Pe3nang1 Ciak1 
is the section of Penang Travel Tips where I talk about Penang food, in Penang Hokkien. Food is such an integral part of living in Penang, that it is almost impossible to talking about living in Penang without any mention of Penang food. The term "Pe3nang1 Ciak1" simply translates as "Penang food", of which it can be broken down to sio1huan1 ciak1 (hawker food), Nyo3nya3 ciak1 (Nyonya food), kueh4 (local pastries), and so on. The purpose of this section is to provide people - locals as well as visitors - exposure to Penang Hokkien, both the spoken and the romanised form. In these passages, Penang Hokkien is written using the Taiji Romanisation, which you can learn for free at Memrise, and you can reference the online Penang Hokkien Dictionary.
