The island of Penang is truly for the gourmet, with a taste sensation for every connoisseur. Here, the adventurous eater can sample the distinctly different cuisine of Malays, Chinese and Indians.

It will truly be a gastronomic crime if one did not sample the local fare while in Penang. Hawkers (open air stalls) are in abundance everywhere, and offer a great variety of food that one could stay for two weeks and still not be able to savour every dish available.
