Here are the Top 5 Must-Try Fruits in Penang, Malaysia:

Durian
Known as the “King of Fruits,” durian is a must-try in Penang, especially during the peak season (June to August). It’s known for its strong aroma and creamy texture. Penang’s Balik Pulau area is famous for some of the best durians in Malaysia, including varieties like Musang King and Red Prawn.

Mangosteen
Often called the “Queen of Fruits,” mangosteen is a sweet and tangy fruit with a refreshing, juicy flesh. Its purple outer shell encases a white, segmented interior that’s perfect for a tropical snack after a spicy Penang meal.

Rambutan
Rambutan is a tropical fruit covered in a hairy, red outer shell, but inside, it has a translucent, sweet, and slightly tangy flesh similar to lychee. It’s a fun fruit to peel and eat while exploring Penang’s street markets.

Langsat
Small and often underrated, langsat is a yellow-brown fruit with a sour-sweet taste. The flesh resembles that of a grape and is a great tropical treat to try. It’s perfect for hot days, offering a refreshing and juicy snack.

Starfruit (Carambola)
Starfruit is a sweet and mildly tangy fruit shaped like a star when sliced. Its crisp texture makes it a refreshing and hydrating snack, and it’s commonly found in Penang markets and fruit stalls.

These fruits capture the tropical essence of Penang, providing a delightful, refreshing escape from the heat!

Penang, Malaysia, is renowned for its vibrant street food scene, reflecting a blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian culinary traditions. Here are the top 5 street foods you must try in Penang:

### 1. **Char Kway Teow**
Char Kway Teow is one of Penang’s most famous dishes. This stir-fried flat noodle dish is typically cooked over high heat with shrimp, bloody cockles, Chinese lap cheong (sausage), bean sprouts, eggs, and chives, all in a smoky soy sauce. The intense heat of the wok, known as “wok hei,” gives the noodles a distinct, charred flavor that is beloved by locals and visitors alike.

### 2. **Assam Laksa**
Penang Assam Laksa is a tangy, spicy noodle soup with a tamarind-based broth, which gives it a distinctive sour taste. The soup is made with mackerel fish, lemongrass, chilies, and shrimp paste. It’s typically served with thick rice noodles, cucumber, pineapple, onions, mint leaves, and a spoonful of thick prawn paste (har ko) on top, adding a sweet and savory depth to the soup.

### 3. **Hokkien Mee**
Also known as Prawn Mee, Hokkien Mee is a flavorful noodle soup made with a rich, aromatic broth derived from slow-cooked prawn heads and shells. It is usually served with a combination of yellow egg noodles and rice vermicelli, topped with prawns, pork slices, fish cakes, bean sprouts, boiled eggs, and fried shallots. Some vendors also add pork ribs or intestines for added richness.

### 4. **Char Koay Kak**
Char Koay Kak is a savory dish made from radish cake, stir-fried with eggs, bean sprouts, chives, and preserved radish in a dark soy sauce. It’s similar to Char Kway Teow but uses cubed rice cakes instead of flat noodles, giving it a unique texture and flavor profile. It’s a popular choice for breakfast or a quick snack.

### 5. **Nasi Kandar**
Originating from Penang’s Indian Muslim community, Nasi Kandar is a mixed rice dish served with a variety of side dishes such as fried chicken, beef rendang, fish curry, fried prawns, and okra, among others. The highlight of Nasi Kandar is the “banjir” style, where the rice is flooded with a mixture of different curries, creating a rich and flavorful meal.

These street foods are a must-try for anyone visiting Penang, offering a delicious insight into the island’s diverse culinary heritage.
