itinerary Tanjung Tokong dinner crawl: 3 stops on foot
3 stops · 0.9km on foot
Three dinner stops around Seri Tanjung Pinang and Mount Erskine, all under a kilometre apart on foot. You get satay, a Hainanese chicken chop, and a curry mee that only runs in the evening, which is rare for a dish Penang mostly eats at breakfast.

Go for the mutton satay, which reviewers like for its tenderness and crispy edges, with a plate of nasi impit. Chicken satay is popular too, but it can take over 35 minutes to arrive, so order it first.

Cordon Bleu, grilled salmon and a mixed grill are on the menu too. Queues get long at dinner and on weekends, so expect a line on a Saturday night.

The soup is a santan-based white curry, and the sambal is fragrant with a real kick, so stir in a little before adding the lot. There's a dry curry mee too if you'd rather skip the broth.
