Thanks folks for all the suggestions. How about some islands or towns in Malaysia where I can just eat and shop, eat and shop? ;)

Hi, Malacca is a nice 4 hours drive away .. with great food and people. Nostalgic shopping at jonker street should bring back some fond childhood memories. Don't miss the very affordable street food, desert and Peranakan dishes.
If relaxation is key, Redang is recommended.
Cheers ...

Have a go at Tioman and Tinggi as suggested. island resorts where you laze on the beach and fish. Towns in Malaysia, try Kuantan, Ipoh and Malacca. I do enjoy the drive to these places and just staying and eating locally. Shopping wise, local produces are what is good to buy. Shopping centres may not be like JB or KL style.

The best island in Malaysia or even the world is definitely Pulau Sipadan, Semporna, Sabah. Try travel around Sabah, no big malls, but definitely a nice experience guaranteed ;)

hey, thanks for having a interest in Malaysia,
firstly, are you local?
if you are, whereabouts are you at?
if you dont inform us where in Malaysia are you or you gonna be, how to sugest to you where to go for a short trip?
right?
Malaysia have as lot of island resort, no matter on the east or west coast of the peninsular or in east Malaysia.
What i suggest is maybe pop into one of the more historical towns, these towns will provide you with eco-tourism, heritage, scenic views and best of all great food. These places tend to have cheaper rates compared to more established tourism towns like Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.
Try places like Melacca, Taiping, Lumut/Sitiawan, Camerons and so on....

Pagarang Island in Malaysia is good for seafood, specialty baby lobster baked with butter or simply steam them with spring onion. Shopping is best at Kualar Lumpur.

Penang island is the perfect choice, combination of an island and a town, great for more than eating and shopping

Why not trying Damai Resort at Kuching? It's very different from other beach resort. And within 15mins walking distance, there's the famous Culture Village. And also there's the famous Semenggoh Orang Utan Centre, where you can have closet contact with orang utan.
If you happen to go to Kuching, don't forget to taste the famous kolo mee, Rei Cha (the famouse hakka dishes) and their 3 layers tea (i heard now they have improved it to 5 layers)!!!!
