These migrants brought with them precious pieces of their lives, symbols of identity and pride. Cultural amalgamation was inevitable and Penang became a melting pot of languages, religions, traditions and cuisines.

Penang is simply synonymous with heritage. A spirit of nostalgia roams the centuries-old buildings, faded photographs and antiquities.
Together, they embody a legacy so stirring, it tugs at the heartstrings of even the most unacquainted meanderer.

Penang Passion, a publisher from Penang, draws inspirations from the colours and flavours of Penang and hopes to bring the rich tapestry of Penang's legacy closer to those who have an eye for the charming nostalgic days.
