If you find yourself in Penang, the name 'Air Itam Sister Curry Mee' is sure to capture your attention. This renowned dish can be found at Keat Seng Restoran, a collection of open-air hawker stalls. The unique Koay Teow Thng, featuring flat rice noodles with fish balls and fish cakes in a flavorful chicken stock soup, is a must-try for locals and tourists alike.
Just outside this church, you’ll find a little lane (be careful crossing the road) with curry Mee, chee cheong fun and char kway teow. So good! The curry mee is thin but flavorful, not much coconut milk taste. The CCF is chewy and tasty with the peanut sauce. The CKT has that wok-aroma and very well done. Would not miss this place when in Penang.

Located beside the main air itam market street. Came here for breakfast. Didn’t see the both sister here, but only a young lady preparing the curry mee. The curry mee more towards sweet side. Cost rm8 per bowl. Able to seat anywhere opposite cafe.

Air Itam Sister Curry Mee is a true Penang classic, now run by the 3rd generation. The stall is very simple, but the taste is easily one of the best curry mee I’ve had. The broth is light and fragrant, and while the toppings are kept basic - just tauhu, taugeh, and their signature sambal , it’s packed with flavor. Each bowl costs only RM6.50, which is very cheap for such an iconic dish. Service was fast too, as I got mine within 5 minutes. You can also order and dine in at the coffee shop right opposite the stall for a more comfortable experience. They usually sell out by 11am, so it’s best to go early. I had mine on a rainy day, and that hot, flavorful bowl was just chef’s kiss , pure comfort food. A humble, authentic dish that you shouldn’t miss when in Penang.

Hmm. I wasn't really impressed. And it's not due to the dining environment. I don't judge the surrounding as this is a roadside stall. It's very local actually and gives you the real penang roadside experience rather than the sterile generic look that new cafes exude. As for the curry, it comes white with separate chili for you to add as per your personal choice. I just warn you, it's spicy. Be careful how much you add. I found it a little watery though. And most importantly even though I added quite a lot of spice, the balance was off. The spicy was excessive when compared to the other flavour that was supposed to balance it out. Fortunately the noodle was deliciously chewy. There's the usual expected blood jelly, taugeh and tau pok. The sotong was more than usual. But strangely there were no cockles and long beans which i thought was standard in curry mee. Parking here is a big issue and I gotta say, each diner has got to make the decision on whether it's worth it to fight for a parking space to come here to eat.

The curry paste is very special and tasty, the essence of the soup ! The tiny stall located at a small lane . It’s on the left hand side of the small lane , next to the chicken rice stall. Hard to get parking here.

If you like clear soup very mild taste of curry mee soup base and if you don’t take clam, this is for you, you may try out. Michelin 2024. But actually I feel quite disappointed. Not as expected. But maybe this is very good for them who grown up with this :)
Law M — Google review
Their curry mee was great. The soup broth was flavourful and spicy. Personally I prefer it to be more coconut but that is just my preference. The toppings are nothing to brag about and decent. You do not sit at where they sell the noodle, you are to sit opposite the shop itself. Price was reasonable for what it is. You should try this famous store.

2 Sisters Curry Mee Located in the midst of a morning pasar malam market. 2 Sisters Curry mee stall is a simple setup with no frills. The dish itself is also a simple one with pork blood, few pcs of Cuttlefish and taupok. We ordered the mix beehoon/mee. Heard a lot about it but I was rather disappointed. The chilli offered had a raw taste and super spicy, which we didn't know. In any case, the Curry mee didn't quite measure up. The taste didn't quite come out for some reason. Maybe it's just my own taste expectations. But many stalls of the same thg we have tried was about the same or better. That said, they still have a steady stream of locals coming up to order non-stop. Their flavour may be adapted to the locals. If you are around the Ayer Itam area,  no harm coming to give it a shot.  The buzz is this vicinity itself is quite a sight.  Do take note that on a weekend morning,  parking can be rather stressful, that is if you are driving

Air Itam Market Duck Rice is a popular dish in Penang, Malaysia. The duck rice is known for its good, sweet, and slightly watery flavor when paired with white rice. The addition of celery enhances the overall taste. Unlike traditional roasted duck, this version does not have skin and offers a slight salty taste of soy sauce without the use of MSG. Visitors to Air Itam Market can enjoy this unique culinary experience while exploring the city's vibrant atmosphere and diverse attractions.
Great stop for the famous duck rice. Found this recommendation on the Michelin Guide and it did not disappoint. The chef cooked us up a mixed plate with braised duck, pork, tofu and egg, would highly recommend!
Rebecca S — Google review
Been famous for it's duck rice, which it's duck meat is cooked well and render, just a little salty. Doesn't like the arrogant attitude of the 2nd generation owner which reluctantly answered all my questions asked. The surroundings would also need some cleanup and better hygiene for dining as Michelin Gourmet Bib winner.
Jarrod C — Google review
You are most likely familiar with roasted duck rice. This is NOT roasted duck. This is braised duck. If you are imagining crispy skin, oily juicy meat, then you are in the wrong place. Eating braised duck is a whole different taste experience and unless you have eaten braised duck before, you will need to reset your taste and flavour expectation. You can order only duck or add on pork, egg and pig intestine to increase your dining experience. In my case I only chose the duck and egg as it was my first time and I wanted to taste their signature dish. I was partially disappointed with the cool rice. But I must say that the meat is unique. It's tender but doesn't have the juicy oily taste that you associate with roasted duck. However, it's chewy, soft and has the unmistakable soy and herb / spice used to braise it. When eaten with the fried garlic and cilantro, drizzled sambal, I think it's a delicious flavour combination that will surprise you. I may be wrong but some reviewers are disappointed because they are comparing it with roasted duck. Braised meat flavour is a whole different ballgame. I suggest you try and not be discouraged by some of the reviews. As for the dining environment, well, it's coffee shop and hawker stalls so I think you know what kind of environment you will be eating at. Haha.

After wandering around Kek Lok Si Temple and the nearby pagoda, we treated ourselves to the famous Air Itam Duck Rice - and it did not disappoint! 😋 Featured in the Michelin Guide, this humble street-side spot is known for its tender braised duck, flavorful soy-based gravy, and perfectly paired rice. I’m so glad we made the stop - it's the kind of comforting local dish that hits the spot after a long day of exploring. A true Penang gem! 🌟🇲🇾

Found this famous and nice duck rice while resting in the food court. Need to queue a little bit as the stall was just opened. Duck rice yummy 😋 and chilli was spicy too.
Chee — Google review
One of the best braised duck meat 🍖 in town. It's located opposite the air itam market. You won't be able to miss it as this food market is at the junction of the road. Long queue (depends on what time), the service is quite fast. You just have to say how many people are eating... which dish you would like. It's RM11 per person for the duck meat with rice. I added the preserved vegetables (mui Choi): RM5. Really worth trying..
Fanny T — Google review
Simple hawker selling duck rice. Everything is straightforward, the price stated clearly and the service was all fast. Environment was not very comfortable to eat, but overall it was a decent experience. Might go again for take aways. Btw, price as per Apr 2023 has now increased to RM7.50 per plate. We got a platter for 2 person and added eggs, total about RM24.

