Best Malay Restaurants in Penang

Written by Updated ago

Malay food is a common staple enjoyed by locals in Malaysia thanks to its amazing flavours. Herbs and spices like ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilies are used to create a distinctive and vibrant cuisine. The style and taste of Malay food can vary depending on its geographical location - the ones in the northern states tend to be spicier with fresh and dried spices prepped to create special 'rempah'. So if you're into delicious 'rempah' and spicy taste, do check out these great stops in Penang!

    One of the long-time running Malay cuisine outlet in Penang is Restoran Minah. This is an favourite among both the elderly and the young. Savour tempting savoury dishes here all hand-cooked using 64-year old, brought-down recipes. The grilled fish is amazing and an even perfect match with the sambal belacan (prawn paste). Other highlights include the chilli paste petai with prawn, gado-gado, fried mixed vegetables, deep-fried chicken and kerabu.
