Signature dishes: Assam laksa, Laksa lemak
Tip: Order the assam and lemak versions side by side; comparing the sour and coconut broths is the point of the place.

Bee Hwa Cafe cooks halal versions of Penang's Chinese hawker canon on Lebuh Dickens, a Bib Gourmand family shop begun as a 1992 street stall.

Tip: This is where Muslim travellers get proper char kway teow; the chicken-and-seafood version sells out before 14:00.
Restoran Sup Hameed ladles mutton soup and oxtail sup ekor on Jalan Penang, the mamak soup counter Penang turns to when the day needs rescuing.

The Pinn hand-makes mackerel fish balls and dumplings opposite the Lee Jetty, a small Weld Quay room mixing Penang, Taiwanese and Indonesian bites.

Tip: Add noodles to the fish-ball soup to make it a meal, and get the dumplings pan-fried rather than boiled.
Kheng Pin Cafe is the morning kopitiam on Jalan Penang whose loh bak stall, five-spice pork rolls fried in beancurd skin, draws half of George Town.
Signature: Loh bak, Wanton mee
Tip: Claim a table with drinks first, then order loh bak from one stall and wanton mee from another; come in the morning, it winds down by 13:30.
Rasa Rasa keeps daytime hours on Chulia Street Ghaut, pairing pandan nasi lemak sets with Bib Gourmand prices rare even by Penang standards.
Signature: Pandan nasi lemak combo, Nyonya kuih
Tip: It is a lunch room, not a dinner one; come before 14:30 and add the day's kuih to whatever combo you order.
