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.
