Three small reasons to stay hungry

One rice parcel, one folded pancake, one icy bowl. Keep these George Town snacks for the gaps between plans; they do not need to become a single long walk. The portions are the strategy. Your appetite can edit the list. Dishes below are suggested orders. Check current menus and hours.

No set route. Pick a stop and follow your appetite.

A note from Nico Reyes

Unwrap one parcel before committing to a pile. Coconut rice, sambal and the chosen topping make a compact meal with very little ceremony. Small does not mean you need three.

What I ordered

Banana-leaf nasi lemak

Suggested order: banana-leaf nasi lemak. Check the filling and heat level before choosing your parcel.

Apom Chooi — Burmah Road

Jalan Burma (Burmah Road), George Town

A note from Nico Reyes

Banana and corn in a soft pancake is enough of a pitch. Buy a few, eat one warm, and let the rest be a later snack. Look for Apom Chooi specifically; similar names can lead to a different stall.

What I ordered

Penang banana-and-corn apom

Suggested order: banana-and-corn apom. Warm first, photos second.

A note from Nico Reyes

An icy finish needs no dramatic itinerary. Head for the Keng Kwee location and stir enough to bring the coconut and palm-sugar flavours together. Finish the bowl before it turns into a very different drink.

What I ordered

Cendol / chendul

Suggested order: chendul. Try a small unmixed spoonful, then bring the layers together.
