Air Itam Market (Pasar Air Itam)

Air Itam Market is a bustling traditional wet market and food court complex that transforms from a morning produce market into an evening food paradise. By late afternoon, hawker stalls set up serving breakfast favourites turned dinner items - chai tow kway (fried radish cake), fried oysters, Hokkien noodles, and laksa. The market has authentic local atmosphere with minimal tourist presence, making it a favourite spot for serious food hunters seeking genuine Penang street food. The chaos of the market adds to the authenticity and energy of the dining experience.
