This year's Hungry Ghost Festival falls between 7th Aug until 4th Sep. It is a yearly event which is celebrated in a grand scale in Penang. It is believed that the Gates of Hell will be opened during this period and all the imprisoned spirits and ghosts are given a month long holiday to come up from the nether world into our world roaming freely. I would rather believe that the food in Penang is so great that they have to rise up and have a taste of the street foods of George Town. Makeshift altars will be erected overnight in various places around the city together with the culturally rich staged opera performances to entertain the spirits.
Even the ghost are convinced that Penang is indeed the food capital of Malaysia, then what are you waiting for? Make your way to Penang this weekend and enjoy what the city has to offer to you!
