3 Must Eat Foods in Penang

Penang food is world famous, but what to eat when in Penang?

In Penang, hawker food is as delicious as the finest gourmet experience in any city. Many Malaysians hold Penang as the top food destination in the region, not because of some fancy restaurants but rather for their humble road-side eateries and stalls that line the streets. Today I'm going to introduce the top 3 must eat food in Penang.

• Siam Road Charcoal Char Kuey Teow

The new place, now known as Siam Road Char Kuey Teow, is located opposite the previous spot where Uncle Tan used to wok his magic, serving his femes Char Kuey Teow to the endless line of customers.

Look at the queue! It took me 2 hours queue.. but this char kuey teow is really worth waiting!

The seasoning and spice levels are just right. Moreover, each crispy cube of pork lard added layer after layer of flavours to the dish. This is one of the best, or perhaps, the best plate of char kway teow in Penang!

Operating hours: TUE - SAT 12PM - 7PM
Address: 82, Jalan Siam, George Town, 10400 George Town, Pulau Pinang

• Penang Air Itam Laksa

This popular stall at Jalan Pasar next to the Air Itam market, at the foot of a main tourist attraction Kek Lok Si Temple will be the place to try it. He has a chain of staff helping with assembling the other key ingredients of cucumber, onions, red chillies, pineapple, lettuce, mint and ginger.

The soup is thick with balanced taste of sweet, sour and spicy, added with lingering touch of the prawn paste. It’s a small bowl, but satisfying, and some may want seconds.

Opening Hours: 11:30am – 8pm Daily
Address: Jalan Pasar Road, 11500 Air Itam, (Beside the Air Itam Market)
Penang, Malaysia.

• Chew Jetty Big Bowl Noodles

It’s either you come hungry or come in size. Chew Jetty Big Bowl Noodles is no mean feat. As its name suggests, expect to be served in bowls bigger than your head and to dig into a bountiful load of ingredients.

Look at the bowl.. it's for 2-5 pax for the biggest bowl.

 Look how crowded and these people are queueing for this big bowl noodle.

 Their environment is comfort and also have an air conditioner inside.

We ordered special spicy seafood noodle, and creamy spicy beef noodle soup, these is just the normal size (1pax), look how big it is.

Operating hours: 10am - 8pm Daily
Addres: 62, Pengkalan Weld, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
