. T – Thanks for visiting Penang. In regards to accomodations, yes, it's more expensive compared to Thailand because land is scarce in Penang island as you know. However, with so many hidden treasures, great good, and cultural gems, it's all worth it. :)
Hi Scott – Going to Penang is very affordable with British pound. Do check out travel deals from Malaysia airlines and you never know, you and your family might be on your way to Penang soon.
Ally – Thank you. If you have friends coming to Penang, we will be more than happy to take good care of your friends on your behalf.
ChichaJo – you just have to come. The next time I am home, I will let you know so you can come. Or I can personally organize this private and culinary tour myself and take you guys around. It's very possible.
MyF – sure, you are more than happy to join as our tour guide. I think it will be great. :)
My husband and I just got back from a fabulous trip to Penang! Thanks to Bee who tailored an itinerary based on what we wanted to see, do and eat! It was no less than Bee's impeccably mannered and knowledgeable brother, CK who took us around and found the best places for us to sample glorious Penang food! We would have had CK for the whole trip if we could have afforded it :) On the whole, their personalized service came out to be more both time and cost effective vs. doing all the things we wanted to do on our own. We covered a lot of ground but were also free to roam as and when we wanted.
We chose Penang as a holiday destination because of its food, culture and heritage, nature trails, the beach and got more than we expected–the people are very warm and welcoming–we met several locals (including a Baba!) and we hope to be able to nurture these newfound friendships. To top it off, we came at the start of the Chinese New Year and so we were able to witness some of the events and merriment that took place. Penang really deserves its spot on the list of the NYT places to go in 2009! If you are planning a trip to the tropics, make it Penang, then place yourselves in the capable hands of Bee and CK—you won't regret it! :)
We recently toured Penang with this private tour and culinary tour service and were very happy with the tour. The two-day tours were excellent, fun and very-very interesting!
And thank you very much for your culinary tour! We got to sample the famous Penang food and eventually we came to appreciate Malaysian food a lot! We also really liked the coffee shop near our hotel the guides had recommendeded (with fresh seafood every evening)! Very fresh, very tasty and cheap! We wouldn't have found such a fine local restaurant ourselves.
Thank you very much! We missed the spicy, fresh and very tasty dishes that we had tried in Penang!
All in all though, we strongly recommend this private tour if you want to experience Penang with a friendly local guide and get the authentic local experiences.
We recently joined this private tour when my cruise ship docked in Penang and absolutely loved it and strongly recommend it. The local guide CK is very friendly and took us to all the local places. It's great to experience the real Penang rather than the "packaged tour" Penang for foreign tourists. We also got to sample the freshest coconut water in this small alley where a local Indian-Malaysian runs his coconut trading business. We'd never seen so many fresh coconuts. After that, we tried out some delicious local "hawker food" at this old restaurant/shop where we were the only two white people around!
We enjoyed the Penang tour so much and only wished that our cruise ship didn't have to leave so soon. We will be back for sure.
Yeay!!.. Great way to promote Penang.. I miss Penang too…!! Miss it so much even though, I've just been in the US for a little over a year.. Being a Penangnite myself, Rasa Malaysia's tour package sounds just as interesting..! :) I wish more people will come to appreciate all that Penang has to offer and love it more..! Good Luck Rasa Malaysia.. You're really great! Thank you so much for all the wonderful Penang recipes.. :)
The weather wasn't always on our side.
Sometimes, it was sweltering hot. Then, it would rain cats and dogs. But, I have to say having Jenny, Bee's sister-in-law showing us around her Penang was really a blessing. She was kind, generous and always patient. So while, our planned tour did not always go…as planned, have Jenny to guide us around more than made up for it.
Oh about the food, it is everything they say it is. Any serious foodie should find his or her way to Penang as soon as possible. I suggest asking Bee to take you off the tourist beaten track and eat where the locals go. I swear the food was not only delectable, it was impossibly cheap – by any standard. I know I missed a lot. So, I'm hoping I'll find a reason to return — or failing at that, I'll just make up one…
Thank you, Bee.
I would like to thank you and CK (the guide) for making my visit to Penang so memorable. You created the perfect itinerary for me, and CK was an outstanding guide. As a longtime resident of Penang, he has an extraordinary knowledge of the local food culture. He took me to places that I never would have found on my own, and he introduced me to a wide variety of Chinese, Malay, and Indian dishes that I had never experienced before. I cannot wait to return to Penang and rediscover it all again.
Thanks for Mr. C.K. Low arranged me a one day private tour to see the must-go places, because I had a short stay only in Penang, He is professional and very familiar with his home town history. He is not only a tour guide because he even help me to get an idea to find a business supplier. Rasa Malaysia, keep going!!!
Do you have any recommend that I wish to rent a car with a driver for 1-2 days.
I am just writing to convey our thanks to CK for his fantastic tour of Penang. It was a very memorable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see the real Penang, slightly off the beaten track. The fact you were able to accommodate us at such short notice was impressive, and CK was fabulous as a guide, his local knowledge of areas of beauty, local foods and places to eat as well as the history of Penang made it a very personal experience and his time and enthusiasm were well appreciated. The food was amazing especially the Dimsum and the Laksa, and it is something that will remain with us for a very long time. I am so very glad we were able to do this during our much too short a visit and I am looking forward to visiting Penang again in the not too distant future.
I would like to take this for thanks to CK for our group of private tour as driver and tour guild(9 persons). He is good for introduce of Penang & local food to us . Let us know of culture of Penang & foods. Good idea to take a private tour at Penang with CK.
Thank you and CK for the most marvellous 3 days in Penang. The memory of them is still very fresh in our minds and the taste too!
– David White, New Zealand
hello there!
im travelling solo to penang in september.

