Chowrasta Market is George Towns oldest wet market, a bustling two-storey hall and its surrounding streets where traders sell fresh produce, dried goods, spices, preserved fruits, nutmeg products and local snacks. A sensory immersion in everyday Penang life, it is also a great place to buy edible souvenirs such as tau sar pneah biscuits and pickled nutmeg. Browsing its crowded stalls offers an authentic taste of the citys commercial and food culture.
