Whenever I go back to Penang, there are always a few things to check off my list when it comes to hawker food. There’s the usual char kuey teow, Hokkien mee, laksa and kuey teow soup, but if you veer just slightly off the beaten path, there’s also kway chap, one of the hidden gems of Penang hawker food that’s equally delicious but super hard to find outside the island.
