PENANGITE PRIDE

PADANG KOTA

Esplanade

Affectionately known as 'Padang Kota', many Penangites call this the heart of Georgetown, as it is not only beautiful to behold but also replete with many great local delicacies nearby.

A calling of "Eh, let's go Padang Kota lah" usually marks the start of a memorable weekend.

Beach Street, or better known as Lebuh Pantai to the locals, is the central business district of the island. Many banks house their headquarters behind the unmistakable and charming colonial architecture of the street. Sunday mornings are typified by locals and tourists flocking the area for Occupy Beach Street, a weekly even showcasing the best small businesses, arts, crafts, and lifestyle that Penang has to offer. I love driving here. It sometimes feels like a scene out of a Hollywood movie. Crazy Rich Asians comes to mind.

PANTAI

I DON'T DO YOGA

I love taking the Porsche 718 Cayman on a drive around Penang. The day starts with a stop at Penang Hill relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature. By mid-day, I am at Batu Feringghi, each week trying something new for lunch or sneaking the odd snack or two. No need for yoga, this is a form of meditation for me. This is my lifestyle.
