Just been for my last Penang dinner. I went to the local tourist-orientated hawkers market because my feet were tired. Unfortunately an international beer company (let's call them C***sberg) were finishing off a promotion, so the place was filled with beer-fuelled swaggering youths with large bottles of beer in their hands. There was pole dancing, there was dancing on chairs & tables with the inevitable collapses, there was aggression & the need for bouncers. I've been there before and it's always been a very mellow vibe so in my opinion the blame lies very squarely with the way that the beer was promoted.
I guess Penang has a decision - does it want to be the Ibiza of Malaysia? I've had a great time here, so I hope it can ignore the pull of the beer companies and stay true to itself.
Incidentally the sting ray wings were excellent as always.
