Penang: A Melting Pot of Cultures
Penang is a bustling melting pot of races and religions, where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together. Respect for religion and age-old traditions is heavily emphasised to maintain the spirit of a multiracial community that has long learned to live in harmony.
The multiculturalism of Penang has made it a food lover’s paradise and home to hundreds of colourful festivals that celebrate the diversity of Penang.
Easy-to-find Halal Restaurants
It is no secret that Penang is home to an ever-evolving and diverse selection of eateries—Muslim-friendly restaurants included. You will have no trouble finding halal restaurants in every nook and cranny. While most major eateries display the halal logo on their premises, others run their businesses based on consumer confidence. When in doubt, ask the operator if the dishes comply with religious rules.
