PENANG MALAYSIA STREET FOOD

The charming island city of Penang, Malaysia is famous for street food, or "hawker fare." The Definitive Penang Food Guide is a useful traveler's reference for the best local eateries. Unfortunately descriptions of the dishes are not given, so it helps if you are familiar with terms like cendol, char kaoy teow, and ice kanang. Some pictures are provided, including hokkien mee, a noodle dish, and laksa, one of the more famous Malaysian dishes. Pseudo-western food can also be found, a result of British influence. After one visit here you will be able to mingle with the Penangites, satisfied that you have eaten the best.
