Was away for a road trip from Penang to KL to SG, and back to Penang ;)
I know that everyone is excited to know what food is a must-eat in Penang itself. But honestly speaking, almost every stall you go to, the food quality and standard is there. So, I shall do some recommendations on which are the hawkers you should visit!!
For those who have been to Penang, would already have tried the hawker along Gurney Drive (Anjung Gurney Hawker). That is the touristy hawker place in Penang.
Here are some Penang Hawker place which I can strongly recommend :)
1) Northem Beach Cafe.
Address: 58 Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, George Town, Penang (*Opposite The Northem Hotel)
Opening Hours: 6pm to 11pm (Closed on Tuesdays)
The variety of food there, a lot. From local cuisines to international ones. There is a great sea view and live performance during weekend nights!
What is a must-eat there??
-Belachan-fried chicken (*Don't worry, is non-spicy)
-Chicken Chop
-Penang Prawn mee
-BBQ chicken wings
-Satay (comes in Pork, Chicken, Mutton)
-Handmade Peanut candies
2) Viva Food Centre
Address: Lot 303, Jalan Tanjung Tokong, Tanjung Tokong, Penang.
Opening hours: 6pm to 11pm
The variety is not as much as the one in Northem or Anjung Gurney, but the Salmon Sashimi there is worth mentioning!!!
*Look at the thickness!!*
This thickness will get you crazy!! RM10 for 5 pieces of these chunks!! *Slurp*
What is a must-eat there??
-Salmon Sashimi
-Penang Prawn Mee
-Frog Porridge
3) Anjung Gurney
Address: Persiaran Gurney, Georgetown, 10250 Pulau Pinang.
Opening hours: 6pm to 11pm
The best located food centre you can find in Pulau Penang. Which also comes with big varieties. Everything you can think of will most probably be selling there. It is like a Shih Lin Night market, Taipei. As I've mentioned before, this is the food centre most tourists will definitely go to (next to Gurney Plaza).
Do make sure that you'll be there by 7pm. Because the crowd during weekends or school holidays can be quite scary. Unless you don't mind waiting and looking for a table. Please be aware that some of the tables a belonged to certain stores customers only (it's really competitive). There are different stores selling the same kind of food in Anjung Gurney. The food quality wise, is good! For my muslim friends, there are also another section from the hawker stalls selling muslim food :)
What is the must-eat there??
-Wanton mee (Meat Dumplings with Roasted pork served with egg noodles)
-Char kway Teow (Stir-fried flat noodles with prawns & eggs)
-Fruit Rojak (Malaysian fruit salads with a special dressing)
-Lok-Lok (assorted skewers)
-Muah-chee
-Penang Laksa
