Guys, if no have roads name or shop name very hard for people out of Penang state to find these places that you mention.

Tanjung tokong , Sea Pearl Restaurant - so famous for their crab and prawn. Fried Bee hoon is so home cooked style. Oh Chien is damn nice there..

Lorong Mount Eskrine - Curry mee by the road 1.. Their chillie.. >< Beh tahan ! ! ! even thou only open for breakfast.

never been to penang b4, but a few friends are making a trip there next month ...

just like to know if anyone has any recommendations for first timers in penang where good food is concerned?

ie. places to go to ... not jus for tourists, but where locals eat etc.

thanks!

to be honest, try hawker area in pulau tikus market at night
lok lok, duck egg char koay teow & siam laksa is good there

off burma road, swatow lane hawker centre. New World Park, ice kacang is nice, cucur udang, tomyam noodle, curry mee, is good. other food there is pretty decent

good food is scatter around not centralize

Is it called Tai Tong ?? LINK

Penang seafood ok nia.
KL seafood got better chef & of course better price. Many times, people come to Penang for the hawker food rather than seafood.

Bukit Mertajam...

Yes, dim sum in Penang not as good as those in Ipoh or KL

Vegetarians ???

Places for Vegetarians? have but wat kind of Vegetarians? can take eggs & milk type or...?

transfer road roti canai

DarkNite...yeap...Eggs + Milk + Butter + Cheese...allowed Penang has so many Veg restaurants...must share here...to make it all complete

I dun mind put up a list as a convenient for vegans but most people dun travel to Penang just particularly for Vegy.

Thats true also

So, I heard / read that there are 'territorial' areas at hawker centre / street food whereby you can order food from specific food from selected stalls. Is that true? Does it happen to all hawker centers?

broz and sisz,

can any1 please tell me where haf the hawker center next to b'suite has moved to?

i can take off my mind on the tuna apong, fried har mee and pan mee... OMG... plz help...

Not all, but it does help if you asked 1st before ordering.

Maxim Dim Sum makes pretty good Dim Sum, they are in Sungai Dua, Bangunan Lip Sin. If I'm not wrong they are a branch of Max Gourmet opposite Queensbay?

For Mee Goreng, I personally think that the one in Pulau Tikus market tastes better, it's in a kopitiam but I don't know the name, it's very near to the Jalan Bangkok one, just opposite it (one road away). I've heard the one near Fort Cornwallis/beside Esplanade tastes pretty damn good too but I never had the chance to try.

Gurney Drive Wan Tan Mee worths mentioning too, they're special as they're spicy (麻辣/ma lat)
