i suggest Chulia Street. Then can grab a beer and join the bag packers xD

You can also take them to try the Penang Pork Satay with the potato sauce at Pulau Tikus Market at night. Order the toasted bread as well. On the whole of Penang I think there are only 3 places selling this old traditional Chinese stuff. Try it before these old seller die out.
Oh, if your friends are brave enough, you can order Pork Intestine Satay also.

i don't think batu ferringhi have delicious food except those hotel.

Batu Ferringghi don't have any nice hawker, 3 choices over there.Lunch time, Opposite Floating Mosque Famous Malay Food, Seafood, or Restaurants.

German Restaurant Ingolf is good. Seafood there's a few seafood restaurant there, 1 of them i recommend SunShine Seafood, right before you reach floating mosque. They're famous for Wrench Crab. Another one is further all the way up after you reach butterfly farm turn 9 o Clock, that place is famous for Deep Sea Crab.

Bro, SunShine Seafood is in Tanjung Bungah. Located in Kedai Kopi Sin Eng Huat just right beside the traffic light junction. It is an old wooden traditional kopitiam.
They are famous for stir Fried Yellow noodles with small local oyster. IF you dun like the local oyster you can also have it fried with crab. I like the fried fish in thick black bean sauce with spring onion and garlic in a claypot. Ask for their other specialty also.
Do go there early before 6pm or else very long queue!

Thanks for correcting, always messed up wtih BT Ferringhi and Tanjung Bunga, cause it's just so close to each other..
The Kappa Glass Noodles was good too Alot of good food there.. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

Haha, I'm local from the mainland side la. Been going to Batu Lanchang Market for many years. Thought local islander can suggest other good hawker food that opens for lunch.

As for New World Park, the food so so nia. If I am in the island late morning, I'd drop by Chowrasta market, plenty of nice food there too. And of course, if it's late evening or night, no problem la, hawker food is every where..

Added on July 8, 2010, 8:21 pmYou asked about places to eat near Sri Sayang.. For my friends (KL/Singapore) that choose to stay at Batu Ferringhi, I would normally bring them to the Batu Ferringhi night market stretch. I find the place nearer to go to rather than heading back to town.

One popular food court there is called "Palm Beach". Many hawker stalls there, though the price is higher than the food in town, the food is ok. The Hainanese Poh Piah there is a must try. After makan, can jalan jalan at the night market. And later go to Hard Rock.

wanted to book hard rock hotel on 24th july n its fully booked..
the entire hotel! Reserved for some convention.
Sigh my bad for not booking earlier..

Penang got so much food varieties, some street food, some restaurant, some kueh, some heavy meal, some halal others non-halal, but I dunno got Top 8 food? What means Top 8 Food in Penang? Got such thing ah?

Try bayview resort, jz next to hardrock hotel..

for me, i think in penang any place no matter hawker or food court all the food is nice or at least much better than in KL/PJ..

nothing to shout abt. Opp is adventist hospital. Below the hotel is shopping.
