A Foodie’s Guide to Penang
Penang has become one of the most exciting gastronomic hubs not only in Asia but the world. Penang—a western Malaysian state which is comprised of both an island and a portion of the mainland, is also home to a diverse mix of cultures, ethnicities and religions, and its cuisine draws from all those elements.
