Penang has some of the best street food in Malaysia. Amongst the foods to eat in Penang, Malaysia, is the rich and unique king of fruits, durian! Durian is a Malaysian specialty and is grown on Penang Island itself, making it not just a Malaysian specialty, but a local specialty too. Durian has a very interesting taste and an incredibly different flavour unto itself, it’s dubbed the king of fruits for a reason, and the durian in Malaysia is no joke... Malaysian's love their durian!
There’s so much Malaysian hawker street food in Penang that is a must try, so we continued our Malaysian street food tour looking for the best and most popular food in Penang. We tried some incredible Malaysian Indian street food, roti jala with a very spicy chicken curry, and the delicious koay teow th’ng from a local hawker.
It was a must try for us to go to a night market and see what kind of Malaysian hawker street food in Penang, Malaysia, there was to eat. Our last stop on our Malaysian street food tour was to try Penang curry mee, a spicy and creamy unique noodle dish from a classic street hawker cart in Penang.
We hope you enjoy us eating some must try Malaysian hawker street food in Penang, Malaysia, eating the king of fruits… durian, as well as some incredible hawker food that gives Penang its foodie name!

Hey everyone!
Have you ever tried durian before? Do you like it, or hate it, or LOVE it? Let us know below!
Thanks for watching! ☺️🧡
I love durian n even like the smell! It is aromatic n appetising to me!
Yes! But we forgot and left it in a hot car it got angry! To me it tasted like vanilla-grapefruit pudding, very smooth. Not at all likr it smelled just a few minutes before in the hot car.
We absolutely love it!!! We can literally have it every day 🤤
@@soulman3790 We completely agree, it's such a delicious fruit, and such a specialty as well, we are seriously in love😋🤤
@@philkearny5587 🤣That's hilarious Phil! At least leaving it in the hot car didn't do anything to the taste, your durian sounds delish!
Street food is the best!! Nice to see more Malaysian goodies on this tour, everything looks delicious. Hope you two are having a great summer 🤍
Thanks so much for the comment Lyndsay! There's so many tasty Malaysian goodies in Georgetown, we're in heaven😄
Amazing video guys!!! You made our mouths water with that super creamy delicious durian. Can’t wait to eat it again. We also loved roti jala with that beautiful chicken curry. It looked pretty spicy 🌶 We are loving your Malaysian street food series and we can’t wait for another adventure next week. Thanks a lot for your hard work ❤️
You would have loved the durian! Wish we could have mailed you some😄 Thank you so much for your comment and support guys 🧡 it means so much to us
Thanks for liking Malaysia and i hope you all have a good memories in Malaysia ! 😘😘😘 bye...lah 🙋
Thanks Yoke, we love Malaysia! Such a wonderful country, amazing people and delicious food, what's not to like ;) thanks so much for watching!!
I’m amazed by your right choice of foods and that made the great different. Both of you expressed exactly what these foods flavour are and that is another unexpected surprise. Some stalls may be very popular but not necessarily great due to social media influence.
Welcome to Malaysia.
Thank you so much for your welcome and comment! We've really enjoyed the unique dishes of Penang, and can't wait to share more with you! Thanks for watching Ah Kin Choong 😊
I love roti jala ( means net bread)..have made it myself too. I once found an Indian muslim stall at Padang Brown al fresco food court calling it 'roti sorai'. But generally it is called roti jala. Made from plain wheat flour, coconut milk n turmeric powder ( giving it yellow colour). A Malay stall i ate at long ago had pandan juice to batter, making it greenish.
We loved the roti jala as well, such a nice taste and texture, and perfect for dipping ;) adding pandan to it works be very interesting, we'd love to try one like that!
@@HungryTwoTravel So far i only had that once many years back, from a Malay stall at the Esplanade. It didnt look appealing the greenish colour n they were served cold Not hot
Warmest welcome to Penang Georgetown ya.I love to see and watch all the videos 🤍. Eager to meet you both of you.
Thank you so much! Penang is an incredible city 😄 people and food!
