Bayan Baru Market Food Court at Sunshine Square
Location: 1, Jalan Mayang Pasir, Bandar Bayan Baru, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Sunshine Square
Stalls within the food court offer a cross-section of Penang's beloved street food, with particular strengths in char kway teow, Hokkien mee, curry mee, and nasi lemak. Other common offerings include economy rice, fried chicken, rojak, and fresh fruit juices. Individual stallholders typically specialise in one or two dishes, and the quality varies from stall to stall, with a few earning word-of-mouth reputations among locals. The atmosphere is unpretentious and functional: shared metal tables, plastic chairs, and a roof providing shelter from Penang's heat and rain.
The food court opens from early morning, with some stalls ready by 7am, and winds down by mid-afternoon. Prices are very affordable, with most dishes under RM10.
