Penang is also an ideal destination for vegetarians as the veggie food scene in Penang is ever growing. There is an abundance of Chinese and Indian vegetarian food outlets that are suitable for vegans too. A number of Chinese vegetarian restaurants serve the vegetarian version of Penang’s local street food such as laksa, char koay teow, nasi lemak, curry mee and lor bak, where mock meat is used. There are also restaurants that serve purely organic food packed with loads of goodness.
