Lorong Macalister

Macalister Lane, or Lorong Macalister, is the first in a series of side roads and lanes between the two major thoroughfares of Penang Road and Anson Road. An off-road of Macalister Road, Macalister Lane was likewise named after Archibald Anson, the Lieutenent Governor of Penang in the 19th century.

Today, Macalister Lane is perhaps most famous for the Chee Cheong Fun located at Seow Fong Lye Coffee Shop.
