Penang are famous for its food. I would recommend some restaurants or location for eat as below:
1. Ananda Bahwan restaurant (little india): famous for local indian food. Recommended to try: Masala tea (herb and spices tea), lassi drink (indian yogurt), teh tarik. For food, you could try their thosai ( thosai hv few different type which comes with different taste, they are famous for ghee thosai, normally i will order thosai rawa (thosai mix with onion and green chilies)
