Some said the Kek Lok Si Temple is a must visit place if you are in Penang. Not quite for me! We were just 5 minutes walk away from the Kek Lok Si Temple at the Air Hitam Market. Instead, we opted to try the well known Penang Laksa from the market! It is a roadside stall along Pasar Road, can be easily spotted. The Air Hitam Asam Laksa is so popular that often there is no empty table and seat; you have to wait for your turn to be served even if you manage to grab a seat.
Penang Laksa is a variant of Asam Laksa, which is very different from Sarawak Laksa. Asam is the Malay word for tamarind, which fruit pulp is edible and often used in Malay cuisine to give sour flavor. The Air Hitam Asam Laksa comes with thick rice noodles in mackerel soup featuring tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked. Together with other ingredients which include lemongrass, galangal, chili, pineapple slices, onion slices and thick sweet prawn paste, the Asam Laksa gives a distinct sweet, sour and spicy flavor.

My bowl of Asam Laksa
After waiting for some 5 minutes, our Penang Asam Laksa came! I finished mine but my dear wife only ate half of it. She did not like it! It seems that not everyone likes its distinct flavor. In fact, some say the best Asam Laksa in Penang is in Balik Pulau, while others will tell you it is in Air Hitam. I am not here to judge because I have not tasted the Balik Pulau Asam Laksa yet. Tell us your preference if you had tried both, please…
Air Hitam Asam Laksa
My verdict: I do not particularly like the Air Hitam Asam Laksa, I still prefer my Sarawak Laksa, haha!
So dun chiong anyhow, not all famous hawker foods are from Gurney here.
as like Penang Chendol.
Stall selling here are not origenated from here at Gurney hawker centre.
Where...Teochew Chendol that is famous..

Yes, the famous Penang Road Cendol. I've heard people saying that your trip to Penang would never be complete without trying the famous Penang Road Cendol. I'm sure you are reading this now because you want to know, is it that good? How does it look like? How can I get there? Or just want to reminiscence the time you had it yourself.
Well, it just looks like any ordinary cendol. It contains the usual cendol jelly, santan, brown sugar and kidney beans. And of course crushed ice. WIth me staying in Penang, I usually go there whenever I'm nearby. I have to say that it is quite good. I feel that its quality is inconsistent, but that could be due to factors such as weather and my thirst the time I eat it. The ingredients they use are quite fresh. I would recommend it to visitors to Penang to try it out. Besides cendol, they have Ais Kacang (ABC) which is pretty good as well. It contains crushed ice, the usual colouring and flavouring (syrup, evaporated milk), corn, "cin cau", some type of green jelly, and of course red kidney beans (kacang). The also serve some drinks, which I only remember them to be chrysanthemum, some leafy plant (which is said to give a cooling effect on a hot day), and a pink drink with jelly. I need to find out what they are.
Ais Kacang
There are 2 stalls located opposite to each other. Both claim to be the "Famous" Penang Road Cendol, but you can easily tell the "more" famous one. It is located beside Joo Hooi restaurant. The crowd can get really big on certain days, such as long holiday weekends, school holidays, or just a hot afternoon. Please note that you can have the cendol inside the restaurant, but you need to pay a surcharge of RM0.50 per bowl.
On a less busy day
Phua Chu Kang was here
How to get there: It is located on Lebuh Keng Kwee, off Penang Road. It is a walking distance from Komtar and Prangin Mall. The landmark I can describe best is the 5-branch overhead pedestrian bridge. If you can't find it, just ask anyone and I'm sure they can point you right to it. Parking can be a little bit difficult. I suggest that you find any parking spot along Penang Road or near Komtar and walk.
Price (as of Sept 2007): The sign on the stall says that they have branches inside Giant outlets at Plentong Johor Jaya (Johor), Ulu Klang and Subang Jaya (Selangor) Update on 9th Dec 2007: I have included a map to show the directions to the stall, plus some places to park your car