Hi, just would like to feedback about my family trip to Penang few weeks back. It was very memorable and i like the food so much !
Thank you RasaMalaysia and my tour guide – Jenny!
TY, KL/Singapore
have just returned from 3wk holiday around malaysia,and one of the highlights has been our 2 day tour in Penang,thanks mainly to Bee and CK.Bee was great to deal with via e-mail,always replying promptly and making suggestions to improve our stay.Our guide,Ck was fantastic-we would have only seen a fraction without him.He was extremely helpful and full of suggestions that made our stay special.We particularly enjoyed-the walk through Penang National Park to see monkeys and baby turtles;the visit to the traditional soy sauce factory;lunch at Shanghai Ding dim sum restaurant (must try the Pokey Mouse!!!);sampling hawker food (especially Laksa);watching the sunset at Batu Ferrenghi while our teenagers para-glided over the sea and of course all the wonderful temples.
We felt the tour was very good value for money and it was lovely to escape the heat and humidity and be transported around in a comfortable air conditioned car!.Be warned-the suggested plans are very intensive and the temperature is very high but you get to see such a lot-a five star experience
Thank you for arranging our Penang tour with CK. He is a great guide and took us to few local food stalls that we really enjoyed ourselves. I think you have done a great job together with CK and will definitely recommend your services to friends and clients who plan to visit Penang!
The tours offered sound great. They cover pretty much what I've seen of Penang last year, The added knowledge of local food is a great plus though, and i would have gladly completed my own visit by a day of food tour had I known about it!…
hello there!
it took me along while to post here.
anyway, i took a 3 day trip to penang last september 2009. booked 2 day tours with rasa malaysia (thanks bee for answering all my questions and giving me prompt reply)
penang is very interesting. the place is quite compact for anything and everything you want to experience. I like it better than Kuala lumpur…hehe..
i would like to thank CK for the wonderful tour, i learned a lot of interesting info.
the highlights for me are the hawker food he made me try, the soy sauce factory, the dim sum, the chinese doughnuts, CK feeding the monkey while i took the pictures, the temples and more temples we went…
there are still a lot of nook and crannies of penang i would love to go to if i have the chance to come back.
i would definitely come back. hope i can bring my family with me next year….
Dear Bee
I 've made a link about your Penang Tour to my post !.
Thanks .
I think this is the best way to visit Penang
Hi CK and Bee,
We really thank to CK who accompanied us around Penang during our holiday end of September. It's a private tour with my parents and family – 6 persons. The tour is really highly recommended to friends and families who want a trip to Penang. Penang is a beautiful city and has a lot of interesting places. The food is really tasteful ; 'Shanghai Ding' and Penang Peranakan Food are outstanding and have affordable price. Thanks also to Bee who is really helpful and quick replying my questions. Thanks again and hope to see you again soon.
Hi Bee Yinn,
It's so interesting n very exciting to see /read all the comments reg yr pg private tour together with CK. Wow! your rasa malaysia blog is so well connected and linked to CK's private pg tour to CKean's dim sum, Superb!!!!! I'll explain in much clearer details to Ah Kor so that she's so much more happier and 辛福 that all your siblings are so united and care among one another. I am very touched by your interview with Kwong Wah. Hopefully u are able to email me with this new hotmail id. My very best wishes to you.
interesting tour…might consider taking this tour after discussing with my mom…after flying so much around the globe, the only place i truely want to see is Malaysia, still…looking forward to go to penang already =p
Dear Bee & CK,
We had a wonderful time going around Penang last sunday 01/11/2009. Now I can proudly say that I have tasted Penang food in Penang. All the stops we had for food were timely and coordinated. The asam laksa at Air Hitam was so good, we ordered extra bowls of them.
Thanks for a delicious trip.
RJ Stidi, KK, Sabah
Hi CK,
Just a note to thank you for the wonderful time we had in Penang especially the 1 day journey ( 1st Nov 2009 ) we had going thru all the many interesting places you have arranged in the tour package. Most of all, we had a fantastic time trying out all the local food centres with the best hawker food/delicacies that is offered in Penang.. I believe our intentions for visiting Penang is complete…. We certainly had a memorable time with your fine services…
Thank You,. From Alfred, Richard and families..
I have spent a 3 days tour with CK in early Nov 09 and I was impressed with his knowledge of where the authentic good Penang food are, which is usually located "off the beaten tracks". I still miss the Balik Pulau Assam Lemak Laksa, which my family ordered extra bowls, the push cart chendul where 'Phua Chu Kang' also patronaged, the Shanghai Ding unique dim sum and the 'Tau Sa Bia' (a type of chinese pastry) from the one and only shop 'Him Heang' in Penang. CK also went the extra mile to bring us for some shopping spree in town and patiently waited for us beyond the planned schedule so that we can returned to our hotel in Batu Ferringhi conveniently. This is definitely a added convenience when I was bringing my two aged parents around.
Overall, I have a comprehensive experiences of Penang, which is reflected in my recently completed photo albums, which can be broadly categorised into 4 themes:
1. Heritage Penang
2. Religious Penang
3. Nature Penang
4. Food Haven Penang
Thank you to Rasa Malaysia, esp CK for making these experiences possible.

