Sri Weld Food Court ★ 4.0

Street food$george-townMon-Sat, earliest stalls from 07:00 and most finished by 16:00; individual stalls vary, mornings are busiest

Sri Weld Food Court feeds Beach Street's office crowd from a shaded row of stalls, the weekday Penang lunch defined by Ali's nasi lemak queue.

Try: Nasi lemak, beef koay teow

Tip: Come before 13:00 on weekdays; the beef koay teow and deep-fried tofu make the best supporting order.

19 Lebuh Pantai, 10300 George Town, Penang

Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice ★ 4.2

Chinese$george-townMon-Tue, Thu-Fri 10:00-16:00; Sat 11:00-16:00; Sun 11:00-18:00; closed Wed

Goh Thew Chik has carved Hainanese chicken on Chulia Street for over 70 years, Penang's old-guard benchmark for every newer chicken-rice shop.

Try: Hainan chicken rice

Tip: The house chilli sauce is the differentiator; ask for extra and spoon it over the chicken-oil rice, not the meat.

Penang Famous Samosa ★ 4.2

Street food$little-indiaDaily 10:30-19:00

Penang Famous Samosa fries mutton, chicken, sardine and vegetable parcels at pocket-money prices on Queen Street, Little India's Michelin-listed snack stop.

Try: Samosas

45 Lebuh Queen, 10200 George Town, Penang

Super Star Koay Teow Soup ★ 4.3

Street food$george-townMon-Tue, Thu-Sun 17:00-23:00; closed Wed

Super Star Koay Teow Soup has run its Kimberley Street cart since 1960, a third-generation Bib Gourmand bowl that keeps Penang dinners under RM10.

Try: Koay teow soup with braised chicken feet

Tip: The braised chicken feet are the sleeper order; get them as a side even if the koay teow soup is your main.

78 Lebuh Kimberley, 10100 George Town, Penang

Ah Boy Koay Teow Th'ng ★ 4.2

Street food$george-townMon, Wed-Sun 07:00-14:00; closed Tue

Try: Koay teow th'ng

Tip: Try the dry-tossed version with the soup on the side; the springy tendon balls are the add-on worth the ringgit.

Roti Canai Transfer Road ★ 4.4

Malaysian$george-townMon-Sat 07:00-12:00; Sun 07:30-12:00; curry often gone by 11:00

Roti Canai Transfer Road has flipped flaky flatbread at its roadside stall for around half a century, Penang's definitive curry-flooded breakfast.

Try: Roti canai banjir

Tip: Ask for banjir, flooded with curry, and add a curried egg; go before 11:00 because the gravy pots empty first.
