I would personally recommend sea pearl lagoon cafe for crabs (fresh and affordable), place is a bit tedious to find but do ask along as you go by, those seafood eateries at gurney are at tourist-price (cut throat), no, i am not saying they are bad or so, just that we can find something cheaper but above par or at least, on par with the quality.

I've found a review here:

I visited Penang last year May and I was introduced by my local friend with some nice food, MUST TRY!

1. Kedai Kopi Goh Chew
Location: https://foursquare.com/v/%E4%BA%94%E6%B4%B2...4cde9e42f8665ea



Fried Mee Hoon with Fish Fillet (Come early for short queue and availability)


2. Mohd Raffe Restaurant (Mamak)
Location: https://foursquare.com/v/mohd-raffe-restaur...964a5205fbd2fe3

Roti Hong Kong (not to say very tasty but it is special if you can finish it)


3. Ang Seng Heong (Traditional Hand-Made Candy)
Location: https://foursquare.com/v/ang-seng-heong-ent...0fbf26798bc4b87



4. Bukit Genting Hill (Thai Food with nice deco and beautiful sunset)

Taste so so nia. I prefer the roast duck rice at the same food court

Tried Chin's fine dining and quite like it though expensive. The deep fried duck with chili padi is something new after years of eating peking duck. The cod fish + prawn + raw egg (mix and cook in a hot pot) is also nice but again pricey. For starter the cucumber with garlic is also gooding.

Also tried line clear nasi kandar - lost my appetite when i line up and seeing how they cook, dirty, expensive, crowded and most importantly - taste like just another nasi kandar.

anyone can recommend where to eat hokkien char? the penang style..

What is Penang style Hokkien Char?
do you mean the one with yellow noddle and bee hoon without the thick black sauce?

thats the one...

Can't quote you since board limit the number of images per post.
Thanks for sharing luvfeelin

I like fried oysters, it is very expensive in gurney. Can anyone recommend elsewhere ?

You can get some nice ones at the following places:

1) the cafe right beside 888 hokkien mee at Lebuh Presgrave
2) the hawker center right opposite to Penang Chinese Girl School
3) the corner cafe at Reservoir Garden, Air Itam, check out their fried tofu too

Hope this helps

mee sotong is a must if you go Penang! http://sirburpsalot.blogspot.com/2013/09/h...iery-treat.html

for roti canai, i would recommend the warung at LORONG SUSU.
to me it tastes much much better than the one at transfer road

went there on saturday morning, then on sunday morning pegi lagi tak bukak pulak

Hello everyone. Do Penang have any famous restaurant? that day i went to The mugshop and Pik Nik..all vry nice and the interior special as well....

Thread merged & pls refer pg 1

alright! tq

Any good food court that could cover almost every local food at night? Average standard to be ok ok lah at least although incomparable to the individual local delicacies cause will only be spending a night there so no time to cover every must-try local food.

Just moved to Penang from KL due to being assigned by company to here.

Any good places for food?

Staying nearby times square area

I'm eager to try out some cafes at those refurbished heritage places
