At Hawker Food Planet, I value the discoveries and recommendations of my members. On Facebook, it is all too easy for recommendations to quickly get buried by new posts. To ensure that their recommendations are easily retrievable, I have cataloged and am now sorted them out by location, as listed below.

If you try anything that was recommended below, and post about it on Hawker Food Planet, Food Universe or It's Makan Time, mentioning the person who originally recommended it, the food that was recommended will be given a GOLD STAR, while you yourself will be given a BLUE STAR for having taken the effort to try the recommendation.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
