Hi all,

We're going to Penang for 1st time nxt month but can only stay for 2 days, then continue to Sabah.

We'll be staying at Hotel Penaga, jalan Hutton.

I have been researching hawker food as I know Penang is famous for this.

So this is our list:

Hokkien Mee (Prawn noodle) -> a street stall in Air Itam, corner of Jalan Air Itam and Jalan Kampung Melayu. Or should I go somewhere else ? I love Penang Hokkien Mee (Har Mee) and so happy that I'll get to taste the real Penang Har Mee soon ;-)

Char Kway Teow -> Ah Leng, Corner of Jalan Dato Kramat and Dunlop Rd.

Penang Laksa -> Taman Emas Kopitiam, opposite Penang Chinese Girl School.

Nasi Kandar -> Line Clear, in Penang Road. BTW do they really open 24 hours ? YES

Curry Mee -> Tua Pui, in Pengkalan Weld (across from Clan Jetty)

BBQ chickenwings & Seafood -> Song River, pesiaran Gurney, at night (but from what time?). 6pm

I read about Chee Cheong Fun and wanton mee... but where should I go for these as I found so many recommended (different) stalls ?

Are stalls in New Lane worth going to ?

Would appreciate your suggestion/comment.. thanks!

Since you are staying at Hotel Penaga, jalan Hutton. You can take an early morning stroll to 1Corner Kopitiam, Jln Bawasah, behind Penang Plaza.
Please reach there before 9.30am, to avoid disappointment.

I suppose so for the tourist with limited time but to me they are expensive.
Most food there ok.  Normal drink expensive better buy Can drinks.

Char Kway Teow -> Ah Leng, Corner of Jalan Dato Kramat and Dunlop Rd. <----good, love it

Penang Laksa -> Taman Emas Kopitiam, opposite Penang Chinese Girl School.

Nasi Kandar -> Line Clear, in Penang Road. BTW do they really open 24 hours ?

Curry Mee -> Tua Pui, in Pengkalan Weld (across from Clan Jetty) <----just to tell you, it's located beside a busy road, and some people might complain about hygiene due to it. you can go early at around 9am++ to avoid that, or if you don't mind, you can go around 3pm and eat the "ai yu bing" beside the stall. Then maybe can go and buy fried banana and potato and others opposite tua bui

BBQ chickenwings & Seafood -> Song River, pesiaran Gurney, at night (but from what time?). <----never like song river. If you want seafood in grill , maybe can try the East Coast BBQ at Sungai Pinang food court THIS

I read about Chee Cheong Fun and wanton mee... but where should I go for these as I found so many recommended (different) stalls ? <----for chee cheong fun i personally find that Seow Fong Lye Cofee Shop Chee Cheong Fun is good

What other food courts / street hawkers which are recommended besides the overrated Gurney Drive?

most should have know a bit it...but let me repost them

To those in the know, Penang is one of the world's top dining destinations. And street food--or hawker food, as it's locally known--is the city's big draw. Penang hawker food reflects the multicultural makeup of the town itself, which boasts citizens of Chinese, Malay and Indian descent. You'll also find a distinct Nyonya cuisine in Penang, the fusion food that has resulted from the intermarriage of Chinese and Malay immigrants

got google map n location from the links inside

Of all the places! Gurney drive ice kacang!

its not bad wat. not the best, but not bad.

Quite right it is ok but on a world wide web, the very least they should recommend one of the best Penang have to offer.
And Penang have so many spots with very good ice kacang.

tak pa, can try the pasembur, see can hit RM100 bo

Hi, may i know the pulau tikus market food court re-open de? I saw a blog post stated that it is under renovation. please advise. TQ

It is already open, one that is inside the market but it operates only in the morning up to 11am.

The night time hawker stalls in front of the market is from 6pm to 11pm.
