Jelutong Market — Local services in George Town

Good morning, today I came a bit earlier to buy some condiments to cook chicken curry. The place is not so bustling as a few months before because of the Covid virus, we have opened up a couple of weeks ago, only essentials. All the other ingredients my wife had stock up. Since it's now the starting of the fruit season, I purchased 2 boxes of "durians"which is my favourite fruit.(durians are, you know, the fruit is about the size of a coconut but this fruit have a lot of thony spikes on the outside,) so as a few people who have not tasted this fruit they say the smell is very pungent or so they say. Since this fruit is so popular in Malaysia,a lot of tourists will visit our country to savour this fruit. Get some information about this particular fruit and you'll understand. Anyway I went to buy some breakfast for my wife and myself, you know, in our country mostly we don't make breakfast for ourselves, not like, maybe in your country. So I will ride my m/bike to market because it's so convenient. Anyway the market is very popular among the people around the area, quite an abundance of market stalls are open and mind you we had the bout of the virus but since the population of Penang (my hometown) is obeying to the instructions of the authorities we were quite free from the containment so we were open up faster. Seems I have drag on too long so goodbye for now maybe we meet again. Thanks. Have a Pleasant...

A local market with many food and daily necessities options, you tiao was surprisingly good.

Notes for tourist: You can buy food from any stall and sit anywhere but for most market/coffeeshop in Penang, you are expected to buy a drink from them. Different drink stalls have their allocated area to sell their drinks and that’s why shortly after you take a seat, someone will approach you for drinks. The staff from drinks stalls are also in-charge of clearing your food/trash after you’re done which also ensure that the table are cleaned for the next customer. Anyway the drinks will usually cost less than 4rm so its really quite reasonable and this is just the way...

A popular market among locals & one of the island's biggest. Other than the main wet market, it is also a popular street market with numerous vegetable & fruit stalls & those selling clothes, kitchen gadgets & household items. The market, located at upper Jelutong, is also a hawker paradise with at least 10 kopitiam in the area. Keen competition has led to some of the best, affordable street food here with marketgoers having many good choices for favourites like char koay teow, wantan mi, hokkien mee and koay teow thng. The wet market has some 20 fishmonger stalls & separate sections for halal and non-halal meat. Best to visit early morning before...