Penang's Air Itam Laksa stall is a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Located near Ayer Itam's wet market, this famous spot offers delicious assam laksa that will tantalize your taste buds. Additionally, you can savor tender roast pork and crackling at Ah Joo's hawker stand nearby. For those craving spicy Thai cuisine, Tree Monkey inside the Tropical Spice Garden is a great option.
Delicious and authentic Penang Laksa. Bowl is on the savoury/salty side! Very fragrant and savoury prawn paste flavour in the soup, good mix of herbs, spices, and fish, good texture from the noodles. Good pairing with sugarcane juice from the stall beside this!
T. W — Google review
This is the famous laksa. The one that everyone will tell you to try. Since they are open only on the weekends, you will need to plan your trip accordingly if you want to try this laksa. Compared to other laksas, you will find that this laksa is a bit thicker, fish pieces are a bit more generous, the taste is a lot heavier. If you like your laksa to have a light flavour profile, this is probably not for you. I, however enjoyed the heavy mix of salt, sour and fish flavours. Nostalgically, pre mco, the taste was even heavier and the fish was also more generous. Naturally your will also need hei ko (sweet thick dark pungent) sauce in it. This will add another layer of taste complexity to the soup. You should be able to ask for more if the amount they give you in the beginning is not enough. As usual laksa will have some greens and most importantly ginger flower. I thought there used to be more previously but I guess shrinkflation is normal nowadays. I personally find the flavour combination of everything they add into the bowl syncs well and you end up with a bowl of delicious laksa. It's definitely one of the best you can get in penang. The only downside is the difficult parking and the slightly uncomfortable hot humid sidewalk atmosphere you eat in but that's part of the charm I would suppose.

The Asam Laksa is among the exceptional ones in Penang. Service is better than I thought as they are positively welcoming your order in nice way. Much better than the older days when they are just rude. Though 2 stars for atmosphere, nothing to compliant about as it is real street food.

The original famous laksa place is closed. We went to the 2828 place instead. Had the Penang Laska, chendol and spring roll. The laksa is done well, the broth is rich and tasty. We enjoyed the chendol and spring roll too. There air con in the shop, a big relief during this hot weather

Purposely come and so so disappointed with the laksa. First look ok but actually no taste at all, soup very diluted. Both of us cannot even get ourselves to finish the bowl. I can say worst laksa that I’ve eaten so far. Definitely won’t come back. The opposite food court laksa is much much better.
Melanie C — Google review
Still among the best Assam Laksa around. We came back here after trying a Michelin rated one and this one is still much better. Maybe those french tyre fellas were taken in by the deco and friendly staff at the other place.

Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu is a popular eatery located in the low-cost flat row of Kampung Melayu. Operating since 1970, it serves up to 700 to 1000 plates daily. The highlight here is the curry gravy made with plenty of ground onions and spices.
For authentic Nasi Kandar, look no further! In my opinion, this is the best in Penang. With a wide array of delicious dishes and friendly staff who provide excellent service, this is a must-try.

The food was good of course each place would have their own specialty unique taste. For this place what i appreciate is their warm hot food. It is prepared not from the morning. Their curry paste specially fish head is yummy and their fried chicken was juicy i had their wings and breast part and still it was juicy not dry so that was pleasent.

This restaurant is the best for me for Nasi Kandar in Penang , all the spices and main dish was really suit me . Not over powered spices and the gravy taste was really just right . I really enjoyed it but only to find parking is quite hard . I went on weekdays and was not school holidays also which the queue also not so long as the staff said majority their customers were local people . The price also affordable and reasonable .

This place is quite popular with locals, but the taste wasn’t quite to my preference. The curry gravy reminded me more of Malay curry rather than the usual nasi kandar style I’m used to. The environment also felt a bit uncomfortable and could be cleaner. But still worth to try.

The food at Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu is really good, tasty and worth the price! However, the cleanliness could be improved a little, as the restaurant is located below a flat area. Still, the food quality makes it worth coming back for. A true local gem for nasi kandar lovers! 🍛✨

China House, located in George Town, is a long shophouse that has played a significant role in the gentrification of the area. Managed by Narelle McMurtrie, it stands out as one of the most famous Western-styled bistros in George Town. The place offers a variety of dining options and an impressive selection of signature cakes. The historic city center where China House is situated reflects a multicultural heritage originating from trade routes between various regions.
Service was so-so, chill vibes and the place felt a bit narrow and packed. Interior is very rustic which suits the shop name. It was crowded but the shop opens late, making it a great dessert or supper spot since the menu is of variety. Ordered the signature tiramisu cake which look quite big and tastes not bad. The matcha latte was good too. The best part is being able to draw on the tables (crayons are given) which made the experience really fun. Food was fine and the price was unsurprisingly expensive but overall it is worth visiting for the unique experience and considering the time it opens for too!

I had high hopes for this cafe, but unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. First off, the service was incredibly slow. I waited over 20 minutes for a coffee. The staff didn’t seem very engaged, and it was clear they weren’t prioritizing customers. The coffee, which I was expecting to be the highlight, was lukewarm and bland. For a place that prides itself on its brews, this was a major letdown. The ambiance was also disappointing. The seating was uncomfortable, and the overall vibe didn’t feel very welcoming. It was crowded and noisy, which made it hard to relax and enjoy my drink. To top it off, the prices felt way too high for what I received. There are plenty of other cafes nearby that offer much better value. Sadly, I won’t be returning. I hope they take some time to address these issues. If I can give zero star, I would. p/s; Don’t order for the big breakfast. It’s probably the worst bb I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. No explanation needed!

Went here with high expectations but left feeling thoroughly disappointed. On entering the staff were all busy but eventually got shown by a blunt young man to a table in the ‘dining area’, not the busier ‘cake and coffee area’. The room wasn’t particularly atmospheric with only 1 other table occupied. Went for the Signature Bon Ton 3 Course Laksa set. After a long wait-about 25 minutes the food arrived …altogether! I wasn’t expecting everything at once. The top hats were fine albeit the chilli sauce was mild and no ‘kick’. The Malaca Nyonya Laksa was drab and lacked taste and more importantly was lukewarm. The black rice pudding was again lacklustre. I finished the meal and didn’t bother waiting for the bill. Again, staff nonchalantly disinterested, took payment at checkout.I was expecting them to ask some feedback about the meal but nothing. I just left bewildered! It seems their better reviews are for cake and coffee. Maybe I should have studied them more carefully!

I went to this café on 15 Nov 2025. The desserts were good, but the cashier really turned me off from eating. He seemed to have the flu that day and wasn’t even wearing a face mask. What concerned me most was that he handed the receipt to customers right after wiping his nose, without washing his hands. Proper hygiene is extremely important, not just for customer but also for protecting other staff. I hope the café can reinforce basic hygiene practices

Cafe was dimly lit to the extent that it was not comfortable to the eyesight. Also had a hard time reading the menu. Coffee was not bad, but small servings. The cakes no doubt using premium ingredients but were too sweet. Price was quite steep, if not one of the most expensive around Penang. RM17++ for a cup of small hot latte. Go figure.

Very very tasty cheesecake and tiramisu in town. This place is the must try for cake lover. The cheesecake was very flavorful of cheese and salted caramel and the cake not too dense or too soft. Tiramisu was good with fluffy cake and caramelized peanut. I can eat this cake all day if i can. This place will be a reason to comeback to penang again.

