The place is Northam Beach Café, a popular seaside food court in Penang where the charm lies not just in the food but also in its unbeatable coastal views. Sitting by the waterfront while enjoying local hawker-style dishes makes for a relaxed yet memorable dining experience.
What I enjoyed most was the variety—you’ll find everything from Penang char kway teow and satay to seafood and Western options. It’s the kind of place where you can bring a group, and everyone will find something they like. The casual, open-air setup makes it feel less like a typical food court and more like a beachside hangout spot. Pairing local favorites with the sound of waves and the sight of a glowing sunset is an experience that feels uniquely Penang.
Travel Tips & How to Get There
• Getting There: Located along Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah in Penang, easily accessible by car or ride-hailing. Parking is available nearby but can be busy during dinner hours.
• Must-Try: Grilled seafood, char kway teow, and satay are crowd favorites. For dessert, try local treats like ais kacang.
• Special Tip: Best to visit in the evening around sunset for both the view and the cooler breeze. Bring cash as some stalls may not accept cards.
• Price Range: Affordable to mid-range, depending on your choice of seafood and drinks.
• Best Time to Visit: Evening hours, especially around golden hour for the best seaside atmosphere.
