Breakfast at DoubleTree Hilton Resort Penang
There’s a breakfast rush hour recommendation at DoubleTree Resort Hilton Penang. To keep away from the crowds within the morning, we began early at 7am and at the moment, the group was actually skinny. Most likely as a result of a lot of the youngsters are nonetheless snoozing or solely beginning to get off the bed. The breakfast at DoubleTree Resort Hilton Penang is reasonably intensive. You may get all delicacies starting from Malaysian, Chinese language, Indian and Western (inclusive of an egg station). There’s even one thing for the children on the child’s nook.

We then proceeded indoors, simply in case the crows paid us one other go to. Talking of crows, there appears to be a nest of them by the tree on the pool. Hopefully the administration sees this submit and does one thing about it as it’s inflicting considerably of a nuisance each by the pool and through breakfasts.
TeddyVille Museum @ Batu Ferringhi DoubleTree Hilton Resort Penang
The opposite cause why we opted to remain at DoubleTree Hilton Resort Penang was as a result of TeddyVille Museum @ Batu Ferringhi is housed inside its premise!
The cool factor about being visitors at DoubleTree Hilton Penang is that visitors get half off at TeddyVille Museum @ Batu Ferringhi. Because of this as an alternative of paying 32RM per particular person, we paid solely 16RM per particular person to enter. The tour began with a historical past of teddy bears…
Essentially the most well-known of those is after all how Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that was caught by his bear hunter. This information caught nationwide headlines and shortly, a now-well-known cartoon of Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot, turned synonymous with the occasion.
A Brooklyn-based sweet store proprietor, noticed a possibility and stuffed a teddy bear, dedicating it to the “President who refused to shoot a bear”. Quickly after, “Teddy’s Bear” (or Teddy Bear) turned a preferred mushy toy for youths around the globe!
Talking of Roosevelt, it reminded us of our go to to Yellowstone Nationwide Park the place we had the bison burger at Roosevelt Lodge and visited the attractive Previous Devoted geyser.
There are a number of issues that we preferred about TeddyVille Museum @ Batu Ferringhi.

You possibly can first study in regards to the historical past of teddy bears generally, then the historical past of Penang, the tradition in Penang – which incorporates meals and occasions.

Secondly, there may be alot of consideration and particulars positioned into all of the displays. As an example, should you zoom into the diorama that depicts the assorted scenes on the museum, you’ll discover the facial expressions are fastidiously chosen. We notably preferred the diorama on the Penang Hawker Centre the place a vacationer makes use of his digital camera to seize the hawkers in motion. That’s what we’d doubtless do in actual life as properly! The bears consuming the durians additionally gave the impression to be so absorbed in savouring the yellow-yellow flesh too! Don’t neglect to take a look at the char koay teow teddy bear placing on his “recreation face” as he fries his plate of fried kway teow!
Thirdly, guests may “take part” within the displays. As an example, you’ll be able to stand subsequent to the char koay teow bear as he fries the following plate of char kway teow or be a part of the queue for the well-known Penang Chendol. Our favorite? Sitting proper in the midst of the durian feast!
On the finish of the go to, you’ll be capable to get some magnets, shirts or keychains from the memento store. As a part of the doorway tickets, we got 10RM off t-shirt purchases. Nonetheless, the design that we preferred didn’t have our measurement. 😔
A few issues that we thought may very well be improved although, was to have “take image right here” indicators in addition to higher lightings. This may assist in taking these instagram-worthy pictures, which can even help within the visitorship at TeddyVille Museum @ Batu Ferringhi. Nonetheless, it was a superb museum the place we spent greater than an hour being educated within the native tradition and taking masses and a great deal of pictures.

We obtained the chance to take some fairly good pictures on the seaside. There are some lovely gray “Elephant Rocks” by the seaside. They gained this time period as a result of because the tide rises and a part of the rocks get submerged, they do appear to be elephants transferring throughout the waters. Additionally, within the distant, we might additionally think about a number of rocks forming a bear with a giant tummy mendacity down. Are you able to see it too?

We additionally obtained to throw skipping stones! One in every of our favorite “free” actions by the seaside (however after all be sure that there are not any swimmers within the ocean earlier than you throw). All it’s a must to do is to seek out flat stones – which you’ll be able to often discover by the seaside as a result of the waves would sand down the rock surfaces and additional time, you’d get these flat stones, excellent for skipping stones.