Those mini pancakes look delicious! Pandan, sweet corn, coconut and banana - can’t beat those fillings. 🤤
We totally agree, they were so tasty!! Probably the pandan brown sugar coconut was our favourite 😋😉
Steph was so funny doing the chicken dance in front of the rooster on the all.haha
🤣🤣🤣 so glad you enjoyed that😄
*Greetings from Turkey my friend* 👏👋
Greetings Emre! Thanks for watching :)
Definitely Durian Penang is the best. Amazing video there and now am carving for durian..lol. Btw u guys should try Pak Tam Mee Udang ( noodles with sweet and spicy soup or fried noodles served with fresh prawn, squid or crab) near to the cleanest beach in Penang which is at Pantai Bayu, Teluk Kumbar. The seller which is Pak Tam is the fisherman there and definitely the food there is amazing, fresh and so cheap!!! Untouched paradise of Penang! Bonus part it's near to the Penang international airport.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jeva! We hope you get your durian fix😄
Brave Dudes and Dudess Steph bouquets for trying Durians. If you like it, I will buy you more in Petaling Jaya. Promise.
😄 thanks Peter! We honestly loved it, so delicious and such an interesting fruit, we would have it again for sure!!!
You two make a lovely great couple!
👫 😊
You guys makes so hungry that we want to drive up to Penang.
You should! We love the food in Penang so much, so many choices and delicious unique dishes 🤤
Kajang satay or skewers in Kajang is the best, durian Musang king is one of the best in the world. Malaysia is a truly Asian and food paradise!!
Yes!! It truly is, the food here is amazing, were are loving every bit 🤤
Great video sir
Thanks for watching!! 😊
รับชมย้อนหลังคะ คิดถึง
Great vlog as always. Think what put people off with durian is its texture. The flavor is not bad
We agree, the flavour is so good, we think it's a combo of that with the smell, some people seem to really dislike it but we don't find it that pungent
We love the texture. Call it a "custardy" fruit.
@@soulman3790 Yes me too. I really like the texture. But most tourists gets put off from the smell and texture because they were not expecting it. They should be explained properly before eating so first time eaters know what to expect. Outer casing holding in the sweet custardy goodness.
@@blardymunggas6884 i recall when i was 6 y.o., durian was brought back home. I was turned off by the smell but my family persuaded me to try a mouthful. So i held my breath then took a mouthful..i got hooked on the taste n began breathing after that. From that moment onwards i never minded the smell too! That was 61 years ago.
@@soulman3790 nice. Durian is truly the king of fruit.
Best food in Asia.
So good, right!?
My son would love the pandan pancake!!!
It was so good!! Very unique and so tasty 😋
My travel tour guide said Musang King is top durian in Malaysia and I don't know if they have that type of fruits or not. That roti is like shredded crepes dipped in red curry chicken. They've prepared the bowl of Teochew Rice Noodle Broth. I like satay skewers, some of the hawker stalls have pork liver with the glazed. I would like the pandan coconut flavor mini pancake with brown sugar than the rest. Glad he ended his night market with Curry Mee similar to Assam Laksa.
The pandan coconut was our favourite as well! The curry mee was the perfect end to our big day, overall a street food success!! Thanks for watching :)
Roti jala literally translate to bread shape like a net. Jala is net in Malay language.
Yes! You're right, and it looks just like one 😄 it's the perfect name
The Chinese hawker selling you the curry noodle was asking you whether the dish looks nice or not (Leng mou?) but you didn't seem to catch what she said. It not only taste delicious but looks nice as well.
Ah yes we didn't catch that at the time! It definitely looks nice that's for sure😊
You should try curry laksa , take a cab to Taman Cheras , inform cab uncle drop you at the 7-elevan , it just somewhere around the corner road side next to the coffee shop ... That is power 😘✌️✌️👍👍
Thanks for the suggestion Hing!
Malaysian has the best food in the world 😁👍
Such incredible food!! We totally agree ☺️
You know meaning of roti jala in english its call net (jala)roti (bread)
Yes!! Which is amazing because that's exactly what it looks like😄
Welcome to Malaysia guys! Just wanted to say that the "curry" you had with the roti jala didn't really look like curry. It looked like ayam masak merah, which means red cooked chicken. That's why it was spicier than you expected.
