Go BackKampung Mengkuang Titi (GPS: 5.41405, 100.49175) is a small Malay kampung in Mengkuang, in Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Perai. It is located about 25 km from Butterworth, not too far from the Mengkuang Dam. The name "Mengkuang" refers to the pandanus plant, whose serrated leaves are used for weaving mats. It is one of the villages in Penang on the Homestay programme.
The village of Mengkuang Titi has a population of about 800, and still retains the rustic feel ideal for the development of agricultural and cottage industries. As such, it was selected for the Mengkuang Titi Homestay. The homestay programme is intended to uplift the living standards of the rural community. Through this programme, visitors get to stay with host families and get to know their way of life. The guests get the chance to engage in the agricultural activities such as paddy planting or picking fruits from the trees.
I was actually a bit surprised when I visited the Mengkuang Titi Homestay. I had expected nothing more than a cluster of rural village houses. Instead, I saw that the government has created a "sample village". This is located along Jalan Penanti (aka Penang State Route P119).

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
