Pulau Tikus Market (GPS: 5.43052, 100.31204) is the market for the Pulau Tikus neighbourhood in George Town, Penang. It is often called the rich man's market, as it is the watering hole of the affluent Pulau Tikus neighbourhood. The hawkers here have a reputation of giving a rich man's price for everything sold, so you would do well to compare prices. The market building is along Jalan Pasar while the market itself spills onto Jalan Moulmein. Jalan Moulmein has a number of coffee shops offering a good selection of hawker food, among them 77 Food Yard, Sin Hup Aun and Swee Kong.
In the evening, the Pulau Tikus Market Hawker Centre operates along Jalan Pasar in front of the market. The hawker centre is a popular eating venue among the locals of Pulau Tikus.
