Chowrasta Market

Chowrasta Market in Penang is a lively hub that reflects the island’s rich daily life and culture. Every morning, housewives gather here not just to shop, but to catch up on gossip while browsing for fresh vegetables, meat, and fish. The market is known for its unique local offerings like hand-made spring roll skins, traditional snacks, and famous Penang nutmeg and pickles. The atmosphere buzzes with friendly chatter, the scent of spices, and the sizzle of street food being prepared. It’s more than just a market—it’s a community space where tradition, food, and friendships thrive every day.

Kek Lok Si Temple

During the British colonial era, the Chinese community in Penang flourished, practicing their faith with devotion and building many grand temples—some said to rival, if not surpass, those in China. One of the most renowned is Kek Lok Si, often described as the largest Buddhist temple complex in Southeast Asia, resembling a spiritual theme park. Built in 1985, visitors can learn about Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism while exploring its beautifully crafted pagodas, vibrant lanterns, intricate statues, and peaceful gardens. Don’t miss the breathtaking view of George Town from the temple grounds. As the locals say: “You haven’t been to Penang unless you’ve visited Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si.”

    We had a great experience with our guide Eng! He taught us so much about the history and culture in Penang - things we would have never learned if we tried to see these sites without him. He also made sure to use the entire 6 hours effectively and when we had extra time at the end he took us to a fun Food museum based on our interests. He even had waters for us in the car to ensure we stayed hydrated. He also was sure to take many pictures of us at all the spots around town. Highly recommend!

    The guide Mr Law was exceptional. He was patient in answering all our questions. He had in depth historical knowledge about the region and was able to pull the whole thing together and also regularly talking abt Singapore when he knew we lived there. He was considerate especially knowing I wasn’t able to walk as much. Once he was aware of my husband’s and mine somewhat different interests, he made sure that he covered both aspects. He has aroused my interest of history in the region and will be definitely following up with the reading when I get back.
