What To Expect

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.”