Kheng Pin Cafe, situated at the intersection of Penang Road and Sri Bahari Road, is gaining popularity for its Lor Bak stall. This Hokkien/Teochew dish features a variety of meats, seafood, tofu, and vegetables seasoned with five-spice powder and wrapped in thin beancurd skin before being deep-fried. The dish is typically served as an appetizer and accompanied by chili sauce and a sweet corn starch-thickened sauce called loh.
Step inside and it’s instant nostalgia: marble-top tables, weathered signages, patterned floor tiles, and fittings that look unchanged since day one. There’s even a glass cabinet of old knick-knacks that anchors the place in time. Many hawkers here have been at it for decades—some already in the next generation. My must-order is the lor bak: reliably crisp, well-seasoned, and the stall most regulars point you to. The char koay teow isn’t the city’s most famous, but it’s fragrant, nicely charred, and worth a try. I also had the nasi lemak with a pick-your-dishes setup—the rice is properly lemak and the sides I chose were solid (can’t speak for every single dish, but what I tried hit the spot). Heritage runs deeper than the décor. When one of the crew spotted us shooting with a film camera, he lit up and started chatting about his vintage collection—yes, including an old Leica. Finding it is easy: the kopitiam sits right on the main road, at the junction of Jalan Penang and Jalan Sri Bahari. Classic vibes, honest plates, and plenty of Penang soul.

This is a corner coffee shop with few stalls selling the usual suspects. It was jam packed when I arrived for breakfast but was able to get a table after a short wait. The tables are quite closely bunched up together. The din, heat, smell and humidity are what you expect at a coffee shop. I tried quite a few stalls. The hokkien mee soup was relatively light but the good news is that it comes steaming hot. As for the wan tan mee, delicious dark salty sauce. I just can't enjoy the chicken pieces. Somehow I can only enjoy wtm with pork pieces. Chicken just makes it taste weird. To me, at least. Lobak meanwhile was surprisingly yummy. Unexpectedly so. Ordering it can be done in sets, which for some, saves you the effort of choosing. I usually prefer to choose mine individually but for this episode, I ordered the set. Not a bad mix. Char koay teow however didn't really have the wok sei I crave but at least it doesn't swim in oil. Taste is decent but nothing you would travel for. In short, it's a nice place to have a classical coffee shop experience with generally good food but not something you would make a trip for.

Home to one of the most famous Lor Bak stalls in Penang, they also have decent Wantan Mee, Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow and Mixed Rice stalls here. The coffee is decent but not great. Try the Hokkien Mee with the prawn gravy mixed with the Loh Mee gravy. You’ll get a thicker gravy with will adhere to your noodles. Char Kway Teow comes with 2 large prawns, cockles and larp cheong (Chinese sausage).

So... The char keua teuw is certainly the highlight. Tasty. Umami is there.. However.. For 9 rm portion too small la. Packed with right amount of prawns, kerang and Chinese sausage. If you can increase size that be great. Flavour is top seller compared to Siam. Lo bak.. Average. So little for medium and pay so much.. We couldnt even choose what we want. That i wouldn't recommend.

Just a normal kopitiam. But it is like a family kopitiam for us as each one of us has a favourite dish there. My hubby likes the won ton mee, me and my son loves the fried mee.

Great place for the variety of hawker fare: yong tau foo, char keow teow , wan chen keuh, popiah, roti babi, ampala sumboi drink, lots more and halal Malay food too. Place that brings nostalgia to us who frequented as a kid.

Becoming our frequent go-to place recently. Bismi Soup, Zulaika Pasembor, and beverages from Dawood Cafe are our current must-have. Unfortunately, some stalls still require cash payment instead of cashless. Parking might be a bit difficult for those who drives. Late afternoon is quiet and comfortable as most tables are still empty. It gets hot and stuffy when fully occupied in weekends.

Kafe Ping Hooi is a popular spot in Penang to savor authentic local delicacies such as char koay teow, prawn mee, Ngo Hiang, loh mee, and kaya butter toast. The star of the menu is the char koay teow, a stir-fried dish featuring flat rice noodles cooked in pork fat with soy sauce, chili, shrimp paste, seafood, bean sprouts, chives, and egg.
Compared to popular hawker dishes like Hokkien Mee or Koay Teow Th’ng, Ark Tui Mee Suah (Duck Drumstick Vermicelli) is a lesser option in Penang. It’s a delicious dish, but its complex preparation might be why fewer stalls serve it. And like many local delicacies, every Ark Tui Mee Suah stall has its own unique twist! The key difference? The broth. Unlike other noodle soups cooked in large pots, its broth is prepared individually for each serving, infused with flavours from the meat and a blend of herbs. At Ping Hooi Coffee Shop, the soup has a lighter herbal taste—perfect if you prefer a milder herbal profile. 🥢 Despite the name Ark Tui Mee Suah which literally means Duck Drumstick Vermicelli, these stalls often offer other protein options like chicken and pork ribs, as well as different noodle choices like rice noodles.

Ordered chow kuey teow and lobak. Try one lobak + one fried pork (seller said it's his best seller), it taste good, the deep fried pork still juicy and crunchy, lobak is not overly season, maybe only 1 complaint is the lobak sauce is super sticky..... Chow kuay Teow is one of the best chow kuay Teow I have in this trip, comes with 2 huge prawn, and few small 虾蛄, hence the price of 11 (I forgot) but definitelyl more than 10, yet the taste is great, especially I ordered it together with duck egg. It's a place I will come again as mainly local patrons to the shop

Ordered the Fried rice, they used the method and ingredients of frying Char Koay Teow. Saw a review in Facebook and decided to try out. RM 10 only got lapcheong, egg, 1 big prawn 2 small prawns, bean sprouts etc. Recommended 👌🏻 very satisfying, next time will try the Char Koay Teow.

Ended up here because the famous 113 duck meat kuey teow soup next door was full. The CKT here was delicious and not oily. Came with 2 big fresh prawns. It's a small serving and just perfect for breakfast. Didn't really like the kopi ping, too sweet and watered down.
Yeong — Google review
I came to try again thinking it was still Tiger CKT but found out later that they have moved plus it was raining heavily so what the heck. My verdict, if you like strong flavours with rich aroma from the wok hei, you can try this. You can taste that it has a distinctive savoury flavour from the unique blend of sauces. It comes with usual prawns, cockles and mantis prawn. My recommendation is to go for the duck egg and if you can take chili, go for spicy. Overall it's good plate of CKT. Food for thought, I noticed the lady frying looked familiar. She looked like the same person when it was still the Tiger CKT stall plus the uniform is the same orange.

Opens from 6:30am, Kafe Ping Hooi offers a variety of hawker food such as Char Kway Teow, Lor Bak, Hokkien Mee and Lowe Mee etc. We sampled Lor Bak from Lobak King, Char Kway Teow from popular Tiger Char Kaoy Teow and Hokkien Prawn Mee next to him. Tiger’s CKT stood out from the other two dishes but still not the best I have had, perhaps the best in the area but not in Penang. 😌
Mauyeeyee — Google review
In my opinion, their Char Kway Teow is quite decent. While it may not be overly impressive, it truly captures the essence of wok hei. The combination of kway teow with prawns and cockles is perfect and definitely worth a try!

It was like any other food court, crowded and dirty. We tried the Hussain Pasembur and sotong kangkung, but there was nothing special about them. We only spent RM50 for dinner, including two drinks. We were not charged a high price for the pasembur because we did not take any seafood, just prawn fritters and frozen items. For us, it was not expensive. You just need to be mindful when choosing. You pay for what you take, so do not complain. We do not think we will come back, though. It was hard to find parking.

Once you enter this place, * touts* will be asking you * minum, minum* . We queued for Gani Pasembor. And ordered teh tarik kurang manis and teh O limau panas kosong. Surprised that teh O limau panas kosong cost RM4. I asked 3 times if indeed its rm4, he said yes. Teh tarik kurang manis is Rm2. The drink stall is the two stalls from Gani Pasembor, next to the ABC stall. Gani Rojak is so so. Nothing fantabulous , to each their own. Very red. ( Last year, we had the Hussain Pasembor- nothing remarkable as well) We also had 101 rojak buah from the other side of the food court. Its ok. And q was super long. As it was some 6pm plus, its not too hot. Breezy and slightly windy. Slightly dirty and slightly crowded !! Will I come back here to makan- NO. ( disclaimer- ownself try, dont take my words !)

