Penang, The Pearl of the Orient is home to one of the country's finest cuisine. It is well known as a gourmet's paradise with liveable urban municipality with a setting of mixed culture of Chinese or various origins, Malays, Indians, Mamaks or Indian Muslim, Eurasians and some Thais. 

Trishaw in Penang is an open-fronted three wheeled pedal-powered trishaws. We start by taking an unhurried stroll on a trishaw around Georgetown through narrow lanes offering a closer view of historical sites such as Kapitan Keling Mosque, St George’s Church, Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Star Publication House and Kuan Yin Teng Temple. 

The nostalgic feeling sitting on top of the trishaw indeed an unforgettable experience. Trishaw sadly has become a legacy as the numbers are slowly declining due to the rising living standards. This shoestring earnings of trishaw are on a one-way road to a natural demise as most trishaw-men are well past their prime. While some trishaws are still around, try them out and take a ride down memory lane before it fades away. 

After as light stroll, we stop at a hawker centre offering all of Penang’s famous fares. You will not only find the best local food of Penang but also international fares to cater to the discerning taste buds. Varieties of food as such as Wantan Mee, Satay, Nasi Lemak, Indian Cuisine, Hokkien Mee, Curry Mee, Chicken Rice, Char Kway Teow and other international dishes, you will be spoiled for choices.

Discover Penang through a well-balanced journey that combines scenic hilltop views, cultural landmarks, and local flavours. Together with our licensed local guide, we begin with hotel pick-up and make our way to Penang Hill. Using Fast Lane tickets, we skip the queues and ride the funicular railway up to the summit, where you’ll have time to explore and take in sweeping panoramic views across the island and mainland.  

We then continue to Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most important Buddhist temple complexes. Here, our guide introduces the history, symbolism, and architecture of the site, from its multi-tiered pagoda to the hillside terraces and statues. You’ll also have free time to explore the grounds at your own pace.  

Next, we stop at a trusted local eatery to taste Penang’s most iconic dish — assam laksa. This bold, tangy noodle soup, flavoured with tamarind, fish, and fresh herbs, is widely recognised as one of the world’s great street food dishes.  After the tasting, sit back and enjoy a scenic drive along Gurney Drive toward George Town, passing reminders of Penang’s colonial past along the waterfront. 

The experience concludes at the Armenian Street, where you may choose to relax by the sea or continue exploring George Town independently. Looking to explore more of George Town? Check out our “Penang: Hilltop Views, Temples & George Town by Trishaw” tour for a more complete experience.

If you want to understand Penang in a limited amount of time, DIscova's newest Penang Tour offers a balanced overview: from hilltop viewpoints and active places of worship to everyday local life and the lively neighbourhoods of George Town. 

Your day begins with hotel pick-up and a ride on the Penang Hill funicular, with Fast Lane tickets included for smoother access during peak periods. At the top, enjoy free time to explore and take in panoramic views over the island and mainland. Continue to Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temple complexes, where a licensed local guide introduces its pagodas, statues, and hillside gardens before allowing time to explore independently.  

Next, sample Penang’s famous assam laksa at a trusted local eatery. Ranked No. 7 on CNN’s World’s Best Foods list, this iconic dish is a bold, sour fish-based noodle soup flavoured with tamarindnand fresh herbs. After lunch, sit back for a scenic drive along the Gurney Drive waterfront and into George Town’s colonial quarter. Along the way, pass key reminders of Penang’s British past, including the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, St. George’s Church, the Padang, and Fort Cornwallis, before continuing toward the historic waterfront communities.  

Discova's heritage walk begins at the Chew Jetty area, one of Penang’s remaining clan jetties where families still live in stilted homes built over the water. From here, step into the historic core of George Town, walking through heritage streets and visiting landmarks such as the beautifully ornate Khoo Kongsi clan temple. Free time along Chulia Street allows you to walk the lanes in search of George Town’s best-known street art, tucked into shopfronts and side alleys.  

Later, enjoy a relaxing trishaw ride through George Town’s old quarters, passing the Street of Harmony, Little India, once associated with brothels, and opium dens. The ride ends at the Peranakan Mansion, an elegant former residence showcasing the lifestyle and craftsmanship of the ultra-rich Straits Chinese community. Discova's Penang Island Tour concludes at the mansion where you may choose to visit the museum independently or continue exploring George Town at your own pace.
