GEORGE TOWN: Penang’s legendary barefoot char koay teow seller is now immortalised in paint as a street mural on the side of a shophouse along McNair Street, just opposite the bustling Cecil Street market here.
Local mural artist Vincent Phang, 39, recently handpainted the mural of Tan Bak Juah, 71, who is known for frying koay teow over a charcoal stove while barefooted.
