Perak Road Market

Main market street of the Perak Road Market (16 December 2012)


Perak Road Market (GPS: 5.39981, 100.31441) is one of the older markets in Penang. It was established by the predominantly Chinese community living in the Chinese settlement around Perak Road. Although the market building is on Jalan Slim, the market itself spills over the side roads into Jalan Pasar and Perak Road itself. Apart from the fresh produce, you can also get cheap clothes as well as breakfast there. I like the Koay Kark on the opposite side of Perak Road, fried with duck egg.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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