Nice "Lo Bak" in Viva Hawker Food Court at Tanjong Tokong in Penang, Malaysia
Nothing says Penang like food - Rachel and I are foodies.  We have truly discovered this more and more while visiting Malaysia.  

Trying new things is what makes live exciting.  Stingray is at the top of the list of new and tasty treats for us.  

I'm not sure if its the banana leaf they cook it on or the spices but stingray is at the top of my list for recommendations to try while in Penang.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (52 reviews)
The room was spotless and well appointed. There is a local hawker centre about 400 meters away which we walked to for dinner. The bus stops were very handy and only 2MR to George Town. Zeus coffee was 5 mins across the road which my coffee enthusiastic enjoyed for price and quality.