We'll we're back, albeit a bit jet lagged. I thought I would drop you a quick note to thank you, and CK, for the two wonderful days in Penang. I don't think think things could have worked out better! You brother is a wonderful guide and a real gentleman. I don't think he let an opportunity pass to make us feel comfortable. Nothing was too much! I hope he felt the same way about us. I was looking around your website because I wanted to post a few positive review regarding our trip, but couldn't find the section. (I'm sure I saw it before…) Again, thanks very much for all your work. Ria and I plan to stay in touch with you, so we can enlist your help for our next trip to South East Asia. If any of our friends are travelling to the region you may rest assured we will give them your email address.

Hi, just wanted to leave a few positive comments about our Penang Tour with Rasa Malaysia. cK is great! He's very polite and patient. I can see my parents and in-laws enjoyed themselves very much throughout the trip. It is definitely the highlight of our trip. Thanks very much :)
Our family of four have been on a non-stop eating fest since arriving in Penang 4 days ago. Having heard and read so much about Penang's gastronomic heritage we decided on this trip to Malaysia that we would make a trip specially to Penang to enjoy its local cuisine. And its not food only, Penang offers great cultural heritage, old world Anglo Chinese architecture and genuinely friendly English speaking locals.
One such local was our tour guide CK. Our gastro-tour took place two days ago. And what a day it turned out to be!
Our day began with a mid morning trip to Pulau Tikus wet market. There we walked through corridors where stall holders were selling all manner of local market produce – fruits, vegetables, meat, cooked food etc etc. If food hygiene is your thing, you'd better close your eyes. CK took us to a couple of vendors selling Nyonya cakes (of course we bought some!) and then to a local "coffee shop" (more like a corner café) where we plunged into our first meal of the day – Char Kway Teow and Curry Mee being served up by stallholders located outside the cafe. Without doubt these were among the best versions of these dishes I'd ever tasted in my life. CK knew his stuff, no doubt.
Aside from tasting local food, our tour also focused on Penang's cultural heritage. CK took drove us past the various ethnic quarters within old Penang (now UNESCO listed). These ethnic quarters covered various Chinese, Malay, Indian and Anglo socio-economic groups in Penang. If you love Anglo Chinese architecture, old Penang is a must. While many are in bad repair, a city wide restoration program is in progress to bring back many of its streets back to their former glory. We also visited the Khoo Kong Si clanhouse and marvelled at the history and wealth of this clan, spanning the past two hundred years. Another highlight was the Peranakan Mansion tour – another historic insight into the lives of local Peranakans.
The culinary highlight of our day was lunch at an authentic Peranakan restaurant run by a fourth generation Nyonya lady and her family. Between the four of us, we sampled some nine Nyonya dishes! Some were familiar to me while the others were new. In all, the flavours, textures and attention to detail made our lunch quite memorable. You'd think we hadn't eaten all day! Another must go to place when we visit Penang again!
So, CK thank you for making our Penang experience so special. You are indeed a great guide and very knowledgeable at what you do. RS
I must say I do miss Penang so much indeed, the people, food and just the whole atmosphere in Penang. I was back last year after more than 10 years of absence. The 'Hokkein', feel so at home indeed. Sad to say that I am back home now. I may visit Penang one day again, afterall, I was the peranakan from Penang. It is of much privilege and lucky for those who live in Penang, my old home town. :)
My wife, Cheryl and I had a great time in Penang last month (December). We were so glad that we took your family's Penang tour as it helped us see so many places in a short time. We especially loved the historical clan houses there.
Robert and Cheryl – we are so glad that you enjoyed our tour. Thank you for your kind comment.

