Hop onto the ferry in Pengkalan Weld to Butterworth and then onto Rapid Penang bus 604 to the Apollo day market in Butterworth. Just ask the bus driver to drop you off to the Apollo Market junction and he will oblige. The food stalls take up a large part of the market which stretches for about half a kilometre. Here, you order your food at the respective stalls before sitting down at a table. Miraculously, your food will materialise before you and bear in mind, when it gets busy, you’re required to share a table and who knows, you’ll get to know new friends. Food wise, sample the traditional food such as char koay kak that’s a stir-fried mixture of radish, bean sprouts, egg and rice flour. This combination does make wonderful comfort food.
