Nature’s wonders greeted us with open arms.
Can you guess what it could be?
A mesmerizing lizard. Yes, a reminiscent of a playful baby monitor. Its presence ignited our curiosity, urging us to explore further into the island’s untamed wildness.

The Food in Penang Beach Getaway at Shangri La Hotel
Our Exploration continued for their best offering in the food. But first, we quenched our thirsts. I asked Karen about what was in her glass. Ah, the refreshing delight of freshly squeezed watermelon juice. I must confess, I’ve been snaking sips myself.
As for me, I was indulged in a fizzy concoction, a non-alcoholic twist on the classic pina colada. It was packed with the right amount of sweetness, perfectly suited for this beachside paradise.

Our feast unfolded with a mouthwatering plate of chicken saute on the beach. Can you imagine anything more delightful? After having a closer look, it was a splendid representation of traditional chicken saute. Even the dipping sauce was aromatic enough to entice us.
Karen said that it was pretty good- a peanut sauce with a hint of sweetness. I tasted it too and must say that it left no room for disappointment.
Our First Impressions of Penang Beach Getaway at Shangri La Hotel
The assortment of vegetables that accompanied the sautes was a true delight. Perhaps we got confused between the white vegetable, which looked like coconut, or maybe cucumber. The sun casted its golden glow, and Karen was busy capturing picturesque moments. There was never a dull moment here. With the food behind us, we ventured towards the refreshing waters. The coolness of the ocean was inviting, and the swaying palm trees welcomed us with open arms. One even seemed to have emerged from the depths of the ocean—does it swim, we wonder?
As we explored further, a curious sight caught our attention. A towering coconut tree beckoned us to discover its hidden treasures. If only we had a rope to climb and grab its sweet offerings.
We wandered along the poolside, finding a little nook that invited us to relax and soak up the ambiance. Behold, the Garden area! Lush plants throve in abundance and enveloped us in their vibrant greenery.
Our Food Choices at Penang Beach Getaway at Shangri La Hotel
As we stepped into the breakfast area, we saw something extraordinary again. Zooming in, behold the grand old Braintree—a living testament to history. This majestic tree was believed to have been planted by Merchants in the late 18th century. Preserved during the construction of the resort in 1971, it stood tall, symbolizing the island’s rich heritage.
As we wandered further, we stumbled upon a charming restaurant nestled amidst nature’s embrace. We were told that the Shangri-La is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets.
As we sat, Tapioca pearls, known as Seiko Malacca, made an appearance, but we were curious about the other delicacies also. Speaking of indulgence, it was time to treat ourselves to a little something sweet. Ah, desserts—those delightful creations that brought joy to our souls.
We had mild coconut cascades over the pearls. This heavenly combination, I must say tantalized our senses. We also had an opportunity to indulge ourselves in the mung beans mixed with the shaved ice and the mysterious green ingredients. The sweetness was just right. I think it had coconut mild pandan noodles, not noodles, and it got coconut mild also.
We found ourselves in a state of bliss after savoring each spoonful.
Wrapping up
The green jellies, like slimy sweet noodle jellies, added a playful touch to the ensemble. We shared and exchanged our bites discovering nuances with each creation. More syrup for the added sweetness, a perfect balance indeed.
As we indulged in our final treat, we reflected on our journey and what a tremendous joyful experience it was.
The road ahead beacons, and we’ll be there to savor every moment, one bite at a time.
