Food Court @ Esplanade

Are you looking for cheap food at one of a kind location? Then you should check out the food court at the Penang Esplanade. Smacked right in between the open space of esplanade and Fort Cornwallis; this place offers variety of Chinese and Malay dishes. This place is very crowded during weekdays' lunch time as many offices, law firms and banks are located in the vicinity. Its environment is very unique because it is situated right in between the two most popular tourist spots in Penang. The food court itself is very interestingly located underneath a huge old trees that shelter the place from the intense heat of the afternoon sun.

Greeting you at the entrance to the food court is the famous Fort Cornwallis.

As for the food, my recommendation is Hokkien Char (Hainanese fried egg noodle), Chicken Chop and Fish 'n' Chips. For drinks, you got to try out the Coconut Shake to cool off and refresh yourself on this hot tropical island. It is basically a coconut drink with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream on top. When the ice cream melt and blends in with the coconut drink, the mixture of taste is simply refreshing!

Hokkien Char (Hainanese Fried Egg Noodle and Bee Hoon) - RM4.20

Chicken Chop - RM7.50

Coconut Shake - RM2.50
