[2025 George Town Attraction] Travel Guide for Chulia Street (Updated Apr)

📍Chulia Hawker street food: Penang 🥢 At night, Penang has many street food streets and restaurants. Today, the hotel staff recommended that I eat Lok Lok, which is similar to shabu on a stick, boiled and eaten with delicious dipping sauce, or stir-fried noodles, desserts, shaved ice, and many drinking establishments. 🇲🇾 The market starts selling at 6 pm until late at night. There are many stir-fried noodles and dessert shops to choose from. 🫖 There are many tea shops where you can sit, drink, and chill. 👌🏻 #PenangTravel #TravelAbroad #TravelAbroadByYourself #BackpackTravel #gmmsdiary #TravelWithoutTour #Malaysia #Penang #malaysia #penang

Chulia Street Hawker is by far one of the most popular food stall streets in Penang. Any night that we walked by never failed to show how crowded it gets. They are famous on food blogs for their curry noodles, char kway teow and oyster omelette. Just an FYI before going there. There will be a lot of stalls seemingly trying to get you tables. But be warned that some of these tables are dedicated to certain stalls only. To be sure, sit at tables that are along the food stalls and not under shelter. Although not so famous, our favourite dishes from the night we went were the Mooping and Wanton Mee. The chef for the Wanton Mee (first pic) was so skilful with the way he mixed and stirred all the ingredients and sauces together with the noodles. It felt like he was actually whipping flavour into the noodles themselves. #penang #tripblazers #foodie #culture

Salam, and it is delighted to have an authentic Middle East cuisine to set foot in Penang. This restaurant situated at Chulia street, called Halab, is one of a kind as you can find many middle eastern cuisine on the menu, such as Hummus, Falafel, kebabs, shawarma, Mandi rice etc, coupled with middle eastern breads as well. The interior settings is also very unique, as though you are sitting within the Arabic building. Food is delicious especially the mixed grill and Mandi lamb rice. The hummus and lamb spring roll is also a hit. Price is a little at the higher side but it is worth it considering the taste of the food. Truly a good choice for a nice weekend dinner. #tripblazers

I was roaming around the George Town area for mural art hunting and taking picture, and I saw this lovely cafe and a bakery shop join together on busy Chulia street, closed to the infamous Love Lane . Great place to pop into for a coffee, croisant or pasta. I pick the latte, and it was good, the variance of the yoghurt is so interesting; I pick mango yogurt with walnut. Ohhh its so nice, something new to me. I should try Jackfruit yogurt with gula melaka too, maybe on my next trip to Penang again:) Big variety of cakes and bread, I ordered some pastries from the Rainforest bakery, so delicious. I love the ambiance here, is unique and so relax. Recommended! Address: 302, Chulia St, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang #createwithtrip #penang #penangtrip #malaysia #penangcafe #penangfood

Georgetown, Penang, was a delightful trip filled with charm and color. Strolling through its vibrant, cute lanes, I admired the lively murals and quaint shophouses, each telling a story of the city’s heritage. Chulia Street was a highlight, bustling with life and steeped in history. Its colonial-era buildings and fusion of cultures created an unforgettable atmosphere. Of course, I couldn’t leave without trying the must-eat char kuey teow. The smoky, wok-fried noodles with prawns and a hint of chili were simply divine. Georgetown’s mix of art, history, and incredible food made it a truly unforgettable experience. #penang #malaysia #georgetown #heritage

#100TravelTips After shopping, refuel by finding something to eat. Pin it at Julius Reet. What you will find is Lok Lok, Penang's signature street food on a stick. Here, we can grab whatever we want and dip it in the hot pot. Then, we can choose the sauce we like. There are four flavors. The most favorite is the satay sauce. It is very well made, fragrant and sweet with a peanut texture. The oyster omelet here is also good. The most famous shop is the noodle shop on the corner of the street. I asked the locals which shop is the best. They recommended this place. It is a noodle shop mixed with black sauce. The noodles are quite soft. While we are ordering, there may be many menus offered to us. Choose to eat as you like. If you play, you will gain weight.

#FuriTabi Hokkien mee is characterized by its rich shrimp-based soup. By simmering shrimp heads and shells for a long time, the shrimp flavor is concentrated, creating a soup full of depth and richness. Penang's Hokkien mee is a noodle dish that is especially popular in the state of Penang, Malaysia. In Penang, where there is a large Chinese population, Hokkien mee, a spicy noodle dish made with shrimp broth, is very popular.

Hello everyone, today is our first trip to Penang, Malaysia. Of course, when we come to Penang, we must try the famous street food, Lok Lok. The price is divided by the color on the stick. The way to order is to ask for a plate from the shop for 1 dish. Then, choose what we want to eat and dip it in the boiling pot (it's a mixed pot. If you're not comfortable with that, you can skip it). When it's cooked to the point that we want to eat it, pour the sauce over it. There are 3 types of sauces in total: seafood, sweet and salty. #Malaysia #Travelwithtrip2024 #Penang

#hotelreview A Budget Hotel Review. For this whimsical trip, i know that the hotel i will stay will essentially just for sleeping. And as a person that don't really like room mates i chose a hotel that have a solo room with bath; and i found one at Grand Swiss hotel. The rate for a night is around 25 SGD, which is within the budget. I got a room in the 2nd floor, with no window but it is doable. The aircon is cold, they got water heater and the beddings is clean. For the location, it was on Chulia street which is walking distance to all the tourist spots, and near KOMTAR as well (where you can alight from the Rapid bus 402E from the airport). I say, it's a decent hotel for those on budget and will just stay for a day or two and will always be out and about #hotelreview #budgethotel #Georgetown #Penang #Malaysia #2dayTrip #itinerary

Good food, good coffee and good vibe cafe resto in Chula Street. Yum food. Friendly staff. Located just opposite the Japandi-style Sleep Box Hotel. A half minute walk. Opposite this cafe is a Mee Tarik place. But for a good Columbian Brazilian latte, this is the place in Chula Street. Also don't forget to include Penang parks like Penang Botanic gardens and Bukit Dumbar. Btw, if you're looking for a parking, it's just next door. Or street park like a real Penangite 😉 #foodie #deliciousfood #penang

Set in one of the historical street in Georgetown, Sleep Box is a very comfortable Japandi-styled oasis in the busy street. Its location is perfect for first-time tourists or staycationers or even foodies. Close to the viral and popular restaurants, cafes and hawker stalls in Penang Road and the surrounding little streets. Hameediyah, Nasi Padang International, Roti Canai Transfer Road, Ais Tingkap and Cendol Teochew to name a few along with recently-renovated, more comfortable Bazar Chowrasta for classic souvenirs from Penang. Book. You will be in for a nice surprise 😊 #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie

The hottest restaurant in Penang these days is Harab Restaurant. The fact that it is a high-end Middle Eastern restaurant is special in Penang, and the demand seems to be increasing as the Muslim population increases. Since it is a high-end restaurant, the exterior is fancy and the interior is clean. I visited during Ramadan and only had the dinner buffet. It is said that this buffet style is popular because Muslims fast during Ramadan and eat a lot in the evening. The charm of Penang is that you can enjoy food from various cultures such as Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern. I recommend it to anyone who is going on a food tour. The difficulty level is higher than other foods. It is a buffet, but I barely ate 3 plates. It is oily, has a unique flavor, and is full of meat and dense bread, so it is very filling. Middle Eastern desserts are famous for being very sweet. Still, it is a place worth trying at least once. #MalaysiaTravel #RestaurantExploration #PenangRestaurant #Penang #PenangTravel #Malaysia #MalaysianRestaurant #MiddleEasternFood
