Best Dining Bets in Malaysia

  • Hawker Centers: Think of them as shopping malls for food -- great food. For local cuisine, who needs a menu with pictures when you can walk around and select anything you want as it's prepared before your eyes?
  • Gurney Drive (Penang, Malaysia): Penang is the king of Asian cuisine, from Chinese to Malay, to Indian and everything else in between. This large hawker center by the sea is a great introduction to Penang.
