both with charmingly olde worlde tourist trap pockets although of course penang is much larger and much more established.
ipoh has that hard-to-top japanese genki restaurant.
penang has e&o which is not possible to top, as far as hotels go.
ipoh's churches are housed in industrial looking shophouses. penang's churches meet in expansive neo-colonial properties. i get the same underlying current of aliveness at both.
ipoh's bakeries are pretty much done by early afternoon. in penang they are called patisseries and you can buy cake at 8 PM yesssss.
ipoh has traffic lights and little green and red men. penang has jaywalkers.
food is good at both. i am unable to comment on non-food attractions, having only explored food.
