Location: Jalan Pasar, Pekan Ayer Itam, 11500 Ayer Itam, Pulau Pinang

The bustling streets of Air Itam are always packed with locals and tourists alike, as it is renowned for its street food, Penang's signature biscuits such as Tambun biscuits, Tau Sar Peah and Heong Peah, and also the beautiful Kek Lok Si temple. Step into a festive mood with the red mini lanterns that adorn the streets during Chinese New Year. One of the most popular meals in Air Itam is Economy Rice, a dish where a variety of dishes are served in one plate or bowl at an affordable price. Although it is no longer as affordable as the name suggests, the variety and flavour of the dishes served at this stall make it worth the price. My favourite is the fried chicken - you won't be disappointed in the selection of dishes available here! Don't forget to end your day with a refreshing coconut drink to beat the heat! Come experience the best of Air Itam today!
