PENANG - 10 TOP ISLAND IN THE WORLD

So who says that all tourist arrival into Malaysia is the effort of the Minister and the Minstry of Tourism.

An online travel guide has picked Penang as one of the top 10 islands in the world “you must see before you die.”Yahoo! Travel writer Gary McKechnie ranks Penang eighth on the list of the “must visit” places.

He praised Penang as Malaysia’s food capital and suggested that visitors did their “food crawl” along George Town’s street stalls.

He recommended that foodies head to the area adjacent to the Kek Lok Si Temple in Ayer Itam to feast on delicious food of rice, noodles, fish, shellfish, chicken, pork and vegetables. He also suggested visitors try out lor bak, lok-lok and ikan bakar.

On the local architecture, he described Penang as having a range of modern high-rise buildings to 19th-century British architecture.

He also pointed out a mix of beach resorts, preserved mangroves, fishing villages, temples, mosques and churches.

“Kek Lok Si was the best example as the largest Buddhist temple in South-East Asia,” he said.

So what has our Minister to say about this.
