Can we save Batu Ferringhi | Eating and shopping to recovery | PENANG MALAYSIA | Ep 16 2023

Kuala Lumpur has been a hoot, but I’m now heading to the food heaven that is Penang - and I’ll be basing my expanding waistline in Batu Ferringhi.
The last time I was in Batu Ferringhi was pre covid and the place was pumping. Hawker centre, cafes, night markets, they were all going off like a frog in a sock. But post covid that frog has lost some of its energy, its joie de vivre has disappeared faster than a croissant on a Paris Sunday morning.
Come and check out the Hawker Centre and Night Markets - they are alive and kicking but they could definitely do with an influx of tourists. So get yourselves up to Batu Ferringhi and let's get things pumping again.
Here's where to find the Hawker Centre (Long Beach Cafe), and you can't get there without going through at least some of the Night Markets...

But was the nasi goreng better than what the kids prepared on the year 9 ski trip at Mount Selwyn?

I think you've answered that question yourself. Kids cooking, meh... Remember, that was well before the time of Masterchef Kids. Most of those Melba kids could barely work their ski bindings let alone cook a decent nasi goreng. 🤷‍♂️
