A link on one of your two major links to "Hawker Food" reminded me that Penang is not the optimal place to get that. Singapore is. I believe Anthony Bourdain had a whole program on hawker food in Singapore, which he rated generally extremely cheap and delicious.

I have just subscribed a magazine Sherman's Travel for high-end luxury travel (which leaves me out but it's fun to read it to learn things). One tour offered in the latest issue is in Singapore, a 3 hour $150/person, including food and transportation by www.makansutra.com. The review of that tour says:
Singapore's food culture is distinguished by its unique blend of Chinese, Indian and Malay flavors as well as popularity and high quality of its street carts. Some 40 years ago government official literally move all the vendors into regulated, sanitary hawker centers. Today there are 120 such stations, each containing about 150 stalls (wow, that's 18,000 total). Each stall specializes in just one or two dishes, such as fish-head curry, grilled stingray, or spring rolls of stewed turnips. In turn, every Singaporean approaches eating with a sports fan's fanaticism, each pledging allegiance to this stand of that vendor... K.F.Seetoh is the founder of Makansutra, Singapore's street and restaurant food bible. On the side he organizes tours of the city's top hawker stands. Even with a guidebook, finding these spots would be near impossible since many lack official names and clear addresses. His company can also arrange market tours, lessons on the country's cultural heritage and cooking classes.
