It is air conditioned and this time we enjoyed the short walk to and from the bus stop for Batu Ferringhi. Recommend - Seoul Garden buffet restaurant. Recommend - Movies!!! What a delight to purchase 2... More

Now I don't want to marr the whole plaza for the sake of one store, so I'll start with the positives: - Very decent variety - Decent prices - If I wasn't stuck in that hell-hole salon I probably could have enjoyed shopping and browsing for hours. Now for the reality! We were on our first day of holidays when... More

Plaza Gurney is one of the larger malls in Penang -- has been around for a while, but has been expanded. It's on the Gurney Drive promenade. OK, so most people on holdiay don't or won't have a good reason or desire to visit a mall, but if you do, and are staying at one of the beach hotels, this... More

My mother was born in penang and often visits, sometimes accompanied by my wife and I or other family. Regardless of who comes, we always meet up at gurney. Often we end up spending half the day shopping there, before returning the next day. The place is huge and has plenty of places to eat. Don't go if your bags... More

Located at one of the popular tourist place- Gurney. The Plaza next to G Hotel, and also near to Evergreen Hotel and Gurney Hotel. If you want to try local food, just 100m away from the mall, there is a food court/ hawker centres with wide range of Penang local food.

My friend and I walked around trying different desserts from all the stands. There are lots of big brand stores in the... More

Gurney Plaza is probably the biggest mall in Penang, and we found it easy to spend an afternoon there, in fact we found ourselves gravitating back there many times during our first visit to Penang. You probably know by now that Malaysia is arguably the best place in the world for food, and Penang is said to be the best... More
