About this audio guide
This guide to Kimberley Street Food Night Market in George Town traces a lane the British named for the Earl of Kimberley but Teochew immigrants from Swatow called their own, hanging rice and wheat noodles out to dry across the road where hawker carts now sizzle each night. It follows how that century-old noodle trade gave way to the pushcarts, woks and simmering broths lining the street today. Listen for the sound of a wok being scraped clean as you walk past the smoke and the queues.
