Street food$air-itamTue-Sun 15:30-20:30; closed MonCash only

Air Itam Duck Rice braises duck with soy, anise and cinnamon beside the wet market under Kek Lok Si, Penang's Michelin-listed reward after the temple climb.

Try: Braised duck rice

Tip: Self-service style: take a tray, queue, and point at the braised pork belly and eggs too, not just the duck.

Air Itam Market ★ 4.4

Street food$air-itamDaily from early morning; laksa and duck-rice stalls run into the evening

Air Itam Market crowds the lanes under Kek Lok Si temple, the Penang wet market whose surrounding laksa and duck-rice stalls justify the trip.

Tip: Eat the famous laksa by the market steps, then queue for the duck rice from 15:30; both are Air Itam rituals.
