Favorite thing: There are variuos kind of hawker food in Malaysia. Even for the same name, it can mean different kind of dish.
Chee Cheong Fun in Penang is different with Chee Cheong Fun in Ipoh and is different from Chee Cheong Fun in KL. Most Chee Cheong Fun you find in KL is Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun.
'Hokkien mee' in Penang means 'prawn noodle' in places outside penang. 'Hollien Mee' in places outside penang means a kind of fried noodle with prawn and vege.
'Laksa' in Penang is 'Curry Mee' in places outside penang. If you wanna eat 'laksa' outside penang, look for 'penang laksa', else you will get a bowl of curry mee.
'Rojak' in malay means everything dump together. 'Rojak' in penang means cucumber, mango, guava, pineapple dumped together with black sauce. 'Rojak' outside penang can means other different things dump together. I tried rojak in Muar- bean sprout, unknown vege, etc dumped together..

Favorite thing: Penang lang are 'recognised' for their choosy- especially in food because penang has the best hawker food in the world( i believe so although i havent traveled to other parts of the world).
Only foreigner come to Penang for tourist spot, beaches, colonial houses bla bla bla.. Malaysian outside Penang come to Penang for FOOD- eat eat eat!
There are a lot of unique local food selling by hawker stall either inside a restaurant or along the roadside. Believe me, a so so stall for penang lang can be a delicious stall for KL or singapore people. If you dont believe, try yourself!

Favorite thing: Many visitors go to Gurney Drive for food. But I recommend checking out the streets along Penang Road. Coffee shops are everywhere..from laksa to fried kuay teow to roti prata. Walk along Penang Road and you will chance upon a small street with 2 chendol stalls. Great place to stop for a nice cold chendol and you can also pop into the coffee shop nearby to try out the local food.

Favorite thing: Penang is one of the food capitals of the world. When there you must try to eat the local hawker food. It is confusing at first but don't worry, people are very friendly and will soon be directing you towards their favourite stall and their favourite dishes.
Have a wander around the stalls and see what takes your fancy. If there are two or more of you visit several stalls and order a variety of dishes. There are no menus and each stall tends to specialise in only one type of dish.
Once you have ordered sit at a table and your food will find you! Payment on delivery. The drinks vendor will come to you once you are seated.
