Line Clear Nasi Kandar, Penang Road
"Nasi kandar", a popular rice dish of Indian-Muslim origin, served with a mind-boggling array of curries & side-dishes, is a must-have for any foodie to Penang.
Line Clear Nasi Kandar is incongruously located in a narrow alleyway, near the junction of Penang Road & Chulia Street in downtown Georgetown. It's been serving nasi kandar at the same spot for nearly 70 years now. The place stays open 24 hours.
Standing near the large cauldrons of bubbling curries, one cannot help but be seduced by the delicious aromas of the various curries being cooked: mutton khurma, chicken curry, giant fish-heads curry, etc.

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendol
This tiny 70-year-old dessert stall is a Penang icon of sorts. Started just after WWII, it's famous for ONE item: chendol, a delicious Malaysian dessert of shaved ice with squiggly little green "chendol" noodles, red beans, coconut milk & brown sugar syrup. Thousands of Malaysian establishments all over the world offer this dessert - but this little stall must be one of the best in the world.

Lebuh Keng Kwee, Penang
