Unlike in Hong Kong or major Chinatowns around the world; it is not easy to find roast pork rice in Penang as it is originally a Cantonese dish while the majority of Penangites are Hokkien. However there is one such place in Penang where you can find roast pork and which I proudly say that its taste can rival that of Hong Kong. It is located at Sky Cafe along Chulia Street, the famous backpackers' street of George Town. It only does lunch and opens for business as early as 11.30am. If you go there after 1pm, chances are you might be disappointed as their roast pork may be sold out.
There is only one hawker stall at this cafe and that saves you a lot of trouble as to what to order. The must try items are roasted pork, char siu and roasted duck. As for the drinks, I recommend lemon juice wit sour plum (you order in Hokkien as lengmong sui)
This is the one place that I never fail to visit whenever I'm in town!
