Gurney Drive is a seaside boulevard along the northwest coast of George Town, lined with upscale apartments, Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon shopping malls. At the north end of the road, the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre opens every evening and is the most concentrated food landmark for visitors. It offers Penang char kway teow, Assam laksa, Hokkien prawn noodles, oyster omelette, rojak, chendol and much more. Most stalls accept only cash, so after finding a seat, note your table number before ordering. The seaside walkway is good for a stroll after dinner. It is about a 10-minute Grab ride from the Old Town.
