Lengkok Burma (Burmah Crescent), George Town

Burmah Crescent, George Town, Penang (29 December 2018)


Lengkok Burma , formerly Burmah Crescent, is a minor road in George Town. This curving road links Burmah Road to Codrington Avenue. It also forms junctions with Solok Peirce, Jalan Peirce, Tingkat Burma, Jalan Raja Gopal and Lorong Thaton.

Burmah Crescent has one of the few pockets of undeveloped land in George Town. The area is called Lau1 heok3 Hnui2, meaning "wild pepper leaf plantation" in Penang Hokkien. You can even find here a few kampong houses, something astonishing as Burmah Crescent is close to the stately neighbourhood of Codrington Avenue.
