Penang is one of the world's great food destinations — a UNESCO-listed city where Malay, Chinese, Indian and colonial influences have been layering and cross-pollinating for centuries. The result is a cuisine unlike anywhere else: char kway teow, asam laksa, nasi kandar, cendol, rojak, Hainanese chicken rice done the Penang way.
A Day in Penang follows the city from morning to midnight, covering the street food, hawker stalls and home cooking that define eating there. A companion volume to A Day in Tokyo, with the same beautiful format and depth of knowledge.
