#naturalbeauty Nestled deep within the lush greenery of Tokun Forest in Bukit Mertajam, **Senlin Chafang (Forest Tea House)** is a serene retreat that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As you drive up the winding road leading to this hidden gem, you can feel the temperature drop and the air become fresher—a refreshing change from the heat of the lowlands. The first thing that strikes you about Senlin Chafang is its peaceful ambiance. The cafe is surrounded by tall trees and dense foliage, giving it a secluded, almost magical feel. You can choose to sit indoors, where the rustic decor and wooden furnishings blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings, or outside on the deck, where you can enjoy your tea with a side of birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves. After a rewarding hike through Tokun Forest, this tea house is the perfect place to relax and recharge. The menu is simple but delightful, focusing mainly on Chinese teas and light snacks. I opted for their signature pu-erh tea, served in a traditional tea set, which was earthy and aromatic—a perfect match for the tranquil setting. To accompany my tea, I tried their homemade dumplings, which were freshly steamed and bursting with flavor. The combination of the hot tea and tasty dumplings, enjoyed amidst the cool forest air, made for an incredibly soothing experience. What sets Senlin Chafang apart is not just its location but the sense of calm and relaxation it offers. It’s a place where you can unwind, breathe in the fresh air, and reconnect with nature. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful spot to relax after a hike, Senlin Chafang is a must-visit when in Bukit Mertajam. #SenlinChafang #ForestTeaHouse #BukitMertajam #HiddenGem #NatureCafe #TeaLovers #RelaxAndUnwind #EscapeTheCity #ForestRetreat #TranquilTeaTime

#malaysiatrip Penang, Malaysia is very well known for their food. People will always look for asam laksa, Char Kuey Teow, Prawn Mee, cendol etc. But there is one seafood buffet I highly recommend which is located at Iconic Hotel. Iconic Hotel is located in Bukit Mertajam, on Penang's mainland. The seafood buffet is located at level 2 inside the Mezza9 Restaurant. The price is very affordable, with one price you can enjoy a wide variety of food choices, including seafood, Western, Japanese, and local cuisines. They do have a discount for birthdays and Senior citizens. It is a must try when you are in Penang. However, this seafood buffet is only available on Fridays and Saturdays, so it is highly recommended to book in advance to avoid fully book. 📍 Iconic Hotel Penang 📮 71, Jln Icon City, Bukit Tengah,Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang

#tripxplorproject Stepping onto the sacred grounds of St. Anne's Sanctuary, I felt a blend of anticipation and reverence. The journey to this revered site was marked by a mix of excitement and solemnity, as if each step brought me closer to a place of profound significance. As I approached the weathered chapel, its presence seemed to beckon me forward, urging me to immerse myself in its storied history and timeless spirituality. The origins of St. Anne's Sanctuary can be traced back to 1833, when Chinese and Indian migrant workers arrived from the Batu Kawan area in Penang. French missionaries from Batu Kawan came to Bukit Mertajam to minister to the Catholic families in the area, eventually leading to the establishment of the sanctuary. Inside, the scent of incense filled the air, mingling with the soft murmur of prayers that echoed through the sacred space. Wandering through the tranquil gardens, I marveled at the statues of Passion and the graceful architecture that surrounded me. Each corner of the sanctuary seemed to hold a piece of the past, a reminder of the enduring legacy of faith that had brought me here. Leaving St. Anne's Sanctuary, I carried with me a sense of peace and renewal, grateful for the opportunity to have experienced such a sacred place firsthand. Business Hours: 6 am _ 9 pm Address: Jln Kulim, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang Average Price per Person: Free #church #malaysia #penang #trip #couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #kualalumpur #kl #onedaytrip #jesus

#malaysia Address: 23, Jalan Sentral Jaya, Taman Iks Bkt Tengah, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang We went to one of the outlets of Daily Coffee, located at Sentral Jaya, Bukit Mertajam. It has two floors, and for a much relaxing and quieter space - be sure to pick the upper floor! Nothing in particular was fancy about this place, but the price point were affordable in comparison with a lot of other cafes. The portions were big, especially their cup of coffee! They also serve food as well, including nasi lemak and more! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#malaysia Address: No.23-6th floor, Juru Sentral, Jalan Juru Sentral, Juru Sentral, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang Located at Juru Sentral, A SIP is the only cocktail bar in Mainland Penang. They're definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of cocktails! There was a Halloween themed event happening when we were there, and as you may have guessed it - we had special cocktails and mocktails! The whole place was also decorated well, and they gave us each a pair of ghoul rings that could light up. We had so much fun! Delicious cocktails and fun events, what more can you ask for? By the way, it is also a pet friendly bar! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#myfoodies Address: 16, Jln Icon City, Bukit Tengah, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang 65c Ondo is well known amongst the locals for their fluffy white Japanese bread, and their delicious cakes.

One should definitely try out their coffee and cake selections too! Their outlet was beautifully designed and there were ample amount of seats and plugs available (3 levels!!) So comfortable! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#myfoodies Address: TBP4122, Jalan Kebun Nenas, Bukit Tengah, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang Ang Ang's Roastery has it all - beautiful interior, amazing coffee, healthy food and delectable pastries!

As soon as you enter the cafe, you'll be greeted with a beautiful, almost zen-like interior, and a high ceiling that makes the space cozy and comfortable. Ample amount of seats and table with plugs, and there's even a patio (though, not very suitable for the Malaysian heat)! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#mymymemories Address: 13-2nd floor Jalan Juru Sentral Bukit Mertajam, 14000 Pulau Pinang There's a lot of cafes popping up in Bukit Mertajam, but if you have a sweet tooth, Kekiya Bakehouse is a cafe you need to try! Kekiya Bakehouse is located at Juru Sentral, Bukit Mertajam. They serve drinks and cakes, but as per their name, their cakes are one of the best! We tried a few of their cakes, but the one that stood out the most for us was the Yam cake! The yam was so fragrant and the cream was very fresh too! Everything melts in your mouth and it was such a pleasure eating it. The only downside is that the cafe is a little small, so it can get a little hectic and noisy! It is still worth going for all the delicious cake though 🍰 Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everytime someone mentions about traveling to penang, it’s always on the island. But what about mainland? Here’s my experience there. Their foods are actually MUCH cheaper compared to the island, AND, here’s the best part : it tastes JUST as fabulous as the ones on island. The people there are just amazing! So friendly and multilingual. The accommodations? Also amazing. Their malls? They have a LOT. I highly recommend going to Bukit Mertajam and Butterworth #penang

#resortstyle Vangoh Eminent Hotel, Bukit Mertajam, Penang, MY We never heard about it before but after we go through the web, we found out that this is a very interesting hotel as they have a lot of theme for each room. As this is last minute booking only left Prison and Tropical theme. Because we travel with kids, of course we cannot choose prison theme, we book tropical theme and its a good decision. The room is large, with a super king size bed, Bali decoration throughout the room, the seperate sitting area, 2 tv, nice shower gel n bubble bath. Every room has a large jacuzzi bubble tub with Built In Speaker/ Radio. So awesome having a nice hot buble bath while listening to a nice music. We definitely will comeback here and try other room theme ❣️ #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip

Overall, the worth staycation ever. Very smooth check in and check out with free face mask and drinking water to all guest. All rooms are equiped with Bon coffee machine. Please savour the scrumptious cuisine in Mezza9 and Crumbles Cream cafe. I recommend you to try the mocha, satay and posh fries. Hotels - 5 Stars Food & Restaurants - 5 Stars Very iconic staycation indeed.
