The street food in Malaysia is unparalleled, and one of the best cities to experience the amazing flavours, tastes, and smells of the country is in Penang. We started our street food tour in Penang, Malaysia, at a shop that’s been around for over 120 years making handmade biscuits, the most popular of which is their coconut tart. We were blown away by the time and effort that goes into making this delicious and popular Penang food.
We continued our street food tour in Penang, Malaysia, trying out the best street food in Penang, like oh-jian, the famous Penang asam laksa, and the popular and famous cendol. These street foods in Penang are so strong in flavour, we couldn’t believe how tasty everything was!
To finish off our street food tour in Penang, Malaysia, we tried one of the most popular foods in Penang, char kuey teow. Char kuey teow is one of the best street foods in Penang, potentially one of the best street foods in Malaysia! With rich flavours and each portion cooked fresh to order, this delicious Malaysian street food is not to be missed on your next trip to Penang.
We hope you enjoy our street food tour in Penang, Malaysia, trying the famous Penang asam laksa and char kuey teow, along with some more of the best street food in Penang. There will be more Malaysian street food tours here in Penang, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great day! What's your favourite noodle dish? Thanks for watching! ☺️🧡

[@malarselvi455]

My all time favourite is the very famous ipoh's taugey chicken koay tiau.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

@@malarselvi455 mmmmm good choice!

[@peterwg725]

CHEUNG FUN. Esp the hole in the wall in HONG KONG . With the peanut butter sauce.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Oooo that sounds delish!

[@soulman3790]

Assam laksa. Then char kuay tiow. Then Chee Chiong Fun. Mmmm. Fried Hor Fun. Try this, Hungry Two Travel..called Sar (or Char) Hor fun!

[@wok-onbai538]

I'll be leaving US for PG in a few weeks... it'll be a foodie heaven on the cheap. Definitely try the mamak mee goreng, pasembur, nasi kandar and murtabak. And the varieties of nyonya kuih. Also the Chinese wanton mee, kuay chap and Penang version of chee cheong fun. Bon appetit. Oh, don't forget a nice cold sugarcane juice.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Such a foodie heaven, you've named some delicious dishes, and there are just so many to choose from, the sky's the limit!! Enjoy your trip, we hope you have fun and eat loads of amazing foods 😊🤤

[@simplyme3306]

The noodles in assam laksa is called lai fun. The sourness mainly comes from the tamarind and even sour/unripe pineapples. Lemongrass is more give it a citrus fragrance/flavour not much of sourness. Lemongrass is a common ingredient in most of the curries and chili paste. That brown sugar is called gula melaka. It's actually different from palm sugar if you are to ask for it and buy it from shops. I miss Penang food! The popular stalls were soooo crowded last time. DId you try the chee cheong fun? In Penang,theirs are served with prawn paste. Also Penang rojak. Love Penang Char Kway Tiao, it is the best version.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We love it too!! So good. There's so much amazing food in Penang, you're right. We have a few more videos here, so stay tuned ;) Thanks again for watching and your awesome comments!!

I feel Penang and Melaka Have the best Chendol cause they use good fresh coconut milk and nice gula Melaka

[@HungryTwoTravel]

So true, the cendol was so tasty, perfect way to cool off on a hot day

[@soulman3790]

Yes, Melaka like Penang have nice 'Nonya' food!

[@raymondng18]

Lucky that the uncle making the pastry speaks Cantonese as most Prnangites Chinese speak Hokkien(Southern Min) dialect or Mandarin

[@HungryTwoTravel]

You're very right! Usually it is Hokkien, it was wonderful that he also spoke Cantonese, it was great to be able to communicate😊 and learn about their tarts and history

[@andrewchong2616]

Many Chinese in Georgetown area speaks Cantonese..

[@emeraldgem0357]

It's because the majority of the people are Hokkien and the other races just pick it up to communicate. There are even some Malays and Indians who speak Hokkien too.

[@magrinbarrie2446]

kuay teow is one of those dishes that rarely goes wrong.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

It's so amazing, we are in noodle love 😍

[@DBS9912]

I used to travel to Penang last two years, so many beautiful places but I didn't try local foods 'cause I was going to KL. I am going to travel Penang next year :) with love ❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭

[@HungryTwoTravel]

That's amazing, we hope when you travel next year you can try some of the delicious local foods of Penang. There's really so much to choose from so you'll never get bored! Thanks for watching, Deep Blue Sea.

[@kurlexchoi]

Glad they've made it in Penang. 1st time I see Coconut Tart topped with Walnut Biscuit is a must try. Oyster pancake/omelette also one of Taiwanese famous street foods. Assam Laksa Steph had didn't had coconut milk in the broth. They finally got to my favorites Cendol that green jelly actually called pandan noodles and is refreshing dessert, and Char Kuey Teow of course and they also added green chive in there as well.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks for the comment Hing-Cheong! Yes we made it to Penang :) The coconut tart is a must try, it was incredibly flaky and moist, so delicious. We loved the cendol as well as the char kuey teow, just scrumptious. Thanks for watching!

[@soulman3790]

Mungbean sprouts n chinese chives are a must in char kuey tiow. I spell it 'tiow' instead of 'teow' as written locally for foreigners to pronounce it easily. Like i write for Americans 'wonton' instead of local 'wantan' to facilitate their pronouncing!

[@peterwg725]

You’re a brave lady to try all these unknown food. Enjoy

[@HungryTwoTravel]

You've got to try everything AT LEAST once 😉

I haven’t been back to Malaysia in 20 years. I stayed there for a month and boy I gained a lot of weight from all the eating. No Petronas tower yet. 😊

[@HungryTwoTravel]

It's hard not to resist isn't it!? The food is just so good, and after 20 years, you definitely deserved some treats😉 thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@soulman3790]

It is cucumber not zucchini in the Laksa..there is torch ginger, a kind of pink flower bud in the ginger family. There is usually fresh pineapple too. The noodles are different from regular rice noodles. It is glutinous rice noodles. No gluten as in wheat gluten..dunno why they call it that. But a different type of sticky rice.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yes, the noodles are so nice and chewy!! Loved them :)
