There are some incredible foods in Malaysia, and many of the dishes can be found all over the country, but we’ve discovered that Penang is a little special. The street food in Penang is quite unique compared to the rest of the country, with many popular Malaysian foods done different ways here.
As we ventured out to explore the unique street food in Penang, we tried a number of traditional and different dishes of Malaysian food. From char koay kak and lor mee, to duck kway chap and lau sa bao (salted egg custard bun), we had a huge food adventure today through the unique streets of Penang. The most popular food in Penang can be found at hawker stalls and small shops on the sides of the roads, so it’s always important to keep your eyes peeled so you don’t miss the best street food in Malaysia.
We ended our street food tour of Malaysia getting to watch the preparation and cooking of the traditional bamboo pole wonton noodles. These traditional bamboo pole wonton noodles are made in a special and old-style way that is hard to find in Malaysia nowadays. The making of the bamboo wonton noodles was so unique, and the taste of them even better! It was so nice to witness the traditional bamboo pole wonton noodles get made.
We hope you enjoy seeing some of the unique street food in Penang, such as the traditional bamboo pole wonton noodles. Stay tuned for our next street food tour of Malaysia!

Hey everyone!
Have you ever visited George Town, Penang? Would you rather eat wet or dry noodles?
Thanks for watching! ☺️🧡
Love it❤❤
In melaka, otak otak is grilled
Your ass must be hurting after riding the bamboo
I prefer dry wanton noodles
👏👏👏👏👏
You can get otak otak in a lot of places in Malaysia and Singapore but I think only the nyona version is steamed others are grilled over charcoal.
You didn't try other dim sum items? Salted egg buns has been a recent craze especially in Singapore…actually a lot of places sell it but not all have the orange coloured buns (prefer naturally white though).
I am going to eat Loh Mee as breakfast tomorrow 😋
May we request food videos to be posted before lunch instead of after dinner? For obvious reasons…
Haven't tasted Nasi Kandar in Penang yet???
Looks really good & Yummy! Awesome!! 😍😋
I think u should try this Penang Char Hor Fun,no 10, Kampong Malabar,Georgetown.
Love it
What an amazing and delicious video!! We wished we were there with you guys. The food looked fantastic. The duck noodles and wonton noodles are our favourite. It was so fun and interesting to see the master making the noodle the old traditional way. Keep up the great work ❤
Bamboo noodles for sure !!
😄😄😄👍 Chris try riding the bamboo dough machine, how do you feel.?
Enjoy your Penang trip.
😋😄👍
I think the video added 2000 calories to my day 😁 It all looked awesome . Thank you for sharing …
amazing video bro 😋😎
Love your videos. Have you been to air itam areas. There are some good hawkers like asam laksa. Thank you for making us hungry.
Yeah the lor mee Ingredients are the same as the prawn mee ( Hokkien mee in Penang), the difference is the broth. Some sellers will sell both lor mee and Hokkien mee. I sometimes will order mixed lor+Hokkien mee. So yummy.
The kuay chap's egg is braised in the broth.
I was in Georgetown for 3 days. How the F*** i missed so may foodie places…
wow you have amazing and look yummy street foods in your country
Afiyet olsun.
bro…been following u for a month of your malaysia video…u almost eat all your way in msia…and you seems not putting on weight…tht really amazing….
Cheng Tong Wanton Noodle Soup! Nice!
You guys indeed made me hungry😋 All those are my favorite yummylicious food. Enjoy😘
Duck noddle look good
View Street food at Sarawak also..here also mny unique Street food n popular food
Wonder whether you had tried Nyonya food. There is one restaurant serving very good nyonya food…Jason Nyonya Restaurant at 10b Lebuh King, Georgetown. I always visited this nyonya restaurant whenever I visited Penang.
Only in Malaysia U can eat stir fried Rice cake like that
i wish can meet u guys but i just left penang for kuala lumpur, and yeah penang has unlimited street food to try 🤣
Duck noodles is really really one of a kind
Great video, Sir & Ma’am. I have been living in London for more than 4 decades. Can’t see how the 4 or 5 dishes in your video can been beaten by any of the restaurants in U.K.! Thank you. Certainly will be to the shops both of you have been when back in Malaysia.👍
At first, I thought is carrot cake but is rice cake with the same ingredients of Char Kuay Teow to Char Kuay Kak. I had Lau Sha Bao in Dim Sum and Tai Tong Restaurant made it so special for Steph. Kimberly Restaurant must be specialized TeoChew Style of marinated meats/ducks. Most of its flavor came from the gravy of the Hainan Lor Mee. The fish cake wrapped in banana leaf almost looks like Uni-Sea Urchin. I would get the mango gelato as well. I had pretty much the same Bamboo Pole Wonton Noodles when I last visited Sham Shui Po in HK. It's a good exercise as well to strengthen the thigh riding on that huge bamboo pole. Duck Kway Chap is my most favorite here.
The salted egg custard buns and the gelato look so delicious!!
Such an interesting video, especially the making of the noodles!
Next time eat loh mee should ask for the vinegar garlic paste/sauce that to mix into the soup. I prefer more of the garlicky sourness but some people prefer less so up to you to add in. Sometime they also use dark vinegar.
Malaysia has such great food and friendly people. Currently in Penang for the next few days. 🥰
Only one wonton in the bowl of wonton noodles?
Wow! Watching from Down Under(Australia) I am hungry and excited already. Interesting selection of food.
selection of your food n the place to visit very good , hope by end of your visit in malaysia do a good summary .
Great video. All my favorite food in Penang. Amazing. Thanks for sharing
