Taman Kheng Tian Night Market

Taman Kheng Tian Night Market (1 August 2008)


Taman Kheng Tian Night Market is one of the biggest night markets in Penang. It takes places every Friday evening in Taman Kheng Tian, the densely populated neighbourhood of Jelutong. The night market occupies much of Van Praagh Road, though the night market spills over to Jalan Ooi Thiam Siew and Lorong Parit Buntar.

Most of the stalls along Van Praagh Road sell clothing and household items, from nail clippers to clocks. The major draw of the night market, however, are the food stalls. They line both sides of Jalan Ooi Thiam Siew, and part of Lorong Parit Buntar. There is an almost endless array of some of the best Penang hawker food to be found here, at prices that the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre can't touch. Among the hawker food that I have noted here include the Hokkien mee, koay kak, yong tau foo, nasi lemak, nasi tomato, sugar cane water, putu mayong, lok lok, sweet dessert, fried chicken, rojak, satay, curry mee, pastries, preserves, crackers, fruits, apom, muah chee, and much more.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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