I’m trying to compile a list of Penang Food as almost every other week we have people asking for places as to where to eat in Penang. Keeping track of the Penang Thread is difficult cos it is 62 pages and 1200++ post!

Please note
A. this thread is about places to eat in Penang and not where to stay or sight-seeing.
B. the list is not 100% accurate as such I’ll need your help in keeping it relevant and up-to-date. So feedbacks & comments are most welcome and also do remember TASTE is very personal hor.. 
(Inspired by Stimix and PCYEOH of USJ Forum )
