George Town Penang in a Day - Food Journal


We planned a simple get-away in famous Penang for food and leisures. We decided to go walk in the city. We did it in a day.

Straits Garden Suite AirBnB


It is a simple Studio Apartment and three of us could stay in comfortably. I guess there is sofa bed for the fourth person. The kitchen and washing machine are useful and make it homely for us.

Lebuh Kimberly
On the first night we arrived, we took a Grab Taxi to Kimberly area for dinner. It was dark and we did not see many choices and the price was not that cheap. The 10 pieces Satays was RM12. The Char Koay  


The desserts were nice.



Jelutong Market 
94, Lorong Batu, Taman Jelutong, 11600 George Town, Penang

We took a short walk from our place at Straits Garden Suite, about 10 minutes and found a busy local market at Jelutong. We went to look for what locals will buy for their cooking :- Bak Kut Teh, Tom Salted Chicken powder, Yam Paste etc.

We took our nice reasonable-priced breakfast there, every item was nice. Too many choices and we could only choose a few as we could not finish our food. The local black Coffee  (Kopi-O) was a bit different from Sabah Coffee, it has a bit of sour taste which we all do not like.

The market stalls are clean and good food. We enjoyed going through all the different stalls to find goodies that we could buy.

On the way home, we stopped by a budgeted Cake Stall to buy a celebration for Jovie and also to the local supermarket for some local produce - mangoes and coffee!

Lebuh Campbell
At about noon time, we took a Grab Taxi (RM7) to get there and started our hunt for food and street arts. Foodie Street of Food, museums, interesting wall arts.






Chicken Rice was delicious.

After an afternoon of walk, we tried an Indian restaurant for dinner. It was a nice dinner.



All in all, it was a great outdoor Foodie Day. The shopping was good too.
