“Urge you to skip this Indian restaurant. I tend to write positive reviews but to save fellow travels the experience, skip this Indian food restaurant. The food was terrible and the service was worse. In the foodie capital of Penang, try other Indian food restaurants so you have both good food and a good experience.”

13.Genting Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 12 reviews · from $17

Ride the Royal Carousel, Spin Crazy, Sky Towers, Super Glider, and more. Your one-day pass includes unlimited rides, but several nearby attractions cost extra.

“In general, it is of course very impressive to experience an amusement park in a mall. Nevertheless, we did not like it. Most of the attractions were not in operation and the other part had additional costs. All in all, we could maybe make 5 trips. I would recommend, if you want to visit this spot (it would be worth seeing), not to plan too much time for it and possibly only pay for the attractions you want to do on site. This is also possible and saves you money. The ticket is not worth it at all.”
