It was on a random loitering/catch-up session with a friend when we stumbled upon this odd, charming place, which calls itself Penang on 6.

It took me until now to figure out the reasoning behind the name. This place showcases Penang on the 6th floor of Gurney Paragon, Penang's newest, arguably most chic shopping mall.



From the outside, we were on the alfresco roof of a rather swanky shopping mall yet to realize its full potential, with some lots yet to be fully utilized.

But once we stepped in, it was as if we stepped back in time, to the yesteryear of my hometown. You step out onto a spacious area, where your eyes take in the glorious paintings, the artistic design on the "buildings", and you can almost forget that you're in 2014.



For those looking to relax and take in the atmosphere, tired shoppers, or maybe just people feeling like going back in time, the small seating area and drinks stall cater to those needs at reasonable prices for locals and tourists alike.



Look down the corridor to your left, and you will find small stalls selling souvenirs, adding a touch of Bohemian spirit to a place teeming with retro vibes.



All in all, Penang on 6 provides an alternate escape from the standard things you might do on a shopping trip, and it is well worth a visit, if only for a little while.
