Kuantan Road Market

Kuantan Road Market (25 May 2013)


Kuantan Road Market (GPS: 5.41179, 100.32388) is a market that has existing since before the Second World War. The market building, which was built in the Art Deco style, is still standing today. It faces Kuantan Road, which becomes crowded every morning due to the market spilling into the road, all the way to the Dato Kramat Road junction.

Take Rapid Penang Bus 11, 201, 202, 203, 204, 206, 301, or 502 to Dato Kramat Road. Ring the bell to alight after you see Penang Times Square on your left.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
