Burgers are favourable by almost everyone ranging from childs, adults, to the old ones. Are you a burger lover too? If yes, do you know the origin of burger? Well, the name “hamburger” comes from the seaport town of Hamburg, Germany. So, it is where the 19th-century sailors brought back the idea of raw shredded beef after trading with the Baltic provinces of Russia. I believe most Malaysians love burgers very much. No matter burgers from McDonald’s or just roadside Ramly Burger, these list of burgers in Penang would definitely satisfy your taste buds and tummy!
