I was in Penang last year before Christmas and visited some of those fabled street hawkers emporiums. The food was fantastic but what stayed on my mind is kindness of the people of Penang. At one of the hawker centers, I left my expensive camera in the bathroom. When I realized I had left it, I went back to retrieve it but it was gone. Our waiter, an elderly gentleman, heard me telling my driver that I had left the camera in the bathroom. He took it upon himself to find it and presented me with my “lost” camera before we left! My precious pictures of Penang were saved! And I left with a very warm feeling for the people of Penang. Sometimes, it really is the small things that stays in your mind!

Dear KL resident commenter with IP 60.50.34.242: hawker food stalls in Penang are generally better than those outside of Penang! It’s a fact and that’s why people from all over Malaysia and overseas come to Penang for the delicious hawker food. Take for example the simple kuey teow fish balls soup in Penang vs. KL’s version, the difference in taste and texture are pretty pronounced. As a Malaysian, which I hope you are, you should be proud that Penang has great hawker food that is world famous. Where is your 1Malaysia spirit?

its very obvious you are biased. penang may have a lot of street stalls, how sure are you they are all tasty? there are some that tastes like shit and yet so many people like them. and you know why? they have never been out of penang island before.

Great stuff. I tell you, Penang street food never ceases to amaze me.
On a whole different level. And this coming from an Ipoh boy. :)

Hi! I’m Idah. I’m from the Philippines but am currently studying in USM. My research topic is actually on food tourism here in Penang. I was wondering, has anyone availed of the food tour you offer in this website, and if so, how are the feedbacks? Hoping to hear from you! :)
