Malaysia - Penang
This former island free port has retained much of its old world charm. Boasting an eclectic fusion of the old and the new, Penang is also sentimentally reflective of its migrant history, with its street food well renowned worldwide for encompassing ethnic Chinese, Malay and Indian influences.

Its historical capital, George Town, has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its distinctive cultural and architectural atmosphere, so much so that it was also the chosen location for classic historical films like Anna & the King and Indochine.
