- MALAY STREET FOOD IN PENANG - Curry Mee + Laksa in Ayer Itam
Welcome back to another episode of Chopstick Travel with Luke Martin. Today, we take you on a street food tour just outside of Georgetown, Penang to a small village called Air Itam. Situated just into the mountain-side, this little town is famous for delicious STREET FOOD! Among the street food stalls selling all kinds of Malaysian foods and Chinese-influence foods, there are two very famous spots: one selling a traditional curry mee and the other a traditional assam laksa!
We also checked out the beautiful Buddhist temple - Kek Lok Si, while we were there, and took in the beautiful views.
We couldn’t resist the classic Malaysian dessert - cendol, in downtown Penang, before heading to one of our favourite dishes of all time (not just in Malaysia) - bak kut teh. It is a medicinal soup filled with vegetables and tofu and it cooked in an earthenware pot. The best way to end a day of street food eating and exploring!

========================================================
Hey there, my name's Luke Martin with www.chopsticktravel.com ! I'm on a journey to document the BEST Street Food around the world! Chopstick Travels began in Taiwan, where we frequent the best Street Food stands everywhere from Taipei to Kaohsiung. Not only do we feast on amazing street food in Taiwan, but our food focused travels take us on Street Food missions trying unique foods around the world! We've eaten Street Food in Japan, Street Food in Malaysia, Street Food in Korea, Street Food in India and many more! I post 2 times a week mostly food, some travel. Street Food tours around the world and the most unique dishes we can find in all kinds of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Stay updated for my latest video VIA our Facebook page and Instagram!
Always remember that the best part of travel is immersing yourself in the local culture, and no where better can you immerse yourself than into the Street Food!

That's great, man! 😃👍
I'm very curious about that announcement
Very good video visit #trillionlumina
Merry Christmas and happy New year 😄😄😄 ur videos are amazing
The late Anthony Bourdain once called Sarawak Laksa as “breakfast of the Gods”. We may not know of his spiritual proclivity but we know one thing for sure: Sarawak Laksa makes for an amazing breakfast (and lunch and dinner).
Significantly different from the many types of laksa available in the Peninsular Malaysia, the Sarawak Laksa is made with sambal belacan, coconut milk, sour tamarind, garlic, galangal, and lemongrass. Served with rice vermicelli noodles and topped with strips of chicken and prawn, this Bornean iteration of the laksa is beloved by all Sarawakians and is ate together by families and friends no matter the time of the day.
In honour of Anthony Bourdain, let’s kick off our list with Choon Hui Café, where the laksa stall he first fell in love with in 2005 stands. Since then he has returned to the coffee shop off Jalan Ban Hock many times, even buying a round of meals for everyone in the restaurant during one visit. He may not be around anymore, but his legacy at Choon Hui lives on.
Queue for the Sarawak Laksa begins right from the opening time, and the pages in the order book go up to a few flips in a matter of minutes. And then proceed to the waiting game. The stall keepers work diligently like a well-oiled machine making one laksa after another but expect to wait for up to an hour or more. In the meantime, find a seat and order some other appetisers, like the popiahor toast with egg. The laksa is definitely worth the wait: Bursting to the brim with local Sarawak pepper and spices, the bowl is offered in three different sizes, and come with king prawns, poached chicken, shredded omelette and a generous helping of noodles and beansprouts.
Penang is a hidden gem in Malaysia. The street food which are not over rated and too commercialised are still delicious and very affordable. The nicest Street food are usually hidden from the eye of the public. I am proud to say this because I am born and raised in Penang. 😊
Ipoh is too
Laksa at Air Itam is so amazing! Btw, RIP Anthony Bourdain.
Hey Luke, glad you enjoyed all the great and delicious food of my hometown Penang, the Penang Laksa stall you had in Ayer Itam has sadly closed down due to alot of restrictions during this pandemic and many street food vendors have closed down also. Its so so sad to see them go , i hope this pandemic will pass quickly and you stay safe wherever you are ! Do come come back to Penang again when this is all over.
Hi Elben thats so sad to hear! Yes we definitely want to come back to Penang as soon as we can!