Hey Redzuan! That actually makes a lot of sense, it had quite a different flavour and definitely surprised us with how spicy it was!! Thanks for letting us know, we appreciate it😊
Ayam masak merah is a type of curry too! With tomato puree n chilli powder. I am Malaysian Penangite. Definition of curries has to be wider in compass..there are also green n yellow ( dhal) n white curry (korma). Also indian n other malay Red ( very hot) dry curries.
If there's no curry powder, it's not curry. Calling everything curry is also wrong. It's just a lazy way to simplify the different gravies us Malaysians have to foreigners.
@@redzuankamaruddin6648 nope, i am an avid amateur cook whose food many have Praised greatly. I have studied many recipes even from India n Chinese curries. Chinese Nonya chicken curry has no curry powder but freshly ground spices. Chinese dont use curry powders but fresh ground spices for different curries. (I am an exception among chinese, i use curry powders for my curries as it is more convenient n more economical.) Who is to say they are not curries? I am well aware of the great varieties of delicious Malay n Indian n Mamak curries available in Malaysia!
@@redzuankamaruddin6648 Your pointing out it is Ayam masak merah is good.
Nice
😊😊😊
I miss the kuey teow tng at balik pulau market in the evening. Best I had ever tasted.
Oh yum, we really enjoyed it, such a tasty bowl 🤤
Underrated comfort food.
Durian is a Super Food.
Supports Heart Health - Durian contains monounsaturated fats and these can reduce bad cholesterol and alleviate risks of heart disease and stroke. The fruit also contains potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.
Improves Relaxation - One of the chemicals in durian is tryptophan, which the body uses to produce serotonin, the neurotransmitter is known as the “happy” chemical since it improves mood and produces relaxation. The body also uses tryptophan to produce melatonin, a hormone that contributes to a better night’s sleep.
Boosts Immunity - Durian contains high levels of vitamin C, an antioxidant that plays an important role in strengthening the immune system and protecting the body against infections.
Other health benefits attributed to durian include: boosting digestion, fighting cancer, relieving anemia, helping to maintain healthy bones, and increasing fertility.
Wow! Very interesting durian facts, thanks for the info!!!
I love durian
Us too! So delicious🤤🤤🤤
Gotta try nasi kandar and do it local way kuah campur (mix gravy) and banjir (make it flood).
Oooo make it flood!!?? We love the sounds of that 😍
👍😋😄 Nice !
Thanks for watching Jack!!😊
The lady was speaking Thai at the background when you ate your apam
Was she really?? We didn't notice, we were too busy eating 😄🤣
Make your way to Genting Cafe, its located in the suburbs, you’ll have lots of choices there
Thanks for the suggestion!
Sounds like Brussels Sprouts. Search "Why some hate Brussels Sprouts".
Yes exactly! We feel as if it's just like that why some love durian and others hate it
Sonice
Thanks for watching!!
The noodle in curry mee is yellow mee not eggs noodle. Wonton mee is using egg noodle. Hope this help
Oh that's good to know, thanks Tan Kelvin :)
You are right about curry mee noodles. It hasnt got egg in it. The colour is colouring added. Fresh wheat noodles..however wantan mee contains no egg i believe. I was a lacto vegetarian before n i took care to know what contains egg or no.
I write "wonton" too for Americans for that is how y'all pronounce 'o' mostly. But Malaysisns write it as 'wantan' coz in Asian languages "a" is pronounced as "ah".
@@soulman3790 well, I'm not sure around your area but the authentic Wanton mee is using egg noodles. It definitely has eggs inside and some stores even only put flour and eggs without water to achieve springy and chewy texture.
@@unknowndy You are right also. I took to buying when i was vegetarian wonton raw noodles from vegan food supplies. But regular wonton noodles contain eggs, fatter than the vegan type n browner too. Oh it was harder being a vegetarian. I no longer am, though i eat lots of veggies.
Where’s your next port of call? Hong Kong?
Stay tuned😉😉😉
Curry mee in Penang is called in Kuala Lumpur (federal capital) 'Laksa'. Laksa in Penang n Northern parts is ASSAM LAKSA (TAMARIND LAKSA) N SOLD AT MALAY STALLS AS 'LAKSA ASSAM' ALL OVER WEST MALAYSIA. I recommend strongly you try ASSAM LAKSA, voted as 'most delicious street food in the World'.
