Penang
Penang is well-known as one of the top destination in the country for food. The "Pearl of the Orient" boasts a mix of traditional Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Peranakan cooking to form a flavour that's truly Penang. In fact, Penang has been repeatedly recognised as one of the best culinary destinations by various travel media and for good reason.
When in Penang, don't miss the local nasi kandar which have their own flavour thanks to the spices used. Other must-eats include char kuey teow, asam laksa, hokkien mee (served with thick, clear broth instead of dark sauce like in Klang Valley), fried oyster omelettes, and mee goreng sotong.