Dear Bee, Dear CK,
We had a great time in Penang, thanks so much to you guys! We definitely want to come back to Penang in June for Durians…
After the tour during which we stuffed ourselves while CK was watching, we took a rest and a walk before heading out to New Lane for the hawker food. As you guys suggested, we had our Ark Dui Mee Sua, which was excellent! Lulu was very happy about that. We then had the Beef Kway Teo soup, otak-otak and satays!
Nyonya Breeze was very good and we liked the sambal goreng and the salad with Apple and celery very much.
We'll still thinking about all the food we had and are hungry for more.

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had with CK last month in Penang! Everything worked out perfectly for the 3 days he was with us. We ate some great food, especially at the Nyonya restaurant he took us to. He was so kind and patient. We will always have great memories of Penang because of the experiences he shared with us! Thank you so much for your assistance with making the arrangements! Take care.

I wanted to check out the Malaysian Cookbook under Betty Saw and came across your website. Oh, this is wonderful.

Thank you for customizing a private tour with in our schedules. The local food was great! Nyonya laksa is the best and the hakka food is to die for!! wish we can bring some back home with us!!

This was a great tour package and we will be back again!!!
We just came back from a 3 days tour in Penang. We would like to take this opportunity to thanks to our tour guide Mr C.K. Low. He is a wonderful and passionate tour guide which is hard to come by.

Please thank CK Low for bringing us around during our stay in Penang on 23rd June. My husband and I enjoy the sights and sound and of course the durians.

I just wanted to say "Thank You!" to CK for arranging such a wonderful tour for us. We really enjoyed meeting CK and seeing the island with him. I got to eat some durians at Balik Pulau so was very happy! Please pass on our thanks to CK.
I am back to my office work today after touring in Malaysia! The trip we had in Penang was very fine! Your guide was very cooperative & adjusting with our requests / requirements! Thanks a lot again & we will look forward such tours in Malaysia with your services in near future!

On behalf of the four of us, the Duggans of Hong Kong and the Patersons of South Australia we would like to congratulate your company on providing us with such a good and obliging driver and guide on Sunday 8th August, who happily altered the itinerary to enable us to see the things that mattered to us. The guide was solicitious of my well being, helped me into and out of the car, made sure that we had a nice meal, found us in the crowd at lunchtime, never put us in danger of traffic snarls or parking hassles. Both Neil and I had very bad chest infections and so were not able to venture far at some stops. Your guide was indeed a real gentleman and we appreciated his knowledge and interest in us.

Would like to thank you for the wonderful tour around Penang…… We enjoyed our holiday there…… will recommend ur service to the others…… 2 thumbs up……..
Myself & my family will be heading to Penang during the soon to come school holidays, we are thinking of taking your tours for 2 days. However before we proceed, I have a few questions to ask ; Is your Private Tour a legal tour and are your company a member of MATTA ?
The reason I ask is in Penang there are dozen of SAPU TOURS using normal car to ferry customer around and it is so risky and dangerous.
We just came back from our little holiday and want to thank you for the fabulous tour which you provided for us. Our guide is so lovely, patient, super knowledgeable and fantastic with little ones. He's gone above and beyond any expectations (he even dropped our laundry off to the laundromat for us!). It was two long working days for him, but for me, it was 2 unforgetables days of Penang. Fabulous food, friendly people. We'll be back for sure!

Rasa Malaysia, thank you for a job well done ! This is our 3rd time in this beautiful island called "Penang" and we are very pleased and happy with the ground tour we took with your company on 14th & 16th Oct.2010.
Thanks for providing us with a very knowledgeable and service friendly driver cum guide. We will be back in 2011.
Dear Bee and CK,
Thank you for assigning us to your wonderful guide. He went above and beyond as a driver and tour guide for my husband and me. Having him with us during our visit to Penang made our holiday extra special. On one of our touring days with him, we asked to be dropped off at a hawker center for dinner even though it was raining rather heavily that evening. We happily ate hot bowls of noodles in soup in the covered area of the center, but dreaded going back to the car because we saw from afar that our path back to the car had become flooded. When we were almost done with our meal, the guide showed up to our table with a large umbrella! And he kindly walked us to where he had reparked the car to an elevated area! We were surprised by his thoughtfulness to keep us as dry as possible. He's a really sweet person. Please let him know that we appreciated his enthusiasm to guide and assist us. Thanks so much.

I am staying in KL but my mum is in Penang. I am interested to know more about Penang like a local does. Do u do pick up from residential?

thank you
Hi CK,
My sister and I would like to thank you very much for being such a kind and accommodating guide yesterday. It helped us appreciate Penang more because of the stories you've shared with us.
Most of all, I'm glad to have traveled all the way to Penang because the eating places where you brought us served the best food I've ever tasted.
I go back home with great stories to tell and hope that more people will come to Penang and feel the heart and soul of the island.
We wish you success always in your tours.

