I should just say that I was getting the hang of Penang after three days when we left. The fact that all the eating that goes on isn't about tourists, despite the clearly high profile of tourism and heritage in the everyday business of Georgetown at the heart of Penang, everybody eats ...and they all sure like their food.
Spending more than usual on acommodation - at The Straits Collection http://www.straitscollection.com.my/Stewart-49B.htm do check it out - really did give us a grandly unpretentious and stylish home from which to base our adventures. And people like to be helpful.
The other thing I was finding was an international approach to local art and culture which clearly has some legs in terms of enriching (inter-)cultural tourism.
Anyway, now we are in Melaka and so far its different on most fronts. Architecture however, is still fantastic.
