Cracking Penang's diverse food scene is no mean feat. This book does it." - Chef Wan

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