And they are very satisfy with all the hospitality and great friendly feelings all the time with your tourguide
I have no doubt to recomend this tour to everyone who plan to visit Penang
Wish you well and keep up the good things.
i'd love to get one of those tours!
is it possible to get 2 days tour only instead of 3 days?
Dear CK,
Thank you so much for being our tour guide and we did enjoy a great Round-the-island Private Tour & tasted different delicious local food / fruits (esp. the freshest durian) in Penang.
Impressed me much was your wonderful hospitality and always willing to offer us your warm helping hands. After our day tour, I knew you had another night job, but you still kept a close contact with us and immediately e-mailed me your recommendations on those local restaurants / foodstalls for yummy dishes when you went back home.
My heartful thanks for your accpmpany, perfect arrangement and kind assistance. I have no hesistation to recommend your services to my friends and everyone who plans to visit Penang :D
For sure, next time when I visit Penang, I will join you private tour again. Hope to meet u very soon ^_^
I have just arrived back in LA and want to thank you for the fantastic arrangement during our recent visit to Penang.
Your guide is a terrific driver / tour guide – extremely polite, patient, always on time & he spoke "Hokkien Wah" too.
We enjoyed the trip to Feringhi for durian, Pulau Tikus Market for various spices & salted fish, kitchen gadget shops where I bought "Ang Ku Kueh" & "Slad Popiah" molds. We also visited the home where they filmed "Little Nyonya" series. We had some familiar food (my grandma is from Penang) – Chendol, Asam Laksa, Char Hor Fun, Char Kwei tiau, Hey Mie, Oyster omelette, etc, etc. Hard to believe we consumed so much in just a 3 days… I am drooling while writing about it now.
We especially enjoyed the trip to Feringhi for Durian, the durian was so yummy, we also bought dozens of " Durian Kueh" for friends in Singapore & LA.
All in all it was a memorable weekend in Penang & I have recommended your Tour to my friends & family; we'll surely contact you again the next time we visit Penang.

My family and I had a wonderful all day tour with Mr. C K Low. We highly recommend a day trip with this friendly, informative and courteous tour guide. C K went out of his way to make us comfortable and took us to many wonderful Penang sites, where he knew a lot about the history and stories of the area. If you go to Penang then hire C K Low for the day, you won't regret it!
I am interested on the Firefly Tour. We will be staying at Paradise Sandy Beach Hotel on 9 or 10 Dec. How much does it cost for 2 adults and 3 children ? We have another family of 3 adults and 1 child. What's the price like ?

Just a note to say thank you and we had a good time in Penang!
Our daughter, Naomi loves the butterfly farm, the Penang Hill – tram ride, all the yummy food that Alex brought us. After the tour with Alex ended, we spend most of our time at the Pool. We will be back and we will look for you guys again.
Alex was also wonderful and patience, we are happy with all the food recommendation he took us, we wish we had more time in Penang.
Thank you once again.
Have a Merry Christmas & A happy New year in advance!

Greetings from HK. would want to know if you do regular durian farm tour; if so, are there any dates/itinerary with approximate price for 1 day tour. Am thinking of going to Penang this year (June?) with mother and brother (3 pax at the moment, maybe more later) and would like to know the cost and logistics so that I may do planning.
regards, Susan
Hello Rasa Malaysia Great info keep up the great recipes coming Thx:)
Dear CK Low,
On the 13t July 2102 with a group of 8 adults we were lead by Alex for a 9 hour food tour. We were very pleased with the service. The guide was very friendly AND patient throughout, very flexible arrangement and at the end of the day we extended to another 5 hours of tour the next day where he patiently brought us over to Butterworth through the Penang bridge and back by ferry.
Strongly recommend this service for Penang tour.

We strongly recommended this tour and don't even hesitate to hire them for your holidays in Penang.

Solar work is educational at Eric L. Knowlton School
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
On November 19th, the Knowlton School fourth grade class watched along while one of the school's solar panels was replaced. Kelly and Denise Smith of Energy Tech East volunteered their time to replace the broken panel. This also was an opportunity for students to learn about the solar panels that overlook their playground.
After replacing the panel and regreasing the bearings, Kelly took time to answer students' questions about the solar panels. One student asked how much electricity the panels produced. Kelly answered that this array produces about 4 percent of the Knowlton School's electrical needs. A teacher asked how much carbon does the solar array offset. The solar array offsets the same amount of carbon as about 650 trees. Another student asked what would happen to the panels if they were struck by lightning. "Will you get more Electricity?" the student questioned. After some laughter, Kelly explained that no they won't and the solar panels are designed so they won't get damaged if struck by lighting.
The Schools for Energy Efficiency (SEE) program is a five year, district-wide effort to reduce energy consumption and maximize savings. For more information about the SEE Program, please visit http://www.class5energy.com/k-12-schools.

