 Sketching a Lovey Couple,
Gurney Drive by bpacker
Additional Info: The famous Gurney Drive Hawker Centre is no longer in the usual roundabout location. It has shifted about a couple of km away to a residential area. Also we noticed it has changed dramtically over the years, the whole shoreline is now dominated by hotels, shopping centres and expensive looking beach front property.
Casual I suppose. Do expect to bump into joggers in this place. Leave a Comment Theme: Family SpotAddress: Gurney Drive , Penang,Directions: You can park by the side of the pavement.

 Gurney Drive, where else? by bpacker
Penang Rojak- The stall has an insanely long queue, it's just opposite the only Chinese satay stall that sells intestines satay. Yes intestines.
BBQ fish - North west corner, near the mobile vans. There is only one stall that sells this.
It's bloody hot and humid over here and you'll be fighting families for a seat so come armed with an umbrella to poke them or packets of tissue paper to wipe your face after a fight. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Gurney DriveDirections: Do note that the hawker is NO LONGER at the usual location ( the turnabout ) . It's located less than a km away in a residential area . Lots of tall condos there.

If you're after what is possibly the world's longest street stall, check out these markets.
It's approximately 2km of semi permanent and temporary markets that open up after 7pm Friday and Saturday nights.
Everything from souviners and fake brand clothing/ accessories to art, jewelery and live baby tortoises can be got here.
You'll wont find anything here that you can't get elsewhere for less except for the paper umbrellas. I found one guy who's starting price was $60RM and ended up giving me one for $6RM.
Be wary of the DVD sellers. Pirate copies are illegal and police regularly conduct raids. If you are in the process of purchasing a pirate copy when they do a raid, you will be taken in too. You may find that although the DVD will be dirt cheap, more often than not, you may have just purchased a shiny coffee coaster. Legitimate DVDs can be purchased from the Komtar or other major shopping complexes. You'll pay a little more but if the disc doesn't work, at least you will be able to exchange it.
Once you've worn your feet out, head across the road at any point and you'll find something to eat. Huge outdoor takeaway centres, cafes, resturaunts and stalls abound - you will definitely find something to suit any palate and budget.
Good walking shoes and be prepared for a sudden downpour. Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: Batu Farringhi main street

 Batu Ferringhi Nite Market
(Pasar Malam) by imstress
The nite market opens around 8pm till 12am (if it does not rain).
There are many stalls along two sides of the road. Restaurants and pubs can also be found. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Batu Ferringhi

The best thing I can recommend for Penang after dark is Shopping!!! The little stalls set up all along the main road infront of the hotels at night and run till about 11.30pm. I bought so much stuff! 100% original copy of course! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Batu Ferringhi comes alive at night. The night market buzzes and stall after stall compete with each other to sell their wares. Here you can buy all manner of souvenirs, fake watches, handbags and t shirts.
DVD's are big business in the night market and you can get all the latest releases which are only just on the cinema screen in the UK for about £2.80. We bought a few and all but one plays, so we didn't fell as if we wasted money. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you are staying in Batu ferringhi there is a night market every night from around 7.00PM. Plenty of stalls selling all sorts of goods, particularly fakes. If you do want to buy anything barter very hard.
A good idea is to peruse the stalls, go for dinner in one of the many restaurants and shop on your way home.

Fascinating. You ca buy anything at these markets, from local dress to local food at very cheap prices. You can try to bargain with stall owners, which is all part of the fun to them.
If you are a lover of vegetables and seafood then you can't go wrong here. Such a large selection ro choose from. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

Definately the best night market i've been to. Great selection of goods, the traders do not hassle you and you're free to check out the items displayed without it being shoved down your throat. Cheapest sale of pirated dvd's and cd's around at RM4 each and it goes on for a pretty long stretch. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
