Malaysia: Some days in Penang

Lembongan, 8º40'10''S 115º27'1''E

Tras 5 dias en borneo decidi pasar unos dias en Penang, sitio que me habian recomendado especialmente por la comida, y que me vendria muy bien para curar mi quemadura. 
Aqui os dejo unos consejos.
Tips:
Bus RapidPenang from the airport to Georgetown (something around 4.7 ringgit, I dont remember).
There are many nice hostelsin Georgetown area, I stayed at The frame, a really fancy place, with confy dorms and also private rooms all with AC. Dorms from 32 ringgits, breakfast included. It is located in Labon Chulia, the heart of Georgetown.
Fom there you can explore the neigborhood: the streetart, the old mansions, little India, chinatown...and enjoy food in the street stalls or in the little restaurantes. Also, there are some cool cafes and venues like China House where you can eat the perfect cake while listening to some live music.

Sri Ananda, hindu restaurant, always crowded. If you don't know what to order just ask for what is eating the guy sitting next to you.
Ros Mutiara, also a hindu, in Chulia street.
Try chicken rice in the area restaurant and taste the tipical food in the street stalls.

Peranakan Mansion, 21 Ringgits. A recreation of a typical rich 19th century Baba home, the elegantly restored museum is a testament to the Baba-Nyonya cultural revival and displays over 1,000 pieces of antiques and collectibles.