King, Prince & Emperor of Thorns Series by Mark Lawrence
A hundred petty warlords are struggling to carve their own pieces out of the Broken Empire, the divided remnants of a glorious, high-technology society obliterated in a monstrous war. Little has survived from before that time aside from a few books of philosophy and war, and religion.
Prince Jorg, the son of King Olidan of Ancrath, is a boy of nine when he sees his mother and brother brutally murdered by agents of Count Renar. When Olidan makes peace with Renar in return for a few paltry treaties and goods, Jorg runs away from home in the company of a band of mercenaries. As the years pass, Jorg becomes cruel, merciless and ruthless. He sees his destiny is to reunite the Broken Empire and rule as the first Emperor in a thousand years, and nothing and no-one will deny him this destiny.
Prince of Thorns is the first novel in The Broken Empire, a trilogy which was fiercely bidded over by several publishers before HarperCollins Voyager won the publishing rights in the UK. It's being touted by Voyager as 'the big new thing' for 2011, to the extent where they are even giving away copies to people who have pre-ordered A Dance with Dragons from certain UK bookstores.
This faith is mostly justified. Prince of Thorns is a remarkable read. Well-written and compelling, it is also disturbing. Anyone who's ever bailed on reading Donaldson's Thomas Covenant books because of a horrific thing the main character does a couple of chapters in will probably not enjoy this book either. Jorg is a protagonist with the quick wits of Locke Lamora, the charm and resourcefulness of Kvothe but the moral compass of Gregor Clegane. The book has the protagonists (the word 'hero' is completely incompatible with Jorg or his merry band of psychopaths and lunatics) doing things that even the bad guys in most fantasy novels would balk at, and for this reason it is going to be a challenging sell to some readers.
Lawrence writes vividly and well. The dark and horrible things that Jorg and his crew get up to are mostly inferred rather than outright-described, which is just as well. Lawrence also avoids dwelling on Jorg's physical actions too much in favour of delving into his psyche, working out what makes him tick, presenting these ideas to the reader, and then subverting them. As the book unfolds and we learn more about Jorg's hideous experiences, we realise why he is the way he is, though at almost every turn Jorg also chides the reader for thinking he is trying to excuse himself or beg for forgiveness. He is simply presenting the facts and the context and leaves them to decide whether he is the logical result of circumstance or someone who could have saved himself from this dark path if he had chosen to do so. Lawrence's aptitude with the other characters is no less accomplished, with deft strokes used to create vivid secondary roles concisely and with skill.
Outside of the excellent characterisation, Lawrence paints a vivid picture of a post-apocalyptic world. The ruins of an earlier, technological age (probably our one, though the map suggests that if it is, the geography of the world has been radically transformed, at least in the area the story takes place) litter the landscape, and it's interesting to see references to familiar names and places. The works of Plutarch, Socrates and Sun Tzu have survived, as has the Christian faith, and in the distant east place-names sound more familiar (Indus, Persia). This evokes the feeling of a world broken and twisted, the new rammed in with the old, the effect of which is unsettling (I think it might be what Paul Hoffman was going for in The Left Hand of God, but Prince of Thorns does it much better). I assume more about the world and the history will be revealed in the inevitable sequels. Whilst Prince of Thorns is the opening volume in a trilogy, but also works well as a stand-alone work. Whilst there is clearly more to come, it ends on a natural pause, not a cliffhanger, which is welcome.
This is a blood-soaked, cynical and unrelentingly bleak novel, but it also has a rich vein of humour, and there are a few 'good' (well, relatively) characters to show that there is still hope in the world. There are some minor downsides: a few times Jorg seems to 'win' due his bloody-minded attitude overcoming situations where he is phyiscally or magically outclassed, and there's a few too many happy coincidences which allow Jorg and his men to beat the odds, especially right at the end. There's also an event about three-quarters of the way through the novel which is highly impressive, but may be a bit hard for some fantasy fans to swallow.
Prince of Thorns (****½) is a page-turning, compelling and well-written novel, but some may be put off by its harsher, colder aspects. Those can overcome this issue will find the most impressively ruthless and hard-edged fantasy debut since Bakker's Darkness That Came Before. The novel will be published on 2 August in the USA and two days later in the UK.

I really enjoyed the book as well. Interesting main character and while the timeline was interesting, not sure where or when in Earth's history it takes place, the best part was the little twist towards the end.
Great review Wert, as always.
May 12th, 2011, 02:04 AM #3
That's an encouraging review, Werthead. I've not read many, if any, books with a protagonist like that so it'll be a new experience for me.
I'm really looking forward to it, and I've already paid my money
May 13th, 2011, 12:12 AM #4
Nice review, Adam. I saw on Mark's webpage that he sees the book as a kind of fantasy version of A Clockwork Orange. I'm quite excited about this one. Looks like it may well be the big debut epic fantasy release that we crave every year.

Sounds interesting. I pre-ordered it awhile ago after Pat wrote a blog on it. Sounds like I should enjoy it.
May 13th, 2011, 02:25 PM #6
I've got an ARC from Ace. I planned on getting to the book, but will probably push it a little higher on the pile. At least so I time it with the book's release.
May 14th, 2011, 01:47 PM #7
For real I am really looking forward to this book. It sounds like it is going to be absolutely fantastic. The comparisons to Bakker and Hoffman caught my attention and Jorg sounds like a helluva character. August cannot get here fast enough.

