Exploring Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Ipoh: Our Complete Malaysia Itinerary

We take you on a journey through our 13-day adventure in Malaysia, exploring Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Ipoh by train, ferry and grab taxis while sharing our experiences, favourite foods, and practical tips.

• Flying business class on Malaysian Airways and enjoying their famous satay chicken skewers
• Staying at the Crowne Plaza in Kuala Lumpur, perfectly positioned five minutes from the Petronas Towers
• Taking the first-class train to Penang with access to the Ruby Lounge and meal service
• Exploring Penang's UNESCO sites, including the Peranakan Mansion and the Chew Jetties
• Witnessing monkeys crossing electrical wires at precisely 6:30 pm to reach their dinner spot
• Discovering Ipoh's incredible cave temples: Sam Po Tong, Nam Thaum Tong, and Ling Seng Tong
• Trying countless Malaysian dishes at hawker centres, including bean sprout chicken and Ais Kacang dessert
• Using the Grab app for easy and affordable taxi service throughout Malaysia
• Catching the comfortable Aeroline coach from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore instead of flying

Whether you're planning your first trip to Malaysia or returning for more exploration, be sure to carry some cash for food courts, stay hydrated in the tropical heat, and most importantly, come hungry for the incredible Malaysian cuisine.