Not much stalls available here, there's Chinese & Malay stalls at 2 different corners. Most of the food here is bad. Only green tomyam & rojak is good. The stir fry seafood is good, but their service is super duper bad. They'll ask u to wait for an hour even when the crowd is low. Their opening time is also uncertain following their mood. This round visit I'm here for the green tomyam but they're closed so ordered food from the malay stalls. The fried rice is tasteless & the portion of the ayam kunyit is ridiculously small. The satay is not well burned, so it's not fragrant enough.

Many hawker stalls are located here, especially the Gani Pasembur stall. The place was very packed when I last went here with limited seatings on a weekend/school holiday afternoon. The car park is also quite an issue here. The hygiene is not satisfactory. And there are a number of beggars and crazy persons (orang tak siuman) here while the customers are eating, which is a very irritating experience. The good thing is that the food court is by the strait, one can enjoy the view after eating. One can also see Gunung Jerai in Kedah from here on a clear, non-hazy day.

Local hawker Centre that’s very reasonably priced and delicious, the char kuay teow and curry mee are not heavily promoted but is such a hidden gem. Char kuay teow comes with the right amount of char without the overuse of soy sauce, the kuay teow still glistening in the wok hei. Curry mee is packed with ingredients including sotong and roast pork, and the broth has depth that is full of umami (but not msg!)

At Jalan Air Itam (17mins walk from Penang hill- we manage to walk from Penang hill car park to the place) local street food. Wantan Mee, Fried oyster, Popiah, Asam laksa, Prawn Mee.. I've ordered 2 Wanton Mee (Rm6.50 each) Fried carrot cake-black sauce (Rm5.50, large) Roast duck & Char Siew(pork) Rm10.80 .. The wanton Mee is in black sauce, the black sauce didnt over power the mee, nice! met my expectation:) There is 1-2 stalls selling some pastry & bread. Must try pan cake (crispy) - freshly made on the spot, bought the peanut/brown sugar, nice! something sweet after a meal. All self-service, tables are near to stalls- free seating..

Not a fan of loh mee but this loh mee really captures my tastebuds, right flavour and not too starchy, with right amount of meat for rm7! CKT not opened so we missed it. Fried oyster omelette is also very good, big pieces of oysters, runny egg crispy on the edge, the chili adds to the wonderful flavor. Nasi lemak is average, pasembur rojak is tasty too but price slightly on the high side considered its mainly vegetable. best of all, this place is not touristy!

Visited Food Hub by You&Me recently. During this trip, the variety of stalls seemed limited, possibly due to the festive period. Nevertheless, we managed to try the char koay teow, Penang hokkien mee, and koay teow tng. All were tasty and satisfying, though a little on the salty side. The food court has plenty of seating and large fans to keep the place cool and comfortable. Overall, a pleasant spot for casual dining, and I wouldn’t mind visiting again.

The taste is totally different than last few year. It was not tasty at all. My daughter and I were quite disappointed, even before the renovation. The chef's cooking skill is good. After the renovation, we went once and the taste was different. We asked the cashier if the chef or boss had changed. The answer was no; it was still the same chef. But honestly, I won't go again because the taste wasn't nice.

Decided to try this place for dinner. There’s 2 area to sit which is the shop itself or opposite the shop there’s another enclosed with Air-cond 3 tables. We wanted to sit the smaller area and regret after noticing there’s no button or way to call the server if you have any questions on the menu or need any condiments additionally. The server service quality was inconsistent, 2 of them didn’t announce what noodle it is and 1 of them did mention so we can tell her to serve it in front of them. Here’s what we tried tonight : 1. Sesame Oil Drumstick Mee Suah Rm 18.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - It’s decently nice, portion and ingredients given were sufficient however there’s a slight lack of aromatic sesame oil. It’s not a dish that will make us craving for it for sure. 2. Herbal Soup Mee Sua with Chicken Drumstick Rm 18.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Generous herbal ingredients so the soup is delicious. The bowl is pretty shallow about 1 inch depth so it’s easier to eat while retaining the heat from below. 3. Dan Dan Noodle Rm 14.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Normal, a bit bland but still okay. 4. Hot & Spicy Mee Sua Kor Rm 16.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Well seasoned soup, the taste mostly of spicy bean paste. Quite a big portion. 5. Signature Noodle + Shao Kao Chicken Rm 19.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Big portion, crispy chicken not too dry and noodle sauce quite nice. 6. Shredded Cucumber with Sauce Rm 5.90 ⭐️⭐️ - A lot chili oil, didn’t taste much any flavour from the chili paste, lack of flavour besides only spicy from the oil. I had better ones at other places where they have saltiness from soy sauce lightly marinate them. 7. Homemade Herbal Tea Rm 6.90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Delicious drink with quite thick herbal used. Overall the food is still okay but nothing stand out as it is averagely I can get the same taste from hawker place except they have more ingredients hence higher price point. There are service charge 5% and SST 6% also.

🦐 Dragon Noodle's Tiger Prawn Roll (老虎虾卷) is a crispy delight! The outer layer is golden and perfectly crunchy, while the inside is packed with juicy, tender tiger prawns. Every bite gives a satisfying crunch followed by sweet, fresh prawn flavor. It’s a great appetizer or snack that really stands out—light, crispy, and super addictive! Definitely a must-try! 😋✨ Theirs signature Milky Collagen Broth Bee Hoon with Siakap Fish (胶原蛋白鱼片粗米粉) is pure comfort in a bowl! The broth is rich, creamy, and full of natural sweetness from the collagen—super nourishing and satisfying. The Siakap fish slices are fresh, tender, and smooth, pairing perfectly with the soft bee hoon that soaks up all the flavor. Every spoonful is warm, silky, and comforting—perfect for a rainy day or when you’re craving something hearty yet light. Definitely a dish I would come back for! 😋🐟🍜 🍜 Dragon Noodle's Signature Mee Sua Koh (招牌面线糊) is absolutely comforting and full of flavor! The texture is smooth and slightly thick, just the way a good bowl of mee sua should be. The broth is rich, savory, and well-seasoned, coating every strand of the mee sua beautifully. The toppings are generous, and each bite feels hearty and satisfying. It’s the kind of dish that warms you up and hits all the right notes—simple, homely, and super tasty. Highly recommended! 😋🥢 🔥 Dragon Noodle’s 腊肠烧饭 Lap Cheong Fried Rice is a simple dish done right! The rice is perfectly wok-fried with that nice smoky “wok hei” aroma, and the lap cheong (Chinese sausage) brings a sweet, savory pop in every bite. Each spoonful is well-balanced, not too oily, and full of flavor. Sometimes the simplest dishes leave the strongest impression—will definitely order again! 🍚🥢😋

If you are a tourist, this would probably be the go-to durian joint, but there is another cheaper place, which you can see in my other review.

Open a durian and not good quality? They will take back. You can package to carry overseas. Quadruple packaging. First they individually wrap each durian. Then it’s put in a plastic box. Then it’s put on a sealed clear plastic, which is vacuum sealed. Then it’s put inside a silver thick plastic, which is then vacuum sealed again.

