[4K] Walking a Malay Township in Penang's Chinatown? | Heritage Places

[@thrifexplorer]

Thanks for watching! The Hokkien name for this street, Thai Gu Au, rather means 'behind where the cows are slaughtered'.. Kind of odd, right? My best guess as a local is, perhaps it has some connection with the history of being a Malay township in the past, which ties to their tradition of slaughtering cows during Hari Raya Korban. I might be wrong though, but Lebuh Melayu as a modern street is rather quiet especially in the mornings, it can be an exploration space for tourists who hunts for unique/hidden photo spots, or locals who crave for a nice plate of Tiger Char Koay Teow, which happens to tuck inside the left kopitiam which you can see in the video at 6:14
