Enjoy yourself a bowl of Penang famous Cendol is a must after some mouthwatering dishes. Upon reaching Penang Road, you will spot an enthusiastic crowd queuing patiently to taste the legendary Teochew Cendol. A bowl of Cendol comes with green rice flour jelly, coconut milk, and palm sugar syrup. You can also opt for Ais Kacang here. Nothing like enjoying a bowl of cooling Teochew on a sunny day.

Cecil Street Market (七条路巴刹) is no stranger to Penangites. Aside from getting fresh produce, there is plenty of street food under one roof. Ask the locals and they’ll recommend you the Pasembur and Roasted Pork for a pleasurable food trip in Penang. Personally, we’d recommend the Curry Mee and Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng.

If deep-fried Malaysian food is your thing, then you’ll enjoy lor bak. It’s a Hokkien/Teochew dish consisting of various meats, seafood, tofu, and vegetables.
They’re seasoned with five-spice powder and rolled in a thin beancurd skin before being deep-fried and served with chili sauce and loh, which is a sweet sauce thickened with corn starch and beaten eggs.
Khen Pin Cafe has been cited by leading Singapore and Penang food blogs as having some of the best lor bak in Penang.

As suggested at the top of this article, if a Penang street food stall’s legendary status were to be measured solely by its longevity, then the Sister Curry Mee stall located at the foothills of Kek Lok Si Temple deserves to be in the hall of fame.
The two sisters hawking these tasty bowls of curry mee have been doing so at this very spot since 1946. Non-halal

As described, this bowl of fish ball noodle soup from Pitt Street Koay Teow Th’ng was one of our favorite dishes in Penang. It was also the most surprising because I didn’t expect it to be this good.
Koay teow th’ng is a dish made with flat rice noodles served in a clear soup broth. It’s topped with fish balls, pork slices, chicken, browned garlic bits, and chopped scallions. It’s usually served with a side of soy-vinegar with chopped red chilies.

Check out this apom-manis-making auntie churning out crepe after crepe after crepe. Watching her lift the lids off the woks to check on the apom manis was like watching a street hustler play the shell game, except under every cup was a winner!
The famous Penang street food stall I read about on Kuching Road was too far to walk so we tried it at this night hawker stand on Chulia Street instead.