This has made me so sad 😔
They closed down because of loan sharks we’re chasing after them, not because of the pandemic Lol spit the truth
@@Sushiriceoreo welp that’s sad I haven’t even tried it yet and I live in Penang Bukit Mertajam 🤦🤦🤦
Impossible they are close. I think they have reopened now
Notification squad here!!! Tq for uploading
Yeah!! Notification squad!
Awe the two sisters are cute! That noodle dish they make looks really tasty, I couldn’t ask for extra chilli lol I like spice but not too much. Great video Luke and Sabrina, Merry Christmas to you both 🎄 stay safe.
Yes I think I over did it with that spice haha! Merry Christmas :)
the cendol actually turns brown due to the brown sugar used. its kinda taste caramelly. hope you enjoy your stay here.
Seriously, Luke, I just had a garden salad for dinner. This video is killing me. That roti bakar with soft boiled eggs and laksa! I love the iced coffee. I think I ate two bowls of the cendol when I was in Penang road four weeks ago. Haha Kek lok si is my fave place in Penang.
Hahaha sorry! Yes the food is super good!
Penang food is so marvellous. No other place can best Penang my very hometown
That laksa I've to agree, it's the best. Each time I visit Penang it's a must to visit this stall and each time I have to order 2 portion.
This two sisters is very good with their laksa very nice foods in. Malaysia very spicy and not spicy foods healthy fresh foods thank you for sharing your beautiful healthy foods. Bless you all thanks
Malaysian food is amazing here, I wished I could try it and wished you guys to have a good holiday season.
Happy holidays Jade!
Merry christmas... Hi from Malaysia
@@zulfiqarmorshidi6545 Hello and Merry Christmas
thanks
The laksa, curry mee and bah kut teh are famous for tourist but the best local food in Penang will taste even better than all those three, anyway nice video keep up the good work
I am watching from New York. My mouth is watering when i saw you eating cendol ice. Can't get the original taste at Malaysia restaurant here.
Yesss!!! So happy to see the upload!! Merry Christmas to you and Sabrina!!
Merry Christmas!
What a great video! Mmmm all of those dishes 👀 soooo yummy 😋!!
Everything here was awesome!
i don't understand how you guys aren't on tv yet, but i'm NotSorry b/c i love your camera angles and timing, and they would put you as hosts instead of artists. Seriously the best over time foodtraveltv since luke nguyen.
Thanks so much!!
Urghhh love it!!! Heavy cravings!!!
Malaysia is a food Heaven Luke, a mixture of cultures and different cuisines. The food here is some of the best in the entire world in my opinion. Enjoy the rest of your stay here Luke =D. Keep up the great videos.
Penang is definitely a food paradise!
Another great video. Thanks you two and Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️⛄
Thanks happy holidays to you too!
Oh wow, the shots of all those colorfully painted buildings around the temple are just breathtaking. They look like candy. I so wish I could go . You guys are so blessed.
yes tek lok si is very beautiful!
Oh yaaasss to Penang's Asam Laksa!! And the Chendol turned brown not because of the beans in the bowl but because of the gula melaka syrup they add. ✌
Thanks for clearing that up!
Must admit I've never heard of Bak Kut Teh until now, looks awesome. So translation is "meat bone tea" even though there's no actual tea in it, love it. Always great to see the elderlies still cook with passion and love.
You should try it! One of my all time favourite dishes!
The Temple isonly about 10 yrs old.
@Navus_X
If you are a Bak Kut Teh lover, head to Klang Town (The Royal Capital of Selangor), which is some 40km west of Kuala Lumpur. This town is the birth place of famous Bak Kut Teh and the original restaurant is located at Jalan Stesen 1, Klang
@ Navus_X
Restaurant name is Teck Teh.
And, for your info the word 'Teh' in Bak Kut Teh is not referring to tea as many Malaysians might have said to you. In Malay language 'Teh' is tea. But, the original meaning of 'Teh' is the nickname of the uncle (Ah Teh)) who started the Bak Kut Teh business backed in the 1940s.
@@ktng3176 Great info and history, Many thanks KT.
The black grease thingy is called PETIS - made from prawns shells salt sugar - love it. Also eaten with a vegetable salad called ROJAK. Yummmm.
