Jalan Burma, named after the British colony of Burma (present-day Myanmar), holds a significant place in Penang’s historical narrative. Originally known as Burmah Road, this thoroughfare was a vital route connecting the harbor to the city center during the late 19th century.

Spanning approximately 3.7 kilometers, Jalan Burma is one of Penang’s prominent streets, weaving through the heart of George Town from Pulau Tikus all the way to the heart of the city centre. This length encompasses a captivating spectrum of culinary delights, from traditional hawker stalls to modern cafes, reflecting the multicultural influences that define Penang’s UNESCO-listed heritage. For eateries that are within the Pulau Tikus section of Jalan Burma, you will see a Pulau Tikus notation on the location.
This guide is your passport to exploring the rich and diverse flavors that make Jalan Burma a culinary haven. Whether you’re a local connoisseur revisiting beloved haunts or a visitor eager to savor Penang’s culinary heritage, let your taste buds lead the way. Each dish is a chance to experience the cultural richness that defines Jalan Burma and contributes to Penang’s status as the “Pearl of the Orient.”
