A GASTRONOMIC GUIDE TO THE BEST FOOD PLACES IN GEORGE TOWN, PENANG BY GARY MACNAMARA
Known for its awesome food and dining experience, George Town is a haven for the best street food in Asia.
Voted by Lonely Planet as the top culinary place for 2014, there is no other place in the world where a mix of cultures have contributed so much culinary influence, but Penang’s capital George Town.
A chat with Malaysians will inevitably bring the conversation to the variety of delicious food they offer. From fried kway teow to hokkien mee, chee cheong fun, assam laksa to rojak, there’s just so much to taste and savor in the food capital of Malaysia.
Foodies embarking on a gastronomical journey will find a multitude of choices for eating in Chinatown, Little India, hawker
stalls and food courts across the city.
The streets of Chinatown are a great place