Prince of Thorns
Nice review as always Wert. Picked up a copy of this yesterday from Waterstones after reading your post about the ADWD pre-order deal.
I'm currently about half way through and really enjoying it so far. I haven't compared this copy to the official one listed so I'm not sure if it's the full book or whether there's some parts missing like the map (which isn't too much of an issue since Mark very nicely has a copy posted on his website).
I'm hoping it's all there although it does appear to be about 11 pages shorter than the page count listed on goodreads.com so I'm a little worried...
So far this is turning out to be a great read; very well paced and engrossing despite the relatively light worldbuilding aspects. I'll come back with a final verdict when I'm done

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Shoppers can help homeless through Siloam
Grocery shoppers can help make Winnipeg's homeless a little less hungry today.
Siloam Mission is having its annual #Shop4Siloam event to collect food and cash donations for its Easter dinner.
Volunteers will be outside Sobeys at 1939 Bishop Grandin Blvd. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to take donations ranging from coffee, lunch meats and milk to toothbrushes, toothpaste and plastic wrap.
"It's things we need to sustain us every day," said Judy Richichi, one of the organizers and director of development and finance at Siloam Mission. "Homelessness doesn't take a holiday, so we need people to keep us at the top of their mind all the time."
The goal is to target shoppers who may not otherwise think of donating food items.
"The need is always there, so it just allows people to participate at a time when they're feeling compassionate," Richichi said.
The event is in partnership with ICUC Moderation Services, a social-media management company in Winnipeg.
Staff from ICUC and Siloam Mission will be live-tweeting the event using the hashtag #Shop4Siloam to drum up more support.
Siloam Mission is serving a traditional Easter dinner to between 500 and 700 people from noon to 2 p.m. Friday and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sunday and Monday.
People can also donate online at www.siloam.ca/donate.

University of New Hampshire Frenzy-Free Finals stress busters includes dogs
Thursday, December 13, 2012
DURHAM — Students at the University of New Hampshire took a break from studying for finals at the Dimond Library this week, relieving stress with the help of dogs, treats, and the traditional primal scream, which took place near midnight Dec. 10.
As many as six dogs were brought into the library throughout the day, settling in various spaces with students gathering around them on the floor. By 8:30 a.m., with the first dog due at 9 a.m., students were already asking librarians when they would arrive.
Tracey Lauder, assistant dean of library administration, said they hope to bring the dogs every year, and possibly every semester. The problem, she said, is there aren't enough dogs to go around; they most often visit hospitals and nursing homes.
"They students seem to appreciate the attempts at helping ease the stress of finals," Lauder said. "We're glad to be part of that."

Pentecost weekend camping and castle hunting
June 8, 2012 67 Comments
I take a bit of a break from my Tuscany series and bring back a bit of Dutch flavor to my post.
Two weekends ago, we had this long weekend due to the observance of Pentecost. The Dutch may not be that religious but there are a few Church holidays where an extra day of holiday is observed the following day such as Christmas (Second Christmas Day), Easter (Second Easter Day) and Pentecost (Second Pentecost Day).
The Pentecost weekend had the best weather we ever saw this year with summery temperature that hit beyond 30 degrees Celsius. After the wet, grey and chilly spring, we were just so glad to finally be able to get rid of our coats and wear light clothing and to be able to enjoy sunshine to our hearts' content. We opted to go camping and put to test the new tent which we were pretty curious to check out. Our old tent suffered irreparable from the mistral last year when we camped in the South of France.
We camped in Heidepark, Lemelerveld which was about an hour's drive from our place. No special reason to choosing this camping place except that it was a good distance away from home and that there was also a pool which the little girl was so excited about.
I love combining such an adventure with castle hunting and in this country, it is not impossible to find a castle that is within easy reach. The Nijenhuis Castle proved to be a good choice because it had a wonderful sculpture garden and amazing collection of contemporary Dutch art as well. The sculpture garden was a big hit with the little girl who found it a wonderful place to explore and simply perfect for hide-and-seek.

12 assists. And of course as the 80M man he took the majority of the shots. They won though so it's all good.
Harden with 37 and 15 (Assist) in his first game 4 steals 6 rebounds. Wow.
12 assists. And of course as the 80M man he took the majority of the shots. They won though so it's all good.
I thought Harden couldn't be a go-to scorer.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I said he was better than Gordon awhile ago, but this was one game. If he does it for a large portion of games that'll be my aha moment Lp
1 game against the Pistons on a team where he can take as many shots he wants. Relax folks.
I didn't watch the game so I'm going to review the game tape and formulate my own opinion.
Lillard has to work on not turning the ball over before he starts reaching Lin territory. He'll likely get better at it though.
Lakers D reminds me of Saints D.
What in the world happened to Nash?
PG's are still killing the Lakers.
Nash hurt his knee earlier in the game.
Ankle, not Knee. He rolled it.
Thanks guys.
In other news, Hornets have Utah on Friday. Utah rolled on the Mavs tonight the way the Mavs rolled on the Lakers last night.
Just went back and watched the Rockets opener. I gotta admit, Harden was amazing. He looked like a superstar. He was dominate. Without all the ISO the Thunders tend to run, Harden is shining without all the chucking and discombobulated style of play.
Really it was a dumb trade for the Thunder. The team is a championship contender and they basically traded away a huge piece to look towards the future and costing them a chance to win a title this season. Harden was the glue guy between Durant and Westbrook and now with him gone, Westbrook will be a disaster most games with his shot selection, turnovers, and poor defensive awareness. Mentally, Westbrook is a horrible decision maker. Westbrook was pretty bad in the Finals as well.
45 points 7 rebounds 2 assist tonight. Told you this boy was no joke.
14/19 shooting

