Affordable and tasty food at Chulia Street. It was very crowded and cars still use the road even as people were eating along the streets. Not the most hygienic of places, but you get to try authentic local food. We tried the wanton mee, char koay teow and oyster omelette. The wanton mee at the entrance of the street certainly did not disappoint. Spent only RM31 there and had a really good meal for two. However, there was a lot of touting and the vendors were telling everyone that they have to order a drink or they are not allowed to sit at the tables. Not sure if that is true - but generally, anyone is allowed to sit anywhere they want even though they may not order from the stall right in front of them.

Every time that i came to Penang, i headed for the Chulia Street area almost right away. There is so much local food here and the food here is so diverse as well. For those who like to have a beer etc there are a couple of bars and cafes in this area as well. I am sure that almost traveler to Penang had visited this area. Nice👍👍👍

A stroll along Lebuh Chulia offers the real, first-hand experience of Penang. George Town's busiest street is full of temples, historic buildings and popular eateries. The rows of old, sometimes rundown shophouses form the essential Penang landscape.

Chulia St itself has high traffic volume so if you are picking a hotel right on Chulia st make sure the windows are double glazedif the traffic doesn’t keep you awake the doof doof at the bars will. The area is great for eating out, all varieties, all price brackets from st food to casual bars to fine dining. Visiting the old mansions is a must. Allow 3 days

The best hawker food spot! So much to choose from. Grab a drink and a table and the stalls will bring your food when it's ready, then pop out and choose some more. A great spectacle too watching the vendors cooking
