LeModish Inn Georgetown

Hotel: I've booked a hostel in Georgetown before I found out Tune Hotel has a special rate for weekly & monthly. I cancelled the hostel & try the Tune Hotel, Jalan Burmah at RM64.30/night/queen bedroom with window, fan, aircond, toilet. Booked by phone call, not online booking. Surprisingly the size of room is enough for 2 pax, has space for solat, got hair dryer. I end up 7 nights there. Turn out that most of 2-3 stars hotels here are around RM100++/night, hostel with sharing toilets RM45++/night. Lucky me. Don't forget to pay RM2/night as intructed by the Pulau Pinang government. Self-laundry: 10 minutes walking from the hotel, I found a 24-hour self-laundry at Jalan Argyll. Laundry Hub Georgetown. It uses dobi coins. RM7 for 7 coins for 14 kg normal washing (30 minutes), RM4 for 4 coins for dryer (30 minutes). Bring your own washing net so you can put all underwears inside. I'm satisfied with the cleanliness. Halal food: For Muslims, the New Theme World food court next to the Tune Hotel is not focusing on halal food but I think rice set by Kerala Banana Leaves can satisfy our hunger for lunch. Ask for vegetarian set. I also tried Simple Cafe nearby Jalan Argyll, the halal, Malay food small restaurant. The porridge & ikan asam are quite delicious, 8/10. As if I was having home-cooked meals. But they close every weekend. For breakfast I saw a long que along one of the road. I followed the line, tried roti telur, roti canai, kari with 2 big chunky of meat. I'm not a fan of curry so I rate it as 5/10. At the end of Jalan Burmah I found a special food outlet, The Community. They sell kombucha, vegetarian pasta, puddings & other things. As the seller told me all F&B are supplied by single mothers, disabled community & poor people, I tried & have no regrets. Delicious. They have yoga class every Wednesday, 7-8 pm. Let's support domestic tourism again! Just few minutes from The Community, I noticed many people flocked into a bread small shop. Driven by curiosity, I joined the que & found out they were waiting for hot, big apple pie, pineaple pie, cheese tart, egg tart & other fresh pastries. Mind you all are in front of the cashier, other assisstants will help you to pick your pastries. I bought what others have bought. Delicious, warm, big, cheap. Location: Walking distance to everywhere. Strategic. 10 minutes walking distance from the KOMTAR. Don't left your small umbrella, water, prayer mat,telekung. Surau & masjid is everywhere. Friendly people here. Ask for help if lost.
