With a retro car parked in front of the wooden house and rows of pelita and lemang around it, the nostalgic scenes definitely hit home.

  1. Hi, does Penang street food/food shops/cafe usually closed during AidilFitri? I plan to visit there during the aidilfitri, however still pretty hesitant with the food attraction during the festivity.
