Burmah Road is a major thoroughfare in the city of George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. The 3.7 km (2.3 mi) long road is a major artery leading out of the city centre towards the suburb of Tanjong Tokong.[1]
Burmah Road is one of the few places worldwide that was named after the nation state of Burma (now Myanmar). As its name implies, the road was once home to a significant Burmese community. In addition, ethnic Eurasians and Thais still live at or around the vicinity of the road within Pulau Tikus, contributing to the street's multicultural character.
The road is also well known as one of the destinations in the city to sample the famed local cuisine.[2][3][4] The most popular hawker centres at Burmah Road are New World Park and the Pulau Tikus Wet Market.
