Penang Hill Food Pavilion, Penang
Penang Hill Food Pavilion is a new three-storey food centre in Penang Hill. It replaces the Penang Hill Hawker Centre. The food pavilion has a built-up area of 12,000 sq ft and affords a splendid view of George Town spread out below. The view is particularly beautiful at night, when the city lights up.
The Penang Hill Food Pavilion is expected to be operational from January 2012. This is a delay from the earlier scheduled completion for November 2010, due to unwillingness of hawkers to vacate the old hawker centre. The new pavilion can accommodate 33 hawker stalls, including the 25 hawkers from the old centre.
The Penang Hill Food Pavilion will include a recreational walking path, a visitor centre and three tiers of outdoor dining. It is within a short walking distance from the Upper Station of the Penang Hill Railway.
