Lots of eating places to explore in George Town:
-
For a start, explore Pulau Tikus Market in the morning, where you can get a feel of Penang hawker fare for breakfast. Two traditional coffeeshops, 77 Food Yard and Seng Kong flank Solok Moulmein, a narrow street off Burmah Road.
77 Food Yard is known for its Penang curry mee, ark tui mee sua (duck-leg soup with rice noodles) and char koay kak (fried rice cakes).
Seng Kong across the street is famous for its Penang-style Hokkien mee (noodles in pork-prawn broth), mee goreng (Indian-style spicy fried noodles) and Indian sweet apom (eggy little sweet crepes). -
For lunch, you may wish to try Tek Sen, a local family-owned Chinese eatery that offers local Penang dishes like fish asam pedas (sour-spicy fish soup), caramelised pork floss, etc.

In the evening, pop by Lebuh Kimberley (Kimberley Street) or Lebuh Chulia (Chulia Street) where night hawker stalls offers a plethora of Penang hawker eats. The good stalls are the ones with the longest queues.
Penang has too many eateries for me to mention in a page - do let me know what kind of food you’re looking for so I can narrow down any good eats to recommend.
