Food courts and coffee shops in Penang will face revocation of licences if they allow foreigners to cook 13 local dishes from next year.
: Food courts and coffee shops in Penang will face revocation of licences if they allow foreigners to cook 13 specific local dishes from next year onwards, according to a new ruling nearing approval.
Currently, this rule applies solely to hawker centres and food courts owned by the Penang Island City Council .MBPP councillor Tan Soo Siang revealed the move follows numerous complaints aimed at preserving the authentic taste of local cuisine. “Once the paper is passed in our full council, we will certainly give a grace period for them to do the necessary adjustments.“Those which fail to comply will first be issued with notices. If they still fail to comply, then they will have their licences revoked,“ she toldThis policy builds on a previous 2014 state government ban, implemented in 2016, restricting foreign cooks at all MBPP hawker centres and food courts.
