Esplanade Seaside @ George Town Penang

 After walking in George town for the whole day , we decided to go to the seaside to look and the view and take some fresh air . Here we accidentally  discover this place pack with people and many hawker stall . So we take a sit to rest. I rate here 7/ 10 stars. Must go .!!!!

 Lovely view to see sunset as the wind breezing your face to cool down after a hot day .

 Penang popiah , really special because they use crab meat inside and the source is like prawn base . It tasted so good until i just have to order more.

 The Esplanade of Penang refers to the waterfront area on the northern coast of George Town facing Light Street. It is the sight of Francis Light's Landing in Penang in 1786. It was also the first area on the island cleared by Light.

In keeping with the format of British civic areas, the Esplanade area has a parade, similar to the Padang in Singapore and the Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur. The parade ground is today known as Padang Kota Lama, or "old fort field", in reference to Fort Cornwallis. Indeed, the whole Esplanade area is also known as Padang Kota Lama, after the field.

Within Padang Kota Lama itself are several sights, such as the Millennium Monument and Speakers' Square. Most of the trees around the field were planted by visiting dignitaries, such as Emperor Akihito, then Crown Prince Akihito. Between Fort Cornwallis and the parade field is a city park called Taman Kota Lama.

Some of the structures on the field have long gone. Among them, there was the Municipal Band Stand where Speaker's Square is located today. In proximity to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Building across Light Street was the Vermont Monument, now also just a memory.

On either sides of Padang Kota Lama were the clubhouses of the Penang Sports Club, then located at Esplanade itself, and the Penang Recreation Club. They were destroyed during the Second World War.

Esplanade is today bordered by Light Street to the south, and Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah on three sides. Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah comprises Fort Road, which runs on the east side of Fort Cornwallis until Fort Point, and The Esplanade, the waterfront section from Fort Point to the Cenotaph.