Just saw your channel n wow....foodie yummy yummy 😋😋👍
Hey luke. Great video as always. Cant wait for the next video. Do you know that other than asam laksa, the late anthony bourdain fav is laksa sarawak. He even called it the breakfast from the god. So do give a try when you visit borneo malaysia later.

Two legends!

Very good foods friendly place fresh healthy foods in. Malaysia spicy or not spicy foods love all this foods fresh foods thank you for sharing your beautiful food enjoy your holiday there thank you.
Cendol is the green noodle itself. maybe green jelly is a better word to describe cendol? XD great videos.
I like the fact that all the energy goes into the food and not the decor.....
Thanks for coming to Malaysia😍😘♥
That particular type of laksa is known as Assam Laksa or Penang Laksa.
Of course the best Penang Laksa would be found in Penang haha. They have it everywhere and it's delicious!
Amazing showcase of Malaysian food! This video has me wanting to travel there soon. Haha
Thats awesome hope you get to visit Malaysia!
Best food blogger 😍😍
Going to have to watch this video on my computer since the Wi-Fi is not picking up on my telephone. and a very Merry Christmas to you both.
Merry Christmas!
Wow foods look great, it's on my bucket list, thank you for sharing, have a Happy Holiday safe travel
Love this kinds of foods spices and not spicy very good healthy foods thank you for sharing Bless you both enjoy your beautiful holiday there I love this foods very good healthy foods thanks
i'm new to your channel but loving it
14:01 Don't know if anyone corrected a pronunciation, but I thought this was interesting. The location "Klang" is actually pronounced "Clang" (single syllable) in English (because you used the words Klang Style". I just realized that you pronounced it via the Malay phoneticism where all "a" is pronounced as "ah". It is pronounced "Ke-Lung" (two syllables) if spoken in Malay. Happy New Year! Keep up the great work!
wow
Awesome video once again
Thanks buddy!
👍good videos love the snack in between each meal !
Merry Christmas too u...laksa is the best food in malaysia..
Thanks Damian! Happy Holidays
Air itam laksa my favourite dish, sweet and sour, nice!
Sooo good!😊
Very enjoyable mouthwatering food
Oh yeah! so good!
@@LukeMartin Enjoy It!!!
Luke Martin u just awesome man
Man,you come back to Malaysia? Cool bro
Amazing videos along with amazing food....delicious!
Thanks for watching LucyQ
Hey Luke and Sabrina, this is just a suggestion from me. The next time when you guys are back in Malaysia maybe you can try visiting Jelutong in Penang for more tasty food 😊
Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, the bak kut teh in this video and the mee goreng in the last video are both from Jelutong! :)
Oh gosh, I’m terribly sorry it was my bad. I just watched the second video 😅 Anyways, I hope you both had a great time here in Malaysia and looking forward for your upcoming videos 😃
Only like the Assam laksa from this particular stall. Best that I've eaten in the whole of Malaysia. The other laksa I like is Nonya laksa in Malacca.
I really enjoyed your videos. Hope to run into you one day in Southeast Asia.
Wow, looks like an interesting place. That first meal you had looked like a bowl of kimchi with noodles. Mmmmmmm :D
Merry Christmas.. Loved the Video..Travel Safe..
Merry Christmas Cecil
when you come back for restaurant laksa, I recommend Ah Cheng laksa. You can find these chains at some malls all over KL. They are extremely full of flavor, better than the ones I tasted on the streets. You will love it I guarantee, and they provide chillis, and other sauces include sambal belacan omg my favorite
Yes.. agreed. I used to have Assam laksa at Ah Cheng laksa at Starling Mall n also Tropicana city mall...
謝謝！
Welcome to Malaysia. And you're in the right place to try some of the best food in Penang!
I've gotta go back to Penang again!
The food is totally unrecognizable as authentic traditional Penang fare. The laksa is too watery and without the requisite herbs and condiments thought the prawn paste looks decent enough and the chendol is a very lazy Nyonya trying to cut corners. It looks more like badly dyed thick vermicelli hor, Malaysians will agree with this.
Hi, the sourness that you taste from the Asam Laksa was from tamarind.
ywy
Forth, top man Luke, they get better by the week, 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy working really hard on them!
