Things To Do

Chew Jetty (water village)

Located on the waterfront of Penang, it is a community built by the Chew clan who were Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. It is now known for its markets, food attractions along the wooden walkways with stilted houses. This living village heritage on stilts is one of Julie's top recommendations when visiting Penang.

Northam Beach Cafe (street food market)

With sunset views, sea breezes, and live music in the evenings, it is a popular open-air seaside food court where locals and tourists gather to enjoy a wide variety of Malaysian hawker dishes, seafood, Thai, Indian, and Western international options. Gurney Drive, New Lane, Chulia Street, and Kimberly Street are also all popular street food markets as well!