A wonderful cafe serving up a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner spread that will satisfy any foodie (yes, even the fussy ones 😋). Located at Farlim Square just a stone's throw from Sunshine Central mall, this joint offers a delectable range of bistro favs, with a number of signature entrees absolutely worth trying!!! Highly recommended (for newbies if it's your first visit): 1. Chef KT's Zesty Chicken, a fine tasting grilled chicken dish for those seeking a lighter touch than a run of the mill chicken chop); 2. Grumpy Sailor Fish n Chips (Oh wow, such a generous punnet of deliciously fried barramundi chunks!!! Even the grumpiest sailor would cheer up and eat with relish 🤩); 3. Seafood Thai Spaghetti (the savoury version, doused with pad kee mao sauce base will surely win your heart ❤️). For sides and appetiser, try out their lovely Pumpkin Soup (which sells out fast!!!), and for dessert, nothing beats their divine Tiramisu (such a fine tasting confection is seldom offered at this reasonable price-great value & great taste combo!!). If your are a smoothie junkie, you must not miss out trying the Hanky Berry Smoothie, which combines a riot of fruit and berry flavours with lovely caramel notes infused). Exceptional table service and a very knowledgeable manager and staff make dining here a true pleasure. 5-stars all around, of course!!! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟😊😊👍👍

From that moment, it became more than just a café to me — it’s a place filled with memories, warmth, and the comforting aroma of good coffee.

One must-try dish is the koay teow thng, featuring flat rice noodles in hot soup with fish balls and fish cakes. The lemak laksa here is highly recommended, known to be the best in Penang by many.
We came in the evening when the street in front was filled with hawkers. Duck egg Char Koay Teow and Asam Laksa were so flavorful and fabulous! We were very happy that there was a huge selection of vegetables at one of the vendors and ended up ordering Sambal Fried Kang Kong and Bitter Gourd Egg. There were just two of us and we wish we could have tried the Belacan Chicken Wings, Oyster Omelette, Hokkien Mee, and other hawker offerings that looked delicious and were popular with customers. Service was very quick and we chose to sit outside under the tent where there were a lot of tables

Quite a lot of food varieties here. Loved their pork satay the most. I dare to say it's the best one in PG. Well burnt & marinated, making it very fragrant. The rest of the food tastes average.

kopitiam brand encompassing three actual shops. walk around and take in scene before you choose. also perfectly located for post-hike refuel. char kuey kak is hungry-man good. there's duck-egg option, but not sure that makes difference like with char kuey teow. japanese rice bowl looks better in image form. ok eating, but undersized and in need of imagination sauce-wise.

A very old but small traditional wet market. It sells, fruit, vegetables, dry food, meat, live poultry etc. Busy activities will be at early morning and by 10.00am, many stalls would have closed for the day. I was late - came at 10.30am and the market seem deserted!!! It is at Campbell Street in the midst of many food stalls, restaurants.

Throw back to last visit. Drop by and had a lunch here. Tried their ramen and its good. There have a lot of foods choices here. I like their environment and decorations so much, very japanese feeling. Worth a try.

Ramen’s broths were too strong-porky and can’t taste other flavours, becomes very fast a mono-flavour bowl of ramen, and filling. Garlic fried rice was okay but can be better if the garlic flavour is stronger. Chawanmushi was quite bland, a little disappointed with it. The fried shrimps were good. Ocha was quite diluted too.

Place gives the vibe of 'mom & pops' shop, with very personal and cozy deco, which is rare nowadays (and which I appreciate). Owner's friendly and service was attentive. We had a tonkotsu ramen and a spicy soup ramen. Though the spicy ramen was just average, the tonkotsu was rich in flavor and I enjoyed it. Would return to try the rest of the menu.

The place was so freaking beautiful with so many real japanese decoration! So much to see and you’ll never get bored! The Ramen was good. You can count on them for a solid ramen. The saba fish set was also bot bad. The miso was slightly bland or watered down, but that could just be my palette ruined by the over salty food of other japanese restaurants hahahahaha. But i think this place would be so wonderful to just have a nice beer and chill with some homies.

The place is popular among locals and visitors for its must-try dishes like fish beehoon and oldman wanton mee. The tomyam noodles are particularly praised for their rich fragrant broth and fresh seafood.
This is one of my favourite spot for street food in Penang. Recommendation: Must try, fish beehoon. It's the best fish beehoon for me. Clear soup type, fried fish are specially nice. Must try, oldman wanton mee. Special menu, wanton mee with fried noodles. Thai tomyam, by thai auntie. The quality is not standard, sometimes good sometimes not so good. There are other foods. Price: Wanton mee is affordable. Fish beehoon and Tomyam is slightly above average. Cleanliness: Average coffee shop

One of the best Thai Tom Yam noodle in town.Look at the colour and you know how rich is their tom yam broth. Spicy, sour, with faint hint of sweetness. You'll get fresh seafoods, mushroom, and your choice of noodles, garnished with parsley, in one bowl. Prawn and cuttlefish were so plump, firm, and chewy. Fish was served in fillets. Tender but still holds the shape. Perfect texture A SWEATening meal for a chill evening. Best to eat with springy noodles.

If you’re a fan of Loh Mee, you haven’t tried it all until you’ve had Million Loh Mee. I’ve tried a few places, but this is my go-to spot. A small bowl for RM6.50 is filling enough. They’re also known for their delicious chicken feet. Interestingly, they have a side hustle selling random items and food products too!

We reached this non-airconditional restaurant on the weekend at about 10:30am. 30% of the tables were occupied. Table service for ordering and serving within 10 minutes upon ordering. The ambience was not hot, comfortable, and not noisy. Loh mee braised noodle was slightly above average. RM6.50 per serving. Braised sauce was delicious. There was a layer of sauce covering the top that was good. Other than that, the remaining was too watery. Ingredients were generous, such as pork slices, pork skin, egg, and chicken feet. 3 stars Prawn noodles were poorly made. RM6.50 per serving. There was a twist in the broth, but the lemon taste was too strong to our liking. Moreover, the broth was too watery. All ingredients were sufficient. I added RM5 of roast pork, but it was not good enough to overcome the weakness of the broth. 1 star

A coffee shop setting, around 8 tables of 2 -5 pax table. The food here is lacking in aroma, taste, and flavour. Lost its original touch of thick Hokkien Mee soup and also the Loh Mee tasted bland.

If you decide to come here, then expect the heat and humidity of a tropical country. Don't expect a comfortable cool environment to enjoy your food. But this is the hawker food of penang you are looking for right? There's only a line of ceiling fans to cool the place and it's inadequate. But something is better than nothing. The place is also not very well lit so it's a little dark. Fortunately even with all the doom and gloom it's saved by the food that you can get. The curry mee is deliciously milky and full of taste of lemak. Simply superb. I also like the laksa. Unlike others that serve watery soup, I like that this stall has soup that actually has some body in it. The char koay teow is light in taste though. Some may find it bland. It's saving grace is that it's not drowning in oil. The coffee is thick and delicious.

3 stars because of the curry mee, noodle soup and char kuay teow. The rest is a miss for me, especially the penang laksa. The broth was way too watery and doesnt even pack a punch. Chendol and ice kachang from the lady store was meh and she kept pestering us to buy right from the start even though we said later after our meal. She will keep dropping by to make sure u order from her rather than the other stall. Doesnt even taste nice anyway.

