Ever watched Spongebob Squarepants and wondered how Krabby Patty taste like? While you certainly can’t have it in real life, your cravings can be simply fixed by heading over to the nearest burgers stalls. Whether be it chicken, pork, beef or even lamb patty sizzled and sandwiched between two buttered buns. You can choose the rest, pack it with vegetables or let it melt over a bed of cheese, so good and sinful. Without further ado, let’s get burgers with the Top 10 Burgers in Penang list.
The Good Old Roadside Burgers in Penang:
#1 Burger Ayam Goreng Njoy
Typical roadside burger stalls would often use Ramly patties, self-made patties or even the real deal. This is not the case for Njoy, they use neither any of those mentioned. Breaded crispy fried chicken sandwiched between colored buns and finishes off with a pool of homemade gravy, so good ! Yes their multi-colored buns such as pink, green, blue, yellow and black used to be a hype and still is. The fried chicken patty is so juicy and crispy, paired with their special gravy that tastes just like KFC mashed potato’s gravy. This is no doubt one of the best burgers in Penang, but the trip might be a little far.

We don’t need further explanation of this once burger stall turned burger shop, their ooey gooey melting cheese burger photos says it all. Rockstarz was forced to close down due to a fire previously and has recently reinstalled, opened back its doors to public.
