Pulau Tikus Market

Pulau Tikus Market (23 January 2014)


Pulau Tikus Market (GPS: 5.43052, 100.31204) is the market for the Pulau Tikus neighbourhood in George Town, Penang. It is often called the rich man's market, as it is the watering hole of the affluent Pulau Tikus neighbourhood. The hawkers here have a reputation of giving a rich man's price for everything sold, so you would do well to compare prices. The market building is along Jalan Pasar while the market itself spills onto Jalan Moulmein. Jalan Moulmein has a number of coffee shops offering a good selection of hawker food, among them 77 Food Yard, Sin Hup Aun and Swee Kong.

In the evening, the Pulau Tikus Market Hawker Centre operates along Jalan Pasar in front of the market. The hawker centre is a popular eating venue among the locals of Pulau Tikus.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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