Jelutong, Penang

Jelutong is a town in Penang, Malaysia in the outskirts of Georgetown, the capital of Penang. The main road leading to Jelutong town centre is Jalan Jelutong. As this is a predominantly residential area, the major areas of interest are its famous local food stalls. A new coastal highway connecting Georgetown to Bayan Lepas named the Jelutong Expressway has since been constructed to solve the traffic woes on the main Jalan Jelutong.
