In this post, we are taking a deep dive into our budget and how the two of us spent about $1,200 USD for a 4 week stay in Penang, Malaysia in November 2019. We picked Penang because it is a food paradise and we have not been disappointed on that front!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since the pandemic and hence a year since we’ve been able to travel internationally. Right before the travel shutdown, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a month in the foodie paradise of Penang, Malaysia after a month enjoying the wonderful beach of Koh Lanta (read: Koh Lanta destination report) and Koh Lipe in Thailand. We traded the ocean for the table and tasted some of the best food in Southeast Asia!
