Savoring the Flavors of Penang - AFAR

"A bustling nighttime hawker street known for classic local dishes like mee lemak (noodles in a coconut-milk-based curry) and rojak, a fruit-and-vegetable salad dressed with a sweet-and-sour sauce that blends Chinese and Malay ingredients—a fitting culinary conclusion to a visit celebrating the island's cultural diversity." - AFAR

The 17 Best Restaurants in George Town, Malaysia | Eater

"If you only have time to visit one hawker center while in George Town (note: you should make more time), make it Lorong Baru. Both in terms of its spread of dishes and its frenetic, open-air vibe, it’s the epitome of what’s fun and delicious about eating in this city. Standout dishes include otak-otak, fish curry steamed in banana leaf; smokey skewers of satay; char koay kak, rice cakes fried with egg, shrimp, bean sprouts, and chili paste; and chee cheong fun, rice noodle rolls drizzled with a savory shrimp paste-based dressing and sesame seeds. Dinner only. [$ - $$]" - Austin Bush

It's a short strip of road / lane for hawker food actually. Problem is parking. Fortunately there a paid albeit expensive parking lot opposite the lane entrance. Coupled with 2 coffee shops, you do get a generous variety of choices of the most common penang hawker dishes. And due to this variety, it will take you few visits to sample all their food. Personally I must say that most of their fares are above average and you won't go wrong. Price point is up to you. They are a tad bit high so it's entirely up to you to decide on whether it's worth the premium. The only stand out I found was the wtm. Springy noodle, dark delicious sauce and aromatic. It's definitely one of the best wtm on the island. The charcoal ckt is not my cup of tea. It's delicious if you don't mind wet style ckt. But if you are like me, who prefer the drier version, I didn't find this particularly worth the wait and Q.

San Cafe at the side serves a pretty decent char kuey teow. Much better than the well known uncle opposite at new lane street with a long queue. Comes with generous toppings like lap cheong and juicy prawns with crispy lard. Had the pork satay as well and ice kacang, pork satay was alright and ice kacang was soso.

Quite difficult to park as short of parking. Servers of the new lane restaurant has to rant to us tourists that we must order drinks from them to qualify to sit at the table. Earlier when ask if we could order other food. To their table, we were told yes. But didnt know their battle which affects patrons. How displeasing experience. Aside from the long queue on the famous charcoal char kueh tiaw, the rest of the food is just so-so. More disapponting is the new lane char keuy tiaw with good presentation on a nice plate, big juicy prawns and eggs. The kuey tiao is dry and not fragrant despite fried with lard. The lin chee kang dessert is even worse of a joke. Totally not dessert at all with blue jelly cubes and purple balls in a lin chee kang??

Good vibes. Great food stalls. It's not a very big one, but the location is central , next to the subway hotel. All the stalls we had tried here were tasty. Great value and clean. The q to the quey two cart was massive and I didn't bother to line up.

New Lane Street Food stalls next to Macalister Road. Yummy yummy variety. Brain brain (Otak Otak) was not bad. Do try the char kueh teow and fried oyster. Even the drinks and leng chee kang were yummy. The aroma surrounding this place is amazing

Nice street food to try when in Penang. The best ones are the Char Kway Teow (long queue) and oyster omelette. Go early.

Best charcoal fire char kuey teow in New Lane, George Town Penang, filled with umami charred flavour.... rm11 for a small plate, rm13 for a large plate with 3 large king prawns, egg, Chinese sausage pieces, pork crackling, garlic chive and beansprouts then served with banana leaf... the only down side is the waiting time, beware of long queue. its worth the wait
