Chinese communities in Penang
This is the first time I slept in a traditional Chinese clan house, Muntri House offers comfortable, air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and breakfast. It is Located at the heart of UNESCO World Heritage site of Georgetown, Penang, it has a mini garden and space for guests to relax.
Muntri House is a 5-minute walk to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, St George's Church and Kuan Yin Teng Temple. I decided to skip Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, since it looks touristy. Among the sites I visited today, I was most impressed by the Chinese Clan, the last bastions of old Chinese settlements on the island as a waterfront society of houses on stilts of various Chinese clans.
I also discovered that food near my hostel is more expensive than the city bus terminal where I had a plate of plain noodles 福建麵 of 50 cents and a food center near the museum where I had vegetables, fish, and fresh durians (tried the mild 竹脚 and the strong 猫山王) in the late afternoon. I had a plate of noodles 福建麵 with shrimp and pork for dinner near the hostel.
