1.Char Koey Teow
           
Penang has their fair share of famous Char Koey Teow stalls with their own signature taste. What I appreciated most from Penang-style Char Koay Teow is the flavor of 'work hei', and the freshness of the ingredients. Also, going for the duck eggs option did gave a richer taste to each mouthful of noodles.

Recommended stall:
Tiger Char Koay Teow @ Kafe Ping Hooi: 181 Lebuh Carnarvon, George Town, 10450 Pulau Pinang, Malaysia.

2. Rojak Penang
 
Rojak is considered a colloquial representation of variety and mixture. It is a salad of bean curds, fritters (you tiao), bean sprouts, cuttlefish and assortement of fruits covered in a thick syrupy peanut sauce. Fresshly tossed with pineapple slices so sweet you would widen your eyes in surprise.

Recommended stall:
Tan Swee Hoe Rojak (Stall #52) & G.P. Soon (Stall #39) @ Gurney Drive Hawker Centre: 172, Solok Gurney 1, Georgetown, 10250 Jelutong, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia.

3. Penang Teochew Chendol
   
How can anyone forget the famous dessert in Penang. A bowl of shaved ice filled with chewy green rice flour jelly (chendol), red beans, fresh coconut milk and a splash of gula melaka (brown sugar) syrup. The quality however may not be consistent during the second trip there, teh coconut milk tasted diluted and there was not enough gula melaka. This ice cold dessert is nonetheless a wonderful respite from the blistering tropical heat.

Recommended stall:
Pushcart Chendul Stall: 100 Lorong Macalister, George Town, 1140 Pulau Pinang (Junction of Jalan Macalister & Jalan Burma)