Ah yes! Thanks for the comment. We actually tried assam laksa, and it was delicious!
Check it out in our last video 😉

@@HungryTwoTravel you must still be in Malaysia. Try Ipoh for their beansprouts Chicken rice. Not served like this in Penang usually except for a few outlets. We get ours with cucumbers n spring onions. Try also the Portuguese food in Melaka town. The Portuguese heritage has passed down from early colonisation in 1511.
We were actually in Ipoh just before Penang, and tried a few very Ipoh dishes, including the bean sprout chicken rice. It was so good!!
Thailand actually is the largest durian producer of the world but malaysia produces the best quality durian of the world.
Yes exactly, this is what we've heard as well
Welcome to Penang 😋😋Penang best food 😍😍
Isn't it just amazing!? We are loving the food so much😋🤤
That is because north americans get the durians in asian supermarket and it is not fresh with cracks appearing at the bottom. Your brother should get musang king from miami fruits. Not from asian supermarkets which are thai durians. Malaysian durians are mostly found in singapore and china. No where else. Miami fruits import them (musang king) into north america. The premium stuff.
Oooo that's good to know!! Thanks Keang, appreciate the info ;)
It’s kinda funny they eat a lot of soups in a hot climate.
We find a lot of hot countries enjoy their soups
Wow so yummy, sending support from regelyn officials po
So tasty! Everything was delish 😋 thanks for watching and supporting!
There are cheaper durians as well, we call them "kampung durian"/village durian
Yes we heard of these durians as well!! We didn't get a chance to try one but would love to 🤤
While food is important, there are many other aspects of people's life, culture and development that are more important and interesting.
👍🙃
Halo🔔👍
Hello!! 👋 Thanks for watching
@@HungryTwoTravel it is my pleasure
casting net roti
😊😄
ที่เมืองไทยทุเรียนของไทยจะกินกรอบนอกนุ่มในค่ะไม่กินสุกแบบนี้ค่ะมันเหม็นมากและไม่อร่อยเลยแบบนี้คนไทยเอาไปทำขนมค่ะ
We love durian! It's so good😋🤤
next round try MUSANG KING IS THE BEST KING OF KING DURIAN
Yes we would love to try that variety as well🤤
Dude where are your roots? What dialect are you? Please let me know
Canadian Cantonese 😊🍁
I LOVE THIS DELICIUOS
Thanks for watching!!
Great video! how bout wearing your face mask while going around? seems like everyone in your video is wearing them except you .. cheers 👍
Its alright. Mask is only compulsory in closed areas. Its perfectly fine not to wear mask in open spaces now.
Yes masks are no longer needed outside, haven't been for a few months 😉 thanks for watching!
It's not mandatory to wear masks outdoors, at least for now.
Satay need to eat from a malay stall. They do it better and dip in peanut sauce
Yes, we hope to try it this way while we're here ;)
Yabadabadooooooo
Surprisingly you guys didn't vomit like most Caucasian eat durian. 😂🤣😅 So did you feel the onion custard taste? You guys should try 胡椒豬肚湯，it's nice, although it's organ dish and a little bit chewy, but it's definitely not disgusting and weird texture like liver....
We loved durian! We didn't experience any oniony or pungent tastes, just nice and creamy and delicious!! We'll have to keep an eye out for that dish thanks for the suggestion ;
@@HungryTwoTravel Some cook at home rich coconut milk rice n serve that with durians..my family when i was a boy, just poured hot water on white rice n ate durian with it!
Mmmm that sounds amazing!!!
Pronounced kway tiaw terng
Well done. You tried the stinkiest of fruits
😄 Yes, and so delicious!
durian smell is opposite to taste
enjoy always travel with foods
Completely! The taste is so nice and such a creamy texture, people who don't like the smell just need to try it to see ;) thanks for watching!
I may be an exception but i actually love durian smells besides the tastes
We definitely don't find it as strong or pungent as other people do, we're with you!
I heard durian smells like a fart 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 it's definitely different, but honestly totally depends on the person. It's a very strong pungent smell for sure, but not like farts to us! You'll have to get a whiff yourself 😉
The durian look sub standard. Just by the look of it. I might be wrong. But there are much tasty ones
This one was delicious, great taste and texture 😉
U are one scary looking dude
