Which is the best one in the vicinity of Chulia St? TIA.

The only good thing about going on a visa run to Penang is the great Indian food that you can get there.

Wait a couple of days until you get back to Bangkok to eat Thai food.

I know but the wife won't eat it, so the request is as much on her behalf

I completely agree!

There is very good and inexpensive Indian food at well-stocked food stands in Penang. I tried the Malaysian food stands, but found Malaysian food to be quite boring and not with flavour profiles that pleased me. There is also a huge Chinese community on Penang but I don't recall seeing any available on the streets -- only restaurants. As for Thai food, I don't remember seeing any at all.

Then you'd better pack a large suitcase of somtam!
