Padang Kota Lama Food Court, Penang

Penang is called "Hawker's Paradise" for several reasons. The hawker are strongly supported by Penangites, who mostly find it easier and cheaper to eat out any time of the day or night. The ubiquitous ness of hawkers along the streets of Penang has been a delight for food lovers and a big headache for the municipal authorities for over a hundred years. It has begun in 19th century when Penang had a large transient male population from India, China and elsewhere in the archipelago.

Penang has become so renowned for its hawker food that “Penang Hokkien Mee , Laksa , Char Koay Teow , Sar Hor Fun” and the like are sold all over the region, especially in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur’s satellite town where there are colonies of penangites.

These are variety of foods we ate when we went to Restaurant Padang Kota Lama, Penang (Esplanade).
