September feels like a sweet spot – summer’s winding down in some parts of the world, and in others, it’s just getting good. This September, we’re focusing on experiences that spark both your appetite and your sense of adventure.
Our cover story brings us to Penang, where the beloved street food capital is now making waves on the global culinary stage. Food writer and podcaster Tien Chew returns on his annual pilgrimage to explore what’s new and meets three boundary-pushing chefs who are redefining the island’s dining scene with fresh, contemporary flair, adding exciting new layers to Penang’s already rich food culture.
Then there’s Da Nang, a city that’s been known as a golfer’s paradise, but there’s so much more happening. From scenic motorbike rides and beach volleyball to water sports and pickleball, it’s quickly becoming a haven for sporty, outdoorsy types looking to do more than just relax. If you love movement and sunshine, this coastal gem has your name on it.
And here’s some exciting news: Malaysia Airlines will resume flights to Brisbane in November, making it easier than ever to visit this laid-back Aussie city. We’ve put together a weekend itinerary to help you make the most of your time there, whether you’re exploring the buzzing café scene or heading out to the surrounding hinterland.
Of course, there’s plenty more to spark your curiosity. Be sure to check out our picks from Solo, London, Kochi, Bali and Kuching (perfect if you’re looking to celebrate the long Malaysia Day weekend) – there’s bound to be something to stir your sense of wanderlust.
So here’s to trying something new and finding joy in both the big adventures and the little discoveries.
Go forth and wander!
