Make Butterworth’s Chai Leng Park wai sek kai your solitary must-visit destination and cast away all “hangry” fears when faced with the upcoming traffic congestion.

Let HungryGoWhere show you the best eats worthy of your Ringgit at this under-rated glutton street.

BBQ Chicken

Chew on this! Yummy BBQ chicken at Chai Leng Park goes for RM2.20 a wing, and RM2.40 for a drumstick. These honey-basted chicken tenders are grilled to perfection and are a great snack or side to have at this wai sek kai. They're open everyday except Wednesdays and alternate Mondays.

Nasi Lemak

Who can go without nasi lemak? These packets (RM6) are filled with all the necessary components, spicy sambal, succulent fried chicken, crunchy ikan bilis and slices of cool cucumber. Have one here or pack it to go! This stall runs every day except Mondays.

Wantan Mee

This slightly chewy wantan mee is our favourite! Choose between a small bowl for RM3.50, a medium-size for RM4, or a large bowl of these sweet soy soaked noodles at RM4.50. We especially love the crispy fried bits that come with it! You can snatch up a plate at their stall from Mondays to Saturdays.

Fancy a small snack? The putu mayam shop opens on weekdays, and has a special green coconut dessert topped with shredded coconut flesh and brown sugar. Prices vary on how much you’d like, but ours only cost RM2!

Hokkien Mee

At the exact same stall, you can get a plate of Hokkien mee (RM4 for small, RM4.50 for large) and even add a duck egg for an extra slurp-worthy factor at RM1! These noodles have plenty of wok hei and are a great alternative if hor fun isn’t your type.

Lok Lok

The highlight of Chai Leng Park’s wai sek kai is the lok lok stall! Red sticks of skewered goodies go for RM1.20, white sticks are priced at RM1.50, yellow sticks are RM2.00, and black sticks are RM3.00. They have fishballs, funny-shaped fish paste, and even deep-fried crabsticks! Catch their stall everyday except Mondays.
