Pasar Chowrasta Market

Chowrasta is the oldest market in George Town and a significant landmark. The ground floor houses a wet market, while the upper floor includes a second-hand book market. The front section is famous for selling Penang's signature pickled fruits (jeruk) and local snacks.

It caters heavily to both locals buying fresh ingredients and tourists looking for edible souvenirs. The surrounding streets are also filled with vendors, making it a bustling center of activity that showcases the heritage and culinary depth of Penang.