Great video. Nice noodles and nice desert. Thanks for the video. Never went to Malaysia, great food wow 👍
Thanks Lou! Malaysia is a great country!
Your welcome. It’s Nice to see a other food culture
Luke Martin pls post recently visit of Malaysia, and Thailand, Indonesia
My mouth is watering too
Oh yeah!
Hey glad to see u here in Malaysia , i stay in Kulim town which is about 45 min away from Penang Island , if you had a chance to come over my place i can show u around some famous eateries in my places :).
i wish i had watched this clip before i went there. We only had the chendol and it was good, but a little bit watery. The singapore version is with more ice.
I love both the version!
Hello Luke wow! penang food look really yummy!
It is seriously delicious!
@@LukeMartin lucky u
If you ever find yourself in KL, you should go try the Bah Kut Teh in Klang. My favorite Bah Kut Teh joint is called Sei Ngan Chai Bah Kut Teh, located at Meru, Klang.
Cheers!
Thanks for the recommendation in KL now actually!
@@LukeMartin Klang is about an hour away from KL Sentral by train. If you're free in the morning, Klang is worth a visit. Walking distance from the Klang Railway Station is Little India, which comprises rows and rows of Indian shops including restaurants selling all sorts of Indian things. You can try good Indian food here. It's much larger and has more variety than the Little India in Brickfields, KL. Also Chong Kok Kopitiam is right opposite the Klang railway station where you can have a good breakfast Malaysian Chinese-style with toast, kaya, eggs, coffee and lots more. Nearby are other Chinese and Malay restaurants or stalls selling their own dishes. Some historical buildings are in walking distance as well. The Klang Bah Kut Teh is a must-try as mentioned earlier. You even had Klang-style BKT in Penang.
@Feus5889
True, Sei Ngai Chai Bak Kut Teh tastes good BUT the shop really has serious hygiene problem. I don't think it's a good recommendation.
That medicinal broth looked awesome !
Love the series Luke!
Thanks Phi!
Since you at Penang, travel a bit to Kulim to try Cik Wan Laksa Sotong / Squid laksa. They start at 2.30pm but be early.
Sedapnyaaaaaaaaa😭😭😭😭
No doubt. This is the best ever. Everytime i go there. I will eat 2 bowl.
So good!!!
You really know Bah Kut Teh bro...Enjoy it...
I'm from Klang
Penang has been rated as one of the top ten best retirement place in the world now ..
Hi Luke.. Sarawak Laksa is Anthony Bourdain Laksa choies..come to .Kuching Sarawak..
Your chopstick skills is fantastic. Its good to see a young westerner have such good diversity.
Your narration reminds me of Mark Wiens :) You guys should totally do a collaboration if you haven’t already!
Great vid.. a tip after the noodles you need to follow it with a spoon of gravy.
Sabrina always look so pretty when wearing exotic clothes. She is such a good sport and loyal companion. When are you going to marry her? I think that would be awesome!
I'm surprised to see that Chinese food is so prevalent here, and it's so delicious! I love that sister noodle. Why do they fill the bowls with broth and then dump it back into the pot? Is it to remove excess starch from noodle and thicken broth at the same time? Everything just look so hearty and delicious, perfect for winter. Love how you are mixing things up with some site seeing. Looking forward to the next one!
I'm so happy that you came to PENANG!! There's so many food here that is equally and insanely delicious and you definitely MUST TRY all of them. Btw so sad that your're in Penang while I'm in Johor for my studies TTT
I wish I could Visit Malaysia some day,,,thanks Luke,,,
(GAZULA vlogs)
Luke and sabrina, I want to see u both eat, like really eating from beginning till finish, don't always skip ur eatting process, I don't get the "mouth watering" if u skip2 ur eatting moment. Hope u understand what I mean.. but so far u both great! happy holiday guys
Laksa is one of my new & all time favorite noodle soup next to pho!
It is definitely one of my favourite as well!
Food looks awesome. Especially the pork blood dish with noodles
Thanks Colin that curry mee was awesome!
great video :)
look very yummy my friend..
10:36 You looking like Tom Cruise in the movie Top Gun with your sunglasses on 👍🏽💯%
