Best Places To Eat In Penang

Notably the best hawker food in the world, Penang serves up the most tasty street snacks, desserts, noodles in the not-so upscale ambience. Must-try dishes are the Penang Laksa, Mee Jawa, Curry Mee, Chendol, Penang Char Kuay Teow, Coconut tart and Durian-kopi

It seems like you need to queue for everything that is delicious in Penang. And queues usually last as long as 30 minutes if you're not barging in on quality. This famous curry mee stall only opens in the morning and usually sold out by noon (that's a common story for most famous stall). If you haven't heard of the rising trend in mee kuali, you probably wouldn't know how famous curry mee is in Penang, and to be the best, there's only one. If you're blessed enough, you could get the whole mackerel version that is fresh from the morning market. Otherwise it also tastes good with pork ribs.

We waited 30-minutes for this delight. Each plate comes with generous serving of large prawn if you request for it. 3 large prawns to be exact. Be sure to order from the old lady (only). Drink at this eatery is not cheap. Coconut going for 5.50 Ringgit. #penang #charkwayteow #prawn #food #georgetown #henghuat

Probably less than 2 Ringgit a bowl, this delicious bowl of coconut dessert is to-die-for in the hot weather of Penang. Take note there's 2 stalls along this street, just follow the one with the longer queue and you won't go wrong.

You haven't been to Penang if you haven't tried Air Itam's Penang Laksa. Check out the 50 years of time on their special cauldron.
