Penang Hawker Food has been rated as some of the best street food in the world due to the influence of traditional Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures. Walking the streets and seeing these amazing dishes being cooked roadside helps a person forget that the dishes are all being washed on the street corner and there is no refrigeration in the 90 degree heat. A delicious meal for about US$2 can be bagged up for takeaway or consumed roadside on plastic chairs and tables. Just watch out for the scooters speeding past! Mixed in with the hawker stands are street vendors selling ducks, pigs, chicken, fruits, vegetables, clothing and religious decorations and offerings. All of this is happening on both sides of a street while traffic is driving down the middle of the road!