Dad took us to Air Itam for lunch on Wednesday and introduced my missus with the “Dumb Assam Laksa” situated in the hawker center. Not much of people know it for everyone only goes to the one across the street. Missus love the Assam Laksa here than the one across the street which she had before weeks ago. I trust my missus palate a lot for she really has the ability to distinguish between the sense of flavour and taste. It is the nicest Assam Laksa so far according to her. It’s not too sour and the aroma of the fishy broth is cook to the perfection thickness. Hence the veggie is very generous too. Price is much more cheaper only RM 4.50 for a small bowl which is enough for one. For me personally I do think they serve a really good Laksa too. I like it when the flavour is in full. One of the owner is actually a handicap in talking which is why the Laksa shop is call Dumb Assam Laksa. The other one is his sister which help him to translate customer needs and want. It’s not really that busy so I had a chat with his sister and both of them are super nice people who really put their heart into the cooking. They are close on Monday and Tuesday. Missus even had a picture taken with the owner. Fully recommend the place. And there is also a curry noodles shop in the hawker center too which is really tasty according to my dad but too bad it’s not open on Wednesday. Closed on Monday so basically the whole area is not open on Monday.

In my opinion, this place serves the best Penang Chendol in town! After trying the Chendol here, I doubt I'd ever visit the famous push cart Penang Chendol anymore. Ice was fine like snow and very generous with brown sugar! The ABC ice kacang from the same stall is very good as well - sarsi was added for extra flavour 😋. Please note that there are 2 stalls selling chendol - one by a man, the other a lady. The one I visited was sold by a man. A very kind and friendly uncle! (attached photo for your reference). I also highly recommend the curry mee here!

Cheap but normal zi cha. This restaurant was famous for salted fish dishes. As u walk into the restaurant, u can smell the salted fish aroma. The salted fish minced meat cake that I ordered, I would have expected to taste the salted fish bits and pieces. However it was a total disappointment. Someone said that it was a good zi cha which I doubt so. They can't even cook a good salted fish minced meat cake. If u are very hungry u can come and eat at this zi cha to fulfill your hunger. Because it is cheap. But if u are here for gourmet dishes, u can forget about this place.😣 Google map is slightly off track.

They have pan mee, curry mee, economy bihun, freshly steamed pau, chicken rice, fish noodles, curry fish head, Chinese buns and economy rice. The texture of the pan mee is good and not overcooked- I liked the touch of the freshly squeezed limau kasturi to add some tanginess to the noodles. Economy rice has plenty of options and affordable. The pan fried Chinese buns come in a few flavour; yam, sengkuang, pork, chicken, kucai and more. Good when hot from the wok. The uncle selling pau is quite friendly- get his char siew pau if you have the chance to (as he sells out fast) Coffee shop can be cleaner and parking is difficult in the morning.

Ordered the mixed meat (roast chicken, roast pork, crispy pork and bbq pork) with rice. All the meats were juicy and flavoursome, the broth was delicate and beautifully flavoured and the sauce delightfully rich. All came to 13 and was enough for the 2 of us. Recommend this spot to anyone.

The prawn noodles was the surprise here. They offer roast pork (not the crunchy skin type sadly) which gives it a very different level to the usual prawn noodles. The surprise was the pork skin ... Initially thought that was cuttlefish but upon biting it, it was so soft and tender. Full of gelatine - good for the skin! Surprisingly, the famous Ayer Itam assam laksa delivers to this coffee shop too. I would say Prawn Noodles > Ayer Itam Assam Laksa. If the Ayer Itam Assam Laksa had chunks of fish meat in the soup, it would be the hands down winner.

Can order the famous asam laksa from nearby and eat here. But the prawn mee is the star. Can add siew yuk. And its really delicious. That's coming from someone who typically doesnt eat prawn mee.

Duck rice with roast pork was surprisingly delicious. Halka Duck meat was not the same taste as Hong Kong roast duck, but hakka version had special taste inside the meat and less crispy and emphasis on the skin. 4 stars Roast pork was delicious. Balance of fat and meat. Skill was good and not over burnt. 4 stars

Great variety of food choices but food were pretty average only. Best food we had were the Koay Teow Th’ng and Duck Egg Char Koay Teow. Muah Chee - This was normal. Popiah - Didn’t enjoy the sauce so can’t comment much. Chicken Rice w Roast Pork - Pretty average tasting 😬 Koay Teow Th’ng - Super good! Duck Egg Char Koay Teow - So good, cooked over the charcoal. Really cannot go wrong w Koay Teow leh 🥹 Wan Tan Mee - Wanted to try another stall’s but they were sold out. This was average 😅

Just an old food court near Kek Lok Si temple 🛕. Food taste normal acceptable to us for food that we have ordered : Asam Laksa, Fried Oysters & cendol iced shave. Personally have eaten more delicious elsewhere in Penang. Came during 1.30pm , left only few stalls opened during Thursday.

An unusual thing to have Lobak for my breakfast😂😂😂 healthy diet rules are meant to be broken when you're on a holiday mode. Whatever it is! It was delicious. The prawn crackers is crunchy, the beancurd(tofu) and fishcakes were fresh along with the flavorful sauces. Chee Cheong Fun is my all time favourite and I would say it blended well with the sauces. Loved especially the Sambal Sauce mixed with dried prawns. Wooooo... delicious! Will come back here again! 😍❤️

Located in the heartland and far from the touristy parts of the island, this place is as authentic Penang as it gets. The food offerings are the range of hawker and/or street food that Penang is famous for, at very reasonable prices too. Good to know: many of the stalls accept payment by Malaysin ewallets. Parking is hard to find; but there is a paid parking lot at the nearby Kingston Hotel which might have spaces available.
Dennis C — Google review
Old world charm surrounds this market made famous by its assam laksa hawker, whose infamy included rumours of using old newspapers in the fish broth heard during my school days. In the late afternoon, few hawkers remain, dishing out the final remnants of chicken soup and fish balls to the straggling tourists. Beware the Cendol on the rocks, an awful bowl of melting ice scrags instead of ice shavings with the lame excuse of accomodating more santan milk. An experience best avoided on tour.

This mix rice cost RM15 which is over price as compared to KL. Food is average as too much of Ajinomoto.

Here for super early breakfast at 7am and people was already bustling about in the food court and the nearby market. Quite hard to look for parking, either pay for RM3 for 2hrs in Deview hotel carpark or park quite a distance in the taman area. Ordered char koay teow with extra prawns for RM6 which is quite cheap for Png price. CKT was nice too.

If you're on the hunt for a unique culinary experience, look no further than Disco Fresh Milk. This vibrant food stall has been delighting visitors for over 30 years with its lively atmosphere, complete with bright lights and catchy tunes that evoke the spirit of a disco. Nestled in Air Hitam Market, this tiny food truck specializes in fresh cow milk drinks and tasty snacks.

Roadside seller. The experience was good, owner seems to be okay despite reading review about him. Taste seemed more like powdered milk rather than fresh milk. When left to sit for a while, it didn’t form the usual protein film that real fresh milk typically develops. Price is a bit on the high side.
Robert R — Google review
RM16 = 3 cups of small milo milk + ‘special treatment’ Seriously will not recommend this place for a number of reasons: 1. Bad attitude towards customers: My grandmother was ordering 2 cups of milo milk but the owner of the stall could not really hear as the background music was so loud. It is a common sense that you will ask your customer second time if you could not hear what they say. However, he did not do so, just said ‘no’ and walked away immediately, continuing smoking afterwards. 2. Unable to admit mistakes done by staff: I thought the owner might be having a bad day or he just wanted a break; therefore, I ordered from the foreign worker in Malay language, mentioning 2 small cups of milo milk (dining in) and 1 small cup of milo milk (take away). He nodded his head so I would assume he understood. Later on, we were served with 2 cups of plain milk. I then told the foreign worker that this order was wrong. The worker then took 2 cups back to the stall and informed the owner. I could see that the owner was frowning and could not hear what he was mumbling because of the loud background music. The worker then served us the same thing and asked me to pay. Obviously, I will not pay since they did not get my order correctly and he forgot about the takeaway order too. The worker conveyed the message to the owner. It was obvious that he was sour-faced and unwillingly adding milo powders to the 2 cups of plain milk (did not change the cup or milk). [Honestly, I really could not understand why it would be a hassle for him since he just had to add milo powders to the milk in order to rectify the order]. Neither the worker nor the owner took the initiatives to walk over to our table and clarify the situation. 3. Felt discriminated: Since there was confusion over my order, I walked to the stall to clarify my order and also informed the owner about the forgotten takeaway order. While I was ordering in Hokkien (usual dialect used in Penang and the owner understood this language), he appeared irritated and trying to amend the language I used in English (the exact words he used - takeaway is it??) along with the “side-eye” look. From this incident, I did not receive any simple apology or even a smile from the owner/worker, instead I was getting ‘the best treatment’ from the owner. Some readers may think that this was a minor matter; it was absolutely disappointing when this kind of incident happened in the place where I think highly of, Penang.

