Kuantan Road

Kuantan Road, George Town (25 May 2013)


Kuantan Road, known today as Jalan Kuantan, is a road off Dato Kramat Road in George Town. It was named after Kuantan, the capital of Pahang state on the east coast of West Malaysia. The road joins Kajang Road at the other end.

Kuantan Road was built towards the turn of the 20th century, as the city of George Town began to expand outwards. Kuantan Road is famous for the market that is there in the morning, and the Sar Hor Fun stall there in the evening. At the junction of Kuantan Road are two coffee shops, Timesway Restaurant on the west side while Kedai Kopi Khye Lock Hooi is on the east side.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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