List of to Visit Places in Penang

So there are always new places to try, especially to eat.

But I’ve noticed that because many of them are stalls with varying times of the day they are open, I haven’t been very effectively at going to them. Especially since in this heat, walking from one location to another is burdensome, I have to be very precise in where I am heading, versus my normal MO of heading in the general neighborhood and then walking.

So this is my first attempt at trying to put some sense and order to where I’m trying to go by breaking them down into times (morning, afternoon, and night):

Quick review

The char siew was alright. I also tried the roast pork and duck. Nothing incredible. I prefer Sky Hotel better.