Restaurant First Famous Federal is a must-visit spot in Penang, known for its delectable chicken and duck rice. The place comes highly recommended by locals and popular food blogs, making it a top choice for travelers. One of their specialties is the pi pa duck, an air-dried and deep-fried duck shaped like the Chinese musical instrument pipa. In addition to this unique dish, visitors rave about the crispy roast pork and flavorful sour soup.
First time back after many years. The flavor not only got better, portion also got bigger. Big rice char sio and sio bak, with medium soup, only RM11. Got to be the most value in town. Plenty of table with many seats, can easily fit in 90 people at one time. Even under very hot sun, you won't feel hot inside. The air is cool with natural breeze and powerful fans. I highly recommend this place. If tou are nearby please come enjoy your meal here. The lady boss also very friendly. Thank you boss.

Roast duck taste wise was ok. But overpriced. RM10 for 6 small pieces of duck meat was too much. 2 stars Added few pieces of BBQ pork at RM4. Taste wise was ok. 3 stars
Hock T — Google review
Just ok, I’ve had better and not worth the trip. We went to try the duck but it was all sold out by the time we arrived but I’m not sure it would have been good enough to make it worth it. The only reason for 2 stars was because of the sour soup which was really tasty. Overall it’s an ok place if you are in the area but don’t go out of your way. To be fair, the owner/mngr was super friendly and the place was pretty clean just not a 5 star experience

Ordered char Siew (roasted honeyed pork slices) and shao rou (roasted three layer pork ie crispy pork skin, fats and lean meat layers) with rice. Char Siew came highly recommended by the lady owner who says it's popular. However it was the Worst meal I had in Penang. The rice was mushy and badly cooked. The char Siew was 80% inedible because all fats - no joke. The shao rou was ok but u can get better anywhere in Singapore. The soup was an Assam soup (Hot and sour) which did not go with the rest of the meal. Paid slightly more than 8 ringgits for this. I'd suggest to avoid this place.

Dim sum restaurant
Maxim Dim Sum Pekaka is a renowned dim sum restaurant located in the southern part of Penang island. It has gained a strong reputation for its wide variety of delicious dim sum offerings. The restaurant is known for using metal dim sum baskets instead of the traditional bamboo ones, and it's not uncommon to wait in line for 30-45 minutes on weekends due to its popularity.
This place is usually crowded but the waiting time is very short- I got table within 5 minutes on Monday morning . The staff would walk you to the table and explain how to take the dim sum as it js self service. They have variety of dim sum with good taste and reasonable price. My personal favourite was the fried radish cake and chee cheong fun.

Visited last week on a weekday lunch. Somehow pretty quiet!!! Street parking available, surprisingly. Food is so so. The Hor Fun and Mee noodles fried were not great. The custard bun did not have the custard flow easily, more like normal filling. The porridge was acceptable. Same goes with the sui mai and fish balls. Overall, it's just a normal lunch for us. Price wise is competitive.

The worst dining experiences in Penang!! I came around 7.12am with 12 pax today (Sunday). The restaurant was only about 40% full with many empty tables, yet the staff pushed us to a cramped corner space that only fit 2 big tables. One table was already occupied, and the staff casually said the customer would “leave soon,” asking us to sit and wait there. If I hadn’t rejected it, our group of 12 would have been forced to squeeze into that space for breakfast. I asked to sit at the centre hall (completely empty at the time), but staff claimed it was “taken by a 15 pax group for 3 table, 6 pax for another table” and that it was “first come first serve.” In reality, I saw new walk-in customers immediately seated there with no reservation (7.19am). Another centre table was preset with plates (7.30am) and later occupied by just 6 pax (8am), not the so-called big group. Clearly, tables were being held for selected customers. This was misleading and dishonest. If you want to reserve for VIPs, put a sign. Don’t mislead paying customers by saying “first come first serve” when it clearly isn’t.

Slightly above average for dim sum ratings. Porridge and prawn chu cheong fun ok. Prawn dumpling is a bit dry when eat. Siu mai no surprise. Food level has dropped a bit from first it launch. Fried radish with prawns rm13.90. Quite good, it’s for 2 person portion but I think 3-5 persons also can eat. Found tht the price has been increased a bit compared to last year. Anyhow , service is fast and got robot serving ordered dish. Cha xiu bao is good RM2.8/ea. Worth trying .

I have not been to this place for more than a decade and in the old days, I recall there are a lot of nice hawker food around but I think over time, the hawkers have probably left and also the cafe most likely change ownership already. But the good news is this place seems renovated and in pretty good condition in general. But of course the most important thing is the food. I tried the Char Kuey Teow with duck egg and it is pretty good and acceptable. Definitely not on par with the famous CKTs around Penang but still OK. I also tried the apom balik and it is nice although I would have prefered the outer area to be more crispy type instead of soft. There is also a van outside the coffee shop selling fried chicken and it is pretty good and no wonder there is quite a bit of queue here! I think the hawker stalls here is pretty limited and I hope they can expand more stalls. Else I am not surprised it was not that packed when we went. Overall a decent place but not really recommended if you want to savor all the popular hawker food Penang is famous for.

Slightly higher priced on the majority of food there and an average rating on the taste of food at this food court. Notable food at this food court is the Bitter Gourd Soup Stall and the 'Chu Char' Stall (Cook-to-order stall) like Spicy Potatoes Leaves, Emperor vegetables cooked in garlic and Sour Plum Chicken. We ordered the Sambal Potato Leaves, Fried Brocolli, Fried Fish Spring Onion Ginger, and Lotus Root Soup... pair with Tau Ew Bak (Black Sauce Pork) and Fish Maw Soup. Averaged set-up of tables and chairs, slightly roomy (not packed like a sardine kind of arrangement), airy with high ceiling or no ceiling if sitting outdoors. At this current price, the Chu Char and the Fish Maw soup are very reasonably priced.

A convenient rest stop that’s a 10min walk away from Penang Hill, good place to grab some local food and chill. There isn’t a wide variety here but the wanton mee is worth getting as the noodles are served al dente. For something light, the pork organ soup is clear and peppery, pretty refreshing and not to filling. However the lu rou fan from the same stall was quite disappointing. We also tried the pancakes from the cart right outside the kopitiam, it was warm and slightly sweet, good to snack on for some refuel!

If you're a true aficionado of Thai cuisine, then Baan Khun Thai is a name that surely rings a bell. This beloved establishment first opened its doors in Butterworth and has since blossomed into multiple locations across Malaysia, including Teluk Kumbar, Petaling Jaya, Kepong, and Cheras. Known for its authentic flavors and vibrant dishes, Baan Khun Thai offers an unforgettable culinary experience that captures the essence of Thailand right in the heart of Butterworth.
Serves good authentic Thai food. Have been here a couple of times and all the dishes that we ordered definitely didn't disappoint. Service is also good. Staffs are very polite and friendly! Only small setback is the place is a little small and therefore the sound can be a little loud when it's crowded and you can hear conversations next to your table. Other than that, it's worth visiting if you're craving for Thai food.

