Little Penang Street Market

While dining at Nyonya Breeze one of those nights, we came across a brochure on the Little Penang Street Market. It sounded really interesting so we decided to make it a date.

The Little Penang Street Market is held every last Sunday of the month on Upper Penang Road. This bazaar aims to promote talents in the form of handicrafts or acts. Other than the customary handmade costume jewellery and accessories such as handbags, there were some really interesting eye openers. I found this lady sewing all these cute little baby booties by hand! And an ex-headmaster folding and selling these:(!)


patriotic paper planes!
Food is served but can be very pricey! A packet of plain Meehoon Siam costs RM3. Papa Lee's pick and mix Nyonya meal costs a whopping RM8 with just three scoops of different dishes and some rice!

One of the stalls had a lot of people crowded around it. I went to take a peak and found Nellcis Home-made Snacks selling a range of cakes! They all looked so good and were selling like, well, hot cakes! I wish I can have a piece each! In the end, I settled for the Russian Marble Cheesecake and Cempedak Cake. I must say the Cempedak Cake is heavenly, if you love cempedak like Mama Lee but the Russian Marble Cheesecake was good too! They were also selling the conventional carrot cake and moist chocolate cake as well as others like pumpkin cake and durian cake. Each piece of cake is priced at about RM5-6. Cakes are baked fresh every morning. Nely wakes up at 4am to bake!! If you are interested, you can contact Nellcis at:

The Little Penang Street Market can be a fun outing for the whole family. However, if you have little one, the environment may not be very conducive. We were lucky that the weather was cool when we were there. Otherwise, it can be pretty humid and slightly crowded. Anyway, it can still be a fun outing if everyone is in the mood for it!
