Chow Thye Road, Penang
Chow Thye Road (see map), or Jalan Chow Thye, is a minor road in George Town. It links Burmah Road to Irrawaddy Road. Chow Thye Road has an extension towards MBf Tower and Northam Tower.
Chow Thye Road was created in the early 20th century, when the area was redeveloped with brick housing. The houses along the road were originally residential in nature, but many has since been redeveloped to house businesses, particularly those in the food and beverage line. Among them include (in alphabetical order) Isaribi Japanese Restaurant, Ivy's Kitchen, JenxDan Lifestyle Café, Junction Restaurant and That Little Wine Bar. The main landmark at Chow They Road is Burmah Road Gospel Hall, which (at time of writing, June 2011) is undergoing expansion to house their Chinese and English-language assemblies.
