 Dato Kramat Market, Penang
Dato Kramat Market is one of the older markets in George Town. It is located near the junction of York Road. It marks the end of Jalan Air Itam and the beginning of Jalan Dato Kramat. This section of town is known in Hokkien as See Kham Tiam, meaning "Row of Four shophouses". I have to say I am not sure whether the four shophouses that gave this place its name still exists.
The Dato Kramat Market is built in the Art Deco style. Today it still functions as one of the main markets in town, despite its relatively small size.
Getting there
Coming here by car will be a problem, as parking space is very limited - you can try to find some along Jalan Utama, near the Penang General Hospital, some 10 minutes walk away. It is a better idea to use the bus. Rapid Penang Bus 201, 202, 203 and 204 pass through here.
