Pe3nang1 Ciak1

Pe3nang1 Ciak1 is the section of Penang Travel Tips where I talk about Penang food, in Penang Hokkien. Food is such an integral part of living in Penang, that it is almost impossible to talking about living in Penang without any mention of Penang food. The term "Pe3nang1 Ciak1" simply translates as "Penang food", of which it can be broken down to sio1huan1 ciak1 (hawker food), Nyo3nya3 ciak1 (Nyonya food), kueh4 (local pastries), and so on. The purpose of this section is to provide people - locals as well as visitors - exposure to Penang Hokkien, both the spoken and the romanised form. In these passages, Penang Hokkien is written using the Taiji Romanisation, which you can learn for free at Memrise, and you can reference the online Penang Hokkien Dictionary.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
