Discover with Timothy

Discover with Timothy

Come with me. Let's discover places together.
DISCOVER WITH TIMOTHY complements my website www.penang-traveltips.com. It is to satisfy my curiosity about places and to share them with you. Although I created this channel many years ago, I could not decide what to do with it until 1 January 2022, when I finally decided to create narrated walking tours where I can show you places and share interesting details about them. Every video is carefully researched to provide fascinating information about the places featured.

    very interesting street.. with beautiful old mansions with history.. but not being rude.. its such a shame.. that hawkers centre is such an eye sore.. with very thirdworld type of vibe.. Penang people should try to improve their visual aesthetic.. why not build a beautiful hawker centre that will enhance the area.. surely its not that difficult..

    Great video on Leith Street, Timothy. Edison Hotel, once known as Cathay Hotel was a mansion built by tycoon Yeoh Wee Gark & he named his mansion, Venus House. The bungalow at the centre of the Red Garden Food Paradise hawker centre was built by tycoon Tye Yee Koon & was his primary residence.

    Oh yes, the name Yeoh Wee Gark escaped me when I walked the street. Actually, I have forgotten it, even though I was told it when I stayed there.

    Please don't take this as a criticism but I think you misunderstood. We are not critical of the captions, only that it disappears too fast, and we requested it stays on for a few seconds more. If it's not too much to ask, can we have both. Thanks.

    Ah, the memories of Jalan Penang from the 1970s and 80s! I remember watching Rambo III with my grandmother at the Odeon Cinema, and there was a coffee shop nearby which had the best wanton mee for us children even before that! I'm surprised you did not mention the old Loke Thye Kee Restaurant at the start of Jalan Burmah. Is it still in existence?

  • @discoverwithtimothy
    @discoverwithtimothy20 күн бұрын

    Loke Thye Kee Restaurant was renovated a few years back, opened to much hype, and then I think it closed down because business was bad. The last I went, the building is in good condition, but no business was operating.
