What to eat in JelutongWhat to eat in Jelutong (2 November 2013)


What is there to eat in Jelutong, Penang? The suburb of Jelutong, located immediately to the south of George Town, was formerly regarded as a working-class counterpart to Penang's capital. But now that the city has included the entire Penang Island, Jelutong has gentrified to become one of the major residential neighbourhoods. It has one of the most vibrant market scene in Penang, with two major markets, namely the Jelutong Market and Perak Road Market. There is a lot to eat in Jelutong, and the food lovers at Hawker Food Planet Facebook Group have given us a long list of recommendations.

About this website



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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
