The festive celebration begins at Rasa Sayang with beautifully decorated Christmas trees in the lobby and restaurants from the first day of December. A 7-foot tall unique Christmas tree constructed from two types of popular Malaysian spices, Star Anise and cinnamon sticks fills the atmosphere with their wonderful aroma. The tree fittingly placed in front of Spice Market Café, the all-day dining restaurant at the resort. The peak of the celebrations start on Christmas Eve with an evening cocktail for all guests at the Banyan Tree Garden where carollers from The Seventh Day Adventist Church belt out popular Christmas carols in harmony. The Santa Claus and Santarina will also be seen around the resort on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day giving out candy canes to everyone they meet.

On new year's eve, Rasa Sayang gets ready to welcome 2019 the theme “The Great Gatsby” in colours of black and gold at the Raintree Garden. Guests, munching on snacks and with drinks in hand, will be serenaded with great music by Somebody Who, a local band in Penang. The countdown party ends at the stroke of midnight with black and gold balloons raining down in honour of a completed 2018 and a grand welcome for 2019.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