Located in Paya Terubong, one of the oldest shopping districts in Penang, this stall is famed for its delicious nasi lemak. It is open as early as 4am and serves up a wide variety of side dishes to choose from. The rice is cooked perfectly and the sambal is spicy and delicious. The only downside is that it's located on the ground floor next to a trishaw stand, which isn't exactly clean.
One of the best nasi lemak (chinese style) in my rating. RM4.50 per serving with sardines fish and prawn. Curry was delicious, sambal was fantastic and the rice was cooked to perfection. The only cons was the trishaw stall was besides main road and not really that hygiene.

Only 1 place can day really local & outside people eating & satisfying. Hope my share can help others save their time & money & stomach quota to try others 👎👎👎👎

Just had it the first time! Thought the stall would be closed due to the rain but nope they were there! Dabao one for RM4.30 - added more rice - x1 fried chicken - cucumbers - eggs - anchovies with spicy sambal (skipped the prawns and fish cause too lazy for the shells and bones). Finished in 10 minutes! Delicious! At 5am, this nasi lemak has much better value for money than nearby McDonald’s and KFC breakfasts. One thing to be clear though: It’s actually WHITE rice with nasi lemak ingredients, not the typical coconut milk rice we’ve elsewhere. Overall, lovin’ it!

Pork free nasi lemak , taste great with alots of choice. Open early in morning around 5.30am. Recommended to try the regular one with fried fish, bilis + egg. The prawn 🦐 and fried chicken 🍗 not bad also. Those who can't eat HOT 🥵, can try nasi lemak also but tell them u want soy sauce one. (no hot)

Yeah, is open at 4.30am, first customer today

I am long a buyer at the stall for years. Unfortunately the food is getting less yummy,smaller portion. Less coconut milk used to cook rice,fewer anchovies mixed with only two spoons of sambal sauce,smaller egg portion,but the price is higher since 2019.Taste no longer the same as few years back. Look as if the trader want to save every penny to make maximum profits as possible. They (the stall owners,their son and two elder staffs) wouldn't entertain you if you ask any. Sour-faced,you can see them clearly when you come to buy one.

Disappointed. "NasiLemak" without anchovy, nuts and the basic santan, just plan rice with chilli paste. Price wise is ok. RM7 for plain rice + small chicken + XS size Fish slice + XS Prawn. Will never visit again.

The male seller is arrogant and rude. Taste is very average , a far cry from last time. Quality have dropped certainly

I have been to the Luckeelicious a few times. The food is very yummy and reasonable price. The oyster omelette is a hidden GEM with generous serve of oysters. The egg tart with biscuit base is quite special which is different than other stores. I would recommend my friends to try it out. 推推
Andrew T — Google review
Verdict: My experience with this restaurant is not good. Service was a mess. I hope that they will improve. Foods: - 猪油渣饭 Pork Lard Rice: 10/10. It taste great in overall! The sunny up egg is nicely done too. - 蛋挞 Eggtart: 9/10. - Iced drinks were too many ice. Way too many. Environment: - It's a small restaurant. - Tables arrangement are a little too packed Service: The service was a mess. Order wasn't served, or were serving to the wrong table, not once, not twice, again and again, during a single visit.

Beng Chin Garden is a traditional kopitiam in Penang that offers a variety of local delicacies. Visitors praise the good prices, decent food, and excellent service. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is highly recommended for its authentic and delicious flavor. The char kuey teow is also popular for its fragrant taste and well-cooked prawns. Additionally, the nutmeg juice is refreshing and worth trying.
The food here is really delicious. I saw a sign saying they won 2nd place in the Penang Famous Char Kway Teow Competition 2023. Really sweet. Today is my lucky day. The price is really cheap too. It is crowded here. I was shocked when I saw it. I would recommend it.

The braised pork knuckle rice was delicious even though the meat was slightly tough. The fat melts in the mouth and the broth was flavourful. The green chili sambal was very good. Had Ulam sambal, Pad Kra Pao pork rice and Thai milk tea on the next visit. The sambal for the Ulam was superb. Pad Kra Pao pork rice was authentic and the Thai milk tea was really good.

This was honestly the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had! I’m vegetarian, and they were so kind to prepare it with tofu instead of shrimp – without any hesitation. The staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, and the food was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended – I would come back anytime!

Miee D — Google review
Food was good but we ordered pad Thai which was 13 rm on the menu and she charged 25 rm each supposedly because she added fish, which we didn’t request, we just said we didn’t want meat, only seafood (which was displayed in the menu). She only told us it was more money when we went to pay at the end. The communication was very hard because the lady didn’t speak English. In the end we ended up negotiating for 20 rm each. In summary, if you are a tourist, ask about the price first because you might get an unpleasant surprise in the end.

Beautiful rooftop restaurant with great ambience and flavourful food. We had a lovely dinner here, everything was well-presented and cooked to perfection. The 28-day aged Angus striploin was tender and juicy, perfectly grilled with rich smoky aroma. The 10-day aged salmon was buttery and fresh, and the Crab on Rock was a refreshing starter. Dessert with the signature Kek Lok Si Durian Crème Brûlée was the perfect finish. Service was attentive, and the rooftop dome setting created a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Highly recommend for special occasions, date nights, or simply to enjoy a nice view over Ayer Itam 🌿✨

• We ordered the Australian ribeye and Australian wagyu, and both were cooked exactly the way we wanted. Juicy, tender and full of flavour. • For drinks, we tried the tiramisu coffee and the pistachio coffee. They tasted beautifully unique. • The staff weren’t just doing their job, they were genuinely warm and attentive. They checked on us often without being intrusive. • The ambience was comfortable and calm, perfect for a slow, meaningful dinner together especially bithday celebration. • The prices matched the quality we received, and we left feeling satisfied and happy. We would definitely come again, especially for the steaks and those unforgettable coffees.

This place is hidden gem we accidentally discovered whilst looking for place to eat after returning from Penang Hill. The Flame crispy chicken burger was unforgettable and was accompanied by a dry ice and flame show. The smoky satay chicken thigh wasn't a satay per se but was delicious and accompanied by 2 side dishes. The Cesar salad was different and had a smoky taste I assume from the flaming of the salad leaves during preparation. Nice touch. The staff were friendly and provided good service in particular Mr William who was very attentive and friendly. We even got a complimentary ice cream as desert from William. A must go place if you're tired of Penang hawker food and want to try some Western food with a difference

Super miss Pizza Station after they moved out from Sunshine Farlim, so ordered Grab for the yummy pizza 😋 Surprisingly the cinnamon and garlic bread sticks are yummy too 🤤 Please keep up the quality 👍🏻
Citrine T — Google review
Ordered Grab pickup. Pizza was ready on-time and piping hot. Crust was pretty good and there was almost no crust rim which is a good thing (filled to the brim). The tomato sauce and chicken were flavourful, the garlic sauce could have been stronger, the salted egg sauce could have been better. Vegetables on the pizza were still moist and had their flavours retained.

I was really impressed with the quality of the pizza. We got a deal for 2 large for rm38 for meat lovers style. We chose normal thickness crust. Although halal, the taste was really good and fresh. Great western style pizza! These guys are better than us pizza, dominos, etc. Plus cheaper. Can deliver for rm3 from grab, but I dont think you'll get 2 large for rm38 though. Try them out.
