Today Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar has become one of the main food streets of Ipoh. The street food epicentre is the intersection of Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar with Jalan Yau Tet Shin.
Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar was named after the 15th Panglima Kinta, the local nobleman of the area. The road was originally called Osborne Street, after Douglas Osborne, the founder of the Osborne & Chappel Mining Company.
At the Jalan Sultan Iskandar entrance of Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar is an archway called Gerbang Malam ("Night Gate") (10 March, 2018)

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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