Traditional Joss Stick Maker
About
Traditional Joss Stick Maker in Penang occupies a spot at 1, Lorong Muda in George Town, on an island where incense has long accompanied temple offerings and household altars.
George Town, Batu Ferringhi, Gurney Drive, Penang Hill and Balik Pulau sit within reach of this part of the island, and the heritage core of Georgetown lies close by. Visitors have given the workshop a 4.8 out of 5 average across 11 reviews, a score that reflects how those who seek it out respond to the craft on show.
First-time visitors should expect to watch joss sticks being made rather than browse a conventional shop, with the work itself forming the centre of a visit. The surroundings of Lorong Muda place the workshop among the streets of George Town, where much of Penang's older building stock survives.
Penang's equatorial climate keeps humidity high and rain possible throughout the year, so a light layer and an umbrella serve visitors well on most days. George Town rewards walking, and the town's food culture draws on Malay cooking traditions that meet along the same streets.
