Malaysia is a melting pot of a variety of local and international delicacies. If you decide to have your vacation up north, you may want to know that there are places to go in Penang where you can get to taste many delicious dishes. The best part about it is that your food expedition on the island does not even have to be expensive to begin with. One way you can truly save on your finances is by booking a hotel room at an inexpensive accommodation. Spending your nights at an expensive hotel may give you the appearance of being somewhat wealthy but if it is only going to make you worry about your finances it won’t really be worth it.

If you are under the impression that staying at a budget hotel will keep you further away from all the places to go in Penang for good food, you may be sadly mistaken. Many cheap accommodations are located near public transportation ...
... hubs and some are even located right in the city centre. Gone were the days when inexpensive lodgings are only found in dodgy streets and dark alleys. These facilities are now often brightly lit and decorated in modern themes to provide more comfort for their guests at a fraction of the cost of staying at a 5-star hotel. So you can be sure that you won’t be missing the must-have plate of Penang ‘char koay teow’ or ‘pasembur’ because you will have access to almost all the good food available on the island.

You may also want to bear in mind that there are many places to go in Malaysia for good food in the south. The city of Johor Bahru is never short of tasty dishes with colourful flavours of the various ethnicities in the country. Whether you are looking for Malay or Indian or Chinese foods you can be sure that you are able to find the type of food you want in the southernmost city on the Malaysian Peninsula. Of course, to be able to do so it is advisable that you book a cheap hotel room at a location that gives you easy access to many popular food courts like the Warung Batu near the government complex or Tepian Tebrau along the coast of the straits.

There are also places to go in Danga Bay where you can easily find mouth-watering local delicacies such as ‘mee rebus’, ‘cakoi bakar’ and the infamous ‘ais kacang’. These local delights are popular among tourists from in and out of the country. The good news is these tasty dishes are generally cheap. Many experienced travellers may tell you that in order to have 24 hour access to these foods you may want to choose a place of stay that is located near them. The hotel of your choice does not have to be expensive either. You can still find a cheap accommodation that will not cost a bomb and still get the level of comfort you need as a tourist.

You don’t necessarily have to miss out on all the good food even when you are travelling on a budget. It is advisable that you set your priorities straight so that you know what is more important to spend your money on. You may want to keep in mind that staying at a budget hotel will enable you to have more money to spend on your actual vacation. After all, you are probably not planning to spend your entire vacation cooped up in your hotel room. So why spend too much money on boarding? You might as well spend more on all the good food.