Neighborhood Highlights
Must-See Times Square
by nycgo.com staff, 12/25/2012
Times Square aerial photo by Jen Davis • TKTS kiosk photo by Marley White
Times Square remains one of New York City's most beloved attractions. The neighborhood, which stretches from 42nd to 47th Streets, from Broadway to Seventh Avenue, and spills out into the surrounding area, hosts more than 39 million visitors per year. It's easy to understand why: the "Crossroads of the World" is home to Broadway theaters, the annual New Year's Eve Ball Drop and, of course, those famous billboards—plus much, much more. Named for The New York Times, whose 1 Times Square address served as the newspaper's headquarters from 1904 to 1913, the area is now an entertainment district and business hub, serviced by one of the busiest subway stations in the world. During the latter half of the 20th century, the neighborhood turned seedy, but over the past two decades it has become a safe, family-friendly destination that no visitor will want to miss. In this slideshow, we've collected tips on what to see, where to shop, what to eat and even insider info on some of the many colorful characters waiting to be discovered on its streets. For more information, read on.

The Magic Johnson Foundation, along with the Lakers' legend himself, and director Spike Lee have teamed up to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS for two PSA's, "Stand" and "Talk". Lee directed the spots that feature Magic and his powerhouse of a wife Cookie encouraging the public to get informed about the disease, especially the younger population. "I think a lot of times we just don't have the information," Magic said, "Especially young people. They think they're invincible and nothing can happen to them but the numbers are showing that those getting HIV are real young now. We have to now do something about that. If it was 16, 17, 18, 19 years ago you should be afraid because you don't know what might happen and people were dying at alarming rates," he says. "Now you have almost 30 drugs that can take care of you, and you can live a healthy and long life."

It took Rafael Nadal less than two hours to defeat Roger Federer (6-1, 6-3, 6-0) and win his fourth consecutive title at Roland Garros. Sunday's victory also gave Rafa some impressive numbers to add to his resume: 28-0 for his career at the French Open; 115-2 on clay since April 2005; and 22-1 in clay-court finals. "I am humble," Nadal said, "but the numbers are the numbers. If I am playing my best tennis ever, I'm never going to win 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 against Roger Federer, no? For sure, it's impossible," the second-ranked Nadal said. "He didn't play very well. Everybody knows that."
During the trophy ceremony, Federer, of course, didn't smile and our classy Tapa felt compelled to apologize: "Roger, I'm sorry." But, FINALLY, it seems that the Swiss Mister has reached into his soul and yanked outta a little bit 'o praise for the King of Clay. "He dominated from the first point until the end," said Federer, "It's the strongest Rafa that I've ever seen. He was more dominant than the previous years. He no longer plays short balls, the way he did in the past. You can no longer attack him on his forehand, the way I could in the past. He is getting much more aggressive, and it's becoming much more difficult…I still go out of this tournament with a positive mind-set. Not with a mind-set: 'Oh my God, I had no chance today.'" Shhhh…you almost won me over with 'strongest Rafa you've ever seen'…don't blow it now R-Fed.
Italy is feeling the pain in Fabio Cannavaro's leg as much as the benched hottie is. Italy was powerless against the Netherlands who delivered a crushing 3-0 victory to my boys while I was out frolicking in the desert…all hope may not be lost though if Luca Toni can manage to pull some mojo outta his hat when they attack the weakest link in the Group of Death: Romania.
Oh yeah…the US Open hot-hot-hotties have converged in my hood in attempts to tackle the greens at Torrey Pines while effectively dodging a certain redhead. Last time I checked, we had about 10,000 peeps per day for the Buick, and estimates for the Open are nearing 1000,000. This means traffic, closed roads, shuttle buses, no parking and long lines. You can certainly expect me to be there at some point in efforts to help Ian Poulter find better things to do with his time than watch videos of himself…
And I am also painfully aware that Justin Timberlake and Tony Romo were kicking it at the Pines over the weekend, but since I've already molested Justin Timberlake in Vegas, and Romo has been tainted by a certain blond, I preferred to be in the desert raising awareness for the Pro Team charities…
As always, thanks for reading.
