Send Flowers to Butterworth, Malaysia

Butterworth is the main town on the mainland side of Penang, the part of the state called Seberang Perai. For generations travellers have passed through it to catch the ferry across the channel to George Town, and the Penang Sentral transport hub now joins the ferry, trains and buses in one place.

Unlike the tourist island, Butterworth is an everyday working town, with the port, the industrial estates of Perai and Mak Mandin, and an air force base that has long hosted Australian personnel. Families live in neighbourhoods such as Bagan Ajam, Bagan Luar and along Jalan Raja Uda, a street well known for food. The Chinese community holds a large Nine Emperor Gods festival each year, and Hindu and Malay celebrations are equally visible.

To send flowers to Butterworth, make sure the address says mainland Penang, since postcodes differ from the island. Florists in Malaysia deliver next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight local time. There is no Sunday delivery.
