Penang, Malaysia[size=1.2em]
[size=1.2em]Penang is one of the world's top eating destinations.
[size=1.2em]Street food--or hawker food, as it's locally known--is the city's big draw.
[size=1.2em]Penang hawker food reflects the multicultural makeup of the town, which has citizens of Chinese, Malay and Indian descent.
[size=1.2em]There'sl also a distinct
Nyonya cuisine in Penang, the fusion food that has resulted from the intermarriage of Chinese and Malay immigrants.
[size=1.2em]The streets of Penang are lined with hawker stalls, coffee shops and hawker centers where multiple vendors offer their specialties.

Penang’s personality in a bowl.
[size=1.2em]Assam laksa is so closely associated with the city that it's often called Penang laksa. The fiercely contrasting flavors of this soup -- fishy mackerel, sour tamarind and fiery chili -- come together perfectly in assam laksa.
[size=1.2em]It's served with chewy white noodles and garnished with fresh mint, shallots, cilantro, cucumbers and sweet pineapple.
[size=1.2em]You can find assam laksa outside of Penang, of course, but it's never as sour and certainly never as delicious.
[size=1.2em]Try it at: Cecil Market Food Court, Lebuh Cecil, Penang

Chinese goes Malaysian.
[size=1.2em]It may have its roots in the Fujian province of China, but the Hokkien mee you'll find in Penang is different.
[size=1.2em]The soup is a fragrant, fatty prawn-and-pork-bone-based broth served with a combination of chewy yellow egg noodles and thin, white rice vermicelli. Topped with hard-boiled egg, small prawns, fish balls, crispy fried shallots and spicy sambal, the dish is a perfect breakfast food.
[size=1.2em]Try it at: Beach Street (between Magazine Road and Prangin Road Ghaut), Penang

All together now.
[size=1.2em]You'll find variations of wanton mee, a dish of Chinese origin, all over Asia, but the one in Penang leaves them in the dust.
[size=1.2em]Springy egg noodles are served al dente with a sticky sauce made from soy sauce and lard oil, with a spoonful of fiery sambal on the side. It's topped with pieces of leafy green Chinese kale, sliced green onions, pickled green chilies and wontons. The wontons are either boiled or steamed, as you'll find them elsewhere in Malaysia, or fried, in a unique Penang twist.
[size=1.2em]If you prefer, you can also order wanton mee "wet," meaning the noodles are served in a rich broth.
[size=1.2em]Try it at: Lebuh Chulia (in front of furniture shop), Penang
