Four days is ideal for a food-focused trip: day 1 George Town murals + coffee, day 2 hawker crawl (New Lane, Kimberley), day 3 Kek Lok Si + Air Itam assam laksa, day 4 Batu Ferringhi or cafe hop + repeat favourites. Three nights minimum — two nights from Singapore works but you'll eat stressed. Add a fifth day if you want Penang Hill or Balik Pulau durian run without rushing.

3 nights minimum if food is the point. 2 nights = rush + regret. We extended after day 1.

Weekend warriors from SG do 2 nights constantly — doable but you eat stressed. Add a day for Penang Hill if weather good.
