GEORGE TOWN – An online
travel guide has picked Penang as one of the
top 10 islands in the world 'you must see before you die.'
Yahoo! Travel writer
Gary McKechnie ranks Penang eighth on the list
of the 'must visit' places.
Other islands listed
are Bali, Vieques in Puerto Rico, Easter Island in Chile,
Ischia in the bay of Naples (Italy),
Chiloe in Chile, Bora Bora
in French Polynesia, Key West in the Conch Republic,
Galapagos in Ecuador and Palm Islands
in Dubai.
These destinations
offered something that could not be found anywhere else, said Mr McKechnie in
his article '10 Islands to Explore Before You Die' (http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-37926474).
He praised Penang as
Malaysia's food capital and
suggested that visitors did their 'food crawl' along George Town's street stalls.
He recommended that
foodies head to the area adjacent to the Kek Lok Si Temple in Ayer Itam to
feast on delicious food of rice, noodles, fish, shellfish, chicken, pork and
vegetables. He also suggested visitors try out lor bak, lok-lok and ikan bakar.
