    • Eating out at the hawker stalls & numerous coffee shops is a way of life for Penang-ites. There are numerous coffee shops, some of which are really old (circa Malaysia's Independence) and have achieved practically "cult" status and a few that have been handed down from father-to-son. Others are famous simply because they serve good food.

    Among those that are famous are:
    Three Sisters Char Kway Teow on MacCalister Street
    Kayu Nasi Kandar, which serves delicious Indian Muslim food 24 hours a day (branch in SS 2, Petaling Jaya and Boxhill, Melbourne)
    Gurney Drive Asam Laksa off the man's truck
    Chendol & Ais Kacang at Komtar Food Court
    Seafood at The Beginning of the World Restaurant (but I've never been able to find it!)
    Durians from Pulau Tikus.

    Those who have more suggestions or want to add on to this list, please write to me. I welcome your suggestions!
