The noodle block.

The paste sachet.

Can smell the scent of mushroom.

Finished. Added grape tomatoes, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts and tau pok. The noodles are broad and flat and have a very good chew I enjoyed. The broth has a nice sweetness and even though it had a strong mushroom scent when I smelled the paste, it isn’t overwhelmingly mushroom flavor I’m getting. It’s a little spicy and slightly sweet and works well. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 9555730403023.

Penang as the World Heritage City: From Tourists’ Place Experience Perspectives – (from Amazon) – This book explores the dimensions of Cultural Traits and Heritage tourism in Penang. Penang is attractive to tourists because of its uniqueness, heritage and it is a cultural city with multi- racial ethnic population. Lack of knowledge and experience, combined with different interest may cause the tourism industry collapse. Cultural Traits and Heritage tourism is discussed as Penang’s opportunity to create tourism platform where resources and market would be kept and at the same time, competition with other World Heritage Cities will be created. Cultural Traits and Heritage recently has become an important topic and concept to tourism development especially in Penang since Penang was awarded as the World Heritage City by UNSECO in July 2008. Hence, in this research, it proposes the links of self representation to current desired outcomes of Penang’s distinctiveness and sustainability of Penang UNESCO award. At the same time, the model also tests how these outcomes influence the destination ability to meet tourists’ expectations and how Penang should act in competing in the global heritage tourism industry.
