My visit to the Tanjung Bungah Night Market
28 February, 2017
My wife and I decided to make a trip to visit the Tanjung Bungah Night Market. What we saw is the same as at night markets elsewhere, same itinerant hawkers selling the same items, only at different location on different day.
We decided to try the Hokkien Mee, as we have not tried this stall before, and it appeared to be doing quite good business, as there was a queue of customers. But after we have tasted it, my wife felt it wasn't salty enough. I would agree that it perhaps will taste better it saltier, but to me it is still okay.

In addition to Hokkien Mee, we also tried the Yong Tau Foo and the Putu Mayong. The Yong Tau Foo has a price list, and I selected 15 pieces for RM7. While waiting for the Hokkien Mee, I saw that the table next door ordered lots of Putu Mayong, so I placed my order with the Putu Mayong seller. It was RM2 per pack.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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