Cecil Street Food Court — Restaurant in George Town

This place has a good variety of food selection available. This place can get quite busy and as it gets towards the afternoon, it is very warm. Some tips & highlights: Each stall would have their own specialised dishes and some with varieties. Orders are placed at each individual stalls and self service. A number of them accept cash only or sometimes electronic payment. Patrons can choose to sit anywhere where there is an available spot but there is an expectation to order drinks from the drink stalls operating nearby. Payment is typically by cash. Highlights for me from this market is the nyonya otak otak, angku kueh, and muar chee. The char kuey teow was alright from Barefoot Char Kuey Teow stall but the prawns were not too fresh and lup cheong was waxy (there is another separate detailed review i have done on this). Food is priced ok but portions of the different noodles I tried were very small in portions eventhough I ordered large It is easy to get a rideshare service from here but it can be pretty heavy traffic around the Cecil St Food Court. Stall operators are very friendly. It is a lot easier for folks to converse in Hokkien or Mandarin. Some can also converse in Cantonese and similarly, in English. The atmosphere is very rustic and authentic. No frills and no fancy decor; just your simple table & chairs for patrons to use.

The only thing to be aware is you may spot rats around. Some stallholders have rat traps around their stalls. So for any persons with a fear of rats, allergies to rats or worried bout the hygiene may need to reconsider...

A lot variety of local food you may choose. Craving for a dry wonton mee so I went here. So grateful to come here and just hit that spot. I love how the sauce is not too watery and not too thick and not too sweet either. just cook in perfection. Not to forget the wonton. They gave 1 dry and 1 boiled, so fresh crunchy and delicious. you may option to add more wontons. They also have option for dry and soup wonton mee.

There were a lot of sitting area, lots of fan but is an open door area and get ready to get a little bit of smoky smell for your clothes. They open at 7.30 and quite a lot of people have already coming to get their breakfast. Other stall like cake, ice cendol also there.

I ordered Martabak thin pan cake type filled with peanut and chocolate. not too sweet and so crispy. There were also lots of kuih basah, colorful and mouth watering.

Chay tao kue and some other stalls may be have a different time in starting their wok so just now when i went there they are not open yet. Also have other stalls that i didnt try yet like chee cheong fun and duck kway kiatheng. Maybe will come again in...

During our visit to one of Penang's renowned food courts, we were eager to explore the local flavours that the island is famous for. This food court is one of the most popular spots, highly recommended by locals and tourists alike, and it certainly lived up to the hype.

We ordered a wanton noodle, which was perfectly cooked with a satisfying combination of springy noodles, tender wantons, and a rich, savoury sauce. We tried the mixed veggie rice, a hearty and comforting dish that offered a great balance of flavours. The char kuey tiao was another highlight, stir-fried to perfection with the right balance of smokiness and flavour. To wash it all down, we had a cup of local coffee, which was strong and aromatic, the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Overall, the food exceeded our expectations, and each dish was a true reflection of Penang’s vibrant culinary scene. It’s no wonder this food court is such a popular destination – everything we tried was not only authentic but absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Penang’s...
