Penang Street Food Tour

After meeting local guide at Penang port, start your special Penang trip with a travel by air-conditioned vehicle to local hot spots bustling with street stalls and food hawkers who roll out their carts at night.

Firstly, explore the back lanes of Penang off the beaten track, where you’ll make four or five stops to have your desserts by tasting delightful snacks and drinks. Along the way, listen to your foodie guide describe the street-food phenomenon of Penang. Infused with a variety of spices, Malaysian food is the showcase combined by a variety of Malay, Chinese and Indian flavors. Try traditional fritters such as prawn, tofu or yam, bite into Penang lobak, a spiced deep-fried pork roll, slurp signature noodles, and sample delicious seafood among other savory snacks.

Your children will be excited with lines and lines of colorful booth. Sink your teeth into a sweet Indian pancake called an apom – deliciously crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Or try a bite-sized kuih, a traditional sweet treat made of sticky glutinous rice. Other delectable available are heow piah (brown-sugar biscuits), coconut tarts and a variety of tropical fruits: jackfruit, assorted guava, coconut, dragon fruit, rambutan and mangosteen.

Eating always comes with drinking. You can enjoy some local favorite drink, choosing from a variety of non-alcoholic options including lime juice with sour plum, nutmeg juice, Chinese herbal tea, grass jelly, chrysanthemum, winter melon, fresh calamansi lime juice with plain or rose syrup, and more. Try some and they can be the best things you have ever tasted.
Your Penang Trip ends with return transport to port for next Asia Shore Excursions.
