GEORGE TOWN: Weekend tourists are going off the beaten track to patronise places such as the Cecil Street market here to not just sample the goodies, but also for a taste of the street food culture.

Kuih seller Chan Hoon Sien, 46, said she had been receiving almost twice the number of customers, thanks to the influx of tourists, especially on the weekends.
