Colonial Georgetown

The overnight Bangkok-Butterworth "express" took me most of the way down the Malay peninsula, from where I got a short ferry ride across to Penang and Georgetown.

Penang is the former colonial HQ of the East Indian Company. Nowadays Georgetown, its main town is a bit jaded and run down, but is an interesting fusion of Malay, Indian and Chinese culture - temples beside mosques etc and an array of eateries - the proclaimes culinary capital of Malaysia, which is the main reason I'm here.......dinner beckons! which of the various types of cuisine do I fancy?
