There are PIFF events held across Penang throughout the nine days, starting with the Street Food Festival at Design Village Outlet Mall (Batu Kawan, Penang) on 20-21 August 2022 (5PM-11PM). This is the first time that a PIFF event is held on Mainland Penang. Design Village Outlet Mall became a super bustling place during the festival, with people thronging to the the location to enjoy the variety of street food. There were about 80 hawkers taking part in the event, serving Penang’s authentic street food. Visitors got to enjoy char koay teow, pasembur, satay, asam laksa, otak-otak, mee sotong, mee ketam, ikan bakar, kambing golek, burger, apom balik, putu bambu and many, many more.

Apart from food, visitors got to participate in carnival games. These carnival games were free of charge, and participants got to win prizes by accomplishing their game tasks. A clown was spotted modelling/twisting ballons into special “animals” and “toys” for children.

Visitors to the Street Food Festival were also entertained by bands performing on stage, belting out popular songs and music. The performances really spiced up the festive carnival atmosphere at the event.
