A George Town mamak institution on Jalan Argyll, open late and beloved for one thing above all: some of the best Maggi goreng in Penang — wok-fried instant noodles piled with egg, fried chicken and sambal heat. It’s cheap, fast and busy, the fluorescent-lit, plastic-chair kind of place where students, night owls and taxi drivers rub shoulders over supper. A proper taste of Penang’s Indian-Muslim street-food scene.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Penang Plates food tour with 15+ tastings.
