Tok Tok Mee-Sculpture

Located on China Street, the "Tok Tok Mee-Sculpture" is another delightful steel-rod caricature from the "Marking George Town" public art project. This sculpture pays tribute to a classic Penang street food: Tok Tok Mee. The name comes from the "tok-tok" sound that the vendors used to make by striking a piece of bamboo to attract customers. The artwork depicts the noodle seller with his mobile cart, capturing a scene that was once common on the streets of George Town. It's a nostalgic and charming piece that celebrates the city's rich culinary heritage and the hardworking street hawkers who have made Penang's food scene so famous.
