Jelutong Market Putu Mayong Stall

Jelutong Market Putu Mayong stall (10 November 2012)


Jelutong Market Putu Mayong Stall is a roadside stall in front of Kim Hee Cafe. Although it is in front of the coffee shop, it appears to be outside the coffee shop itself, and on the road, which is Penaga Road.

The Jelutong Market Putu Mayong Stall is my wife's favourite. I am not that into putu mayong, so I seldom take it. Nonetheless, I can attest that this stall receives an endless stream of customers, so much so that people have to be told to return, as the seller could not make the putu mayong fast enough. My wife usually had to place her order, and return to collect it a little while later.

Getting there

If you're coming from Jalan Jelutong, walk down Penaga Road until you reach Kim Hee Cafe on your right, at the intersection with Ipoh Lane. Look for the putu mayong stall in front of the coffee shop. The area is very crowded with stalls operating close together and people jostling about to do their marketing.
