Penang is renowned for its street food culture. It is indeed a unique feature that is quite common throughout in Asia but not in the Western world. Perth has started to see the appeal of street food that there are food trucks allowed to do their business in the heart of the city on every Friday evening. It says in the travel brochure that people could experience the street food culture of KL in Perth. The statement shows how little the Aussies know about Malaysia because Penang is actually the undisputed street food capital of Malaysia!
Anyway, there are countless hawker stalls scattered throughout the island but most tourists only got introduced to a few popular ones such as Gurney Drive and Red Garden Food Paradise in Leith Street. The locals usually go to better places that offer value for money quality food such as the road side food stalls along Jalan Mount Erskine.
It is a makeshift mini hawker center by the roadside that sell variety of Penangites' favourite food. It is a good place to have some light meals during the day. People usually park along the service road in front of a row of terrace houses. Parking spots could be hard to find during peak hours.
