Although Malay is the official language, most of the people here, especially the younger generation, speak English and many also speak Mandarin. Therefore, it may not be necessary to learn the local languages or dialects when ordering food. Always use simple English whenever possible and ask for help if they do not seem to understand you as people here are kind and willing to offer help, especially to foreigners.
There are many vegetarian restaurants and stalls throughout Penang state. Many vegetarian restaurants, particularly Chinese vegetarian restaurants（素 or 斋）, do not use five pungent roots (五葷) such as garlic and onions in their cooking due to Buddhist religious reasons. However, you may find that some of the dishes at Chinese vegetarian restaurants contain dairy or eggs (ovolacto-vegetarian). Indian vegetarian restaurants offer the second most common type of vegetarian food that you will find in Penang. It is common to find Indian vegetarian options even in an Indian restaurant that sells meat. It could be a good option if you cannot find a fully vegetarian restaurant around. Nevertheless, some of their dishes may contain dairy, butter or ghee.
