Once again, Penang has asserted its position among foodies around the world as one of the top food destinations in the world. On the 11th January 2009, the prestigious New York Times released results from their very own interactive survey themed "The 44 Places to Go in 2009" in which Penang was voted 22nd.


However, readers of New York Times voted Penang as the 2nd best destination, behind Beirut. Under the food category, readers choose the island of Penang together with Beirut, Marrakesh, Mareema(Italy), South Africa, Washington DC and Deauville (France). Marrakesh was voted top destination in this category. Singapore was not included in this survey. The New York Times was quoted saying that Penang has "South East Asia's liveliest street food scenes". The online food web magazine FriedChillies.Com and food blog Penang Street Food were also mentioned.

Comments by readers on Penang in New York Times include "However, I agree, great and cheap food, awesome beaches, superb atmosphere, if you ever come to South East Asia, forget Thailand, skip it and get to Penang". Articles on Penang Food Adventures and Malaysia's Top 10 Must Haves are available on FriedChillies.Com

Note From Editor : We would like to thank New York Times for mentioning our beloved city Penang and also FriedChillies.Com in their article.