So Penang Hokkien mee, the same old story not from Gurney Food Center again.
Locals told us here.
January 31, 2012 by admin · 6 Comments | [5,308 views]
Penang is already famous for its street food and many other hawkers center are famous to outstation crowd and some are famous among the locals, as once the word spread, the hawker center will enjoy brisk business. One of the hidden gem for Hokkien Mee that I have been hunting for the past few months that often close and now they have reopen back is this 888 Hokkien Mee Stall which is located on Lebuh Presgrave (Sah Tiau Loh – in hokkien means 3rd street) which is one of a famous hokkien mee (prawn noodle) stall among the locals.
This street is very near to 1st Avenue mall which is like 2-3 streets away from the mall that if you plan to walk here from 1st Avenue, it takes about 10 minutes walk. This hawker center area is located the same street with Kwang Hwa newspaper factory.
This is the street hawker center of Sah Tiau Loh (三æÂ�¡è·¯å°Â�è´©ä¸å¿ƒ) which many kind of food to offer with the corner shop is a coffee shop that host many hakwer stalls and those that spill over to the road side. Some of the street hawker food unable to serve food into the coffee shop due to some conflict. It is best you ask them before you order if you are seated inside the coffeeshop.
Well, anyone of you heard about the recent competition of Hokkien Mee in Penang? It was held at Times Square on December 2011 that  Penang Best Hokkien Mee stalls in the state were spotted and came by to compete to emerge the best as these were voted by the public.  888 Hokkien Mee emerge as crowd favorites and won the best in this catagory (click here for The Star News also to spot top 3 hokkien mee stalls in Penang) I am not sure that the winner of 888 hokkien mee is the same as this or not as they mention near Sunshine Square. and this is at Town area but to me still the same name and take it as another branch. 
Before the wont this category, this stall had already been very famous among neighborhood and since when I was a kid I came by to eat with my grandfather and recently been craving for it so bad and manage to get my satisfaction. In the order you can choose to add on some ingredient like pork ribs, intestine, and others.
You can add on some ‘siew Yuk’ too but the siew yuk for the day not so nice.
This is how cramp the place look like that solely sole for Hokkien Mee only. To get a spot is pretty fast as the turn over per table is quite quick.
This is my order of Hokkien Mee @ RM 3
Why is it one of my favorite is definitely because of the soup base, its sweet with prawn taste and know that its cook along with prawn shells also, not only that its also cook along with pork bones and meat that make it so nice. It is serve along with small prawns that cook inside the soup for long time and some pork. I wanted to add on some pork ribs and other ingredient was sold out.
It is best advise to go before 10.30pm as most of their add on ingredients get sold out very very fast.
Pricing of add ons:
Normal Noodle @ RM3
In front of the Hokkien Mee stall comes this very busy Wan Tan Mee Stall also. I see alot of people flock on this stall and decided to give it a try too . . .
I was sitting there for 45 minutes, and this guy was so busy for 45 minutes and its non stop action. I forgot to take the picture of Wan Tan Mee but I find it nothing much to shout about as the unique is the noodle which is just a bit springy as I have better ones in other coffee shop in Penang.
Overall, if you are in Penang to hunt for very nice Hokkien Mee (prawn Noodle) this is one of the stall highly recommended by me, as during CNY holiday I came here 3 times. .

Yes, we really went there, yes, no table and the crowd.
So again Mr James Wong connection, we went to Penang Hokkien Mee stall.
Same old story related to him again, his wife family business.
An old coffeshop a row of shophouse, never mind we going over to Butterworth by ferry, so a bit rush. Ok we decided to take his offer.
So as before his uncle the durian seller also related to him.
So this is how Penang people do business.
Mr James Wong is not a tour guide from Georgetown,
he just engaged by us an hour MYR 45 by using his private owned van,
at least you need to engage him 4 hours standard arrangement .
He will bring you at your request to anywhere you like,
as like this durian below, we wanted to go to those source that we knew before we went.
but due to time matter we decided to go to his connection as fast as possible.
.
His uncle roadside stall selling durian also not bad, he do carried those quality durains.
You named it he got it, how original we are not sure, but we loved it, the quality and the price also good. (Penang Durian) for sure.
