Penang's most famous hawker complex sits just past the Gurney Plaza mall, cooled by breezes wafting in off the sea. It buzzes with stalls serving Muslim and Chinese-Malay dishes, including flame-cooked satay sticks, fried oysters, loh bak (five-spice pork sausage), lok-lok (skewered meats, seafood and vegetables cooked in broth), rojak (spicy fruit salad) and Penang laksa (sour fish soup).
Gurney Drive is about 3km west of George Town. A taxi here will cost RM15-20.
