3.7(164 reviews)

About

Found on Penang, Bata occupies the ground floor at 120, Jln Macalister, 10400 George Town, Pulau Pinang. The address places it along one of George Town's main arteries, within reach of the heritage core and the Gurney Drive seafront.

Getting there from Batu Ferringhi, Tanjung Bungah or Teluk Bahang means a drive down the island's north coast into the city, while Balik Pulau sits across the hills to the south-west. As a shoe shop, Bata stocks footwear, and the 3.7 out of 5 average across 164 reviews reflects a steady stream of local custom. The website at https://www.bata.com.my/ carries the brand's own information.

George Town's grid makes the shop easy to fold into a day of errands, and the surrounding streets hold much of the island's commercial life. Penang Hill and the heritage quarter lie within the same part of the island.

Malay is the national language, with English, Mandarin, Tamil and Chinese dialects widely spoken, so getting directions is rarely difficult. Rice and noodles form the base of most meals, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, and public holidays such as Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali can affect opening times.
