PENANG IN 12 DISHES

“This is the ultimate foodie handbook to the Malaysian State” - Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia

Few destinations boast the range of delicious, authentic, affordable fare as Penang. With its mash-up of Indian, Malaysian, Hokkien Chinese influences and flavours, there's so much to eat here it's insane. Penang In 12 Dishes will guide you to what and where to eat, profiling the island's defining dishes and experience.

Nasi kan-dar, duck rice, char koay teow, roti canai and Hokkien mee are among the essential, 12 dishes showcased, although this book goes way beyond these. All the places listed give you starting points from which you can make your own, delicious discoveries. You'll find info on Penang's beachside bars, advice on buying and eating durian, which hawker centres to bee line to and what to eat with your morning coffee.
