Cecil Street Market (七条路巴刹) is no stranger to Penangites. Aside from getting fresh produce, there is plenty of street food under one roof. Ask the locals and they’ll recommend you the Pasembur and Roasted Pork for a pleasurable food trip in Penang. Personally, we’d recommend the Curry Mee and Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng.

If deep-fried Malaysian food is your thing, then you’ll enjoy lor bak. It’s a Hokkien/Teochew dish consisting of various meats, seafood, tofu, and vegetables.

As described, this bowl of fish ball noodle soup from Pitt Street Koay Teow Th’ng was one of our favorite dishes in Penang. It was also the most surprising because I didn’t expect it to be this good.
Koay teow th’ng is a dish made with flat rice noodles served in a clear soup broth. It’s topped with fish balls, pork slices, chicken, browned garlic bits, and chopped scallions. It’s usually served with a side of soy-vinegar with chopped red chilies.

Check out this apom-manis-making auntie churning out crepe after crepe after crepe. Watching her lift the lids off the woks to check on the apom manis was like watching a street hustler play the shell game, except under every cup was a winner!
The famous Penang street food stall I read about on Kuching Road was too far to walk so we tried it at this night hawker stand on Chulia Street instead.
