if you wish to try dishes that are unique to Penang (even within Msia)

penang prawn noodle (soup type)

penang white curry noodle

CKT as u already searched.

char koay kak

durian (different from johor and pahang durian)

as for specific stalls, it's tough to recommend as it's very subjective. And the locals won't eat at most of the tourist places. 

Georgetown is tourist-centric and it's easy to find everything there, although the durian sold there is marked up quite a bit for tourists. If you have a car, you can explore the rest of the island for more local fare.

How is the traffic jam in Penang these days? 

Going up next month but the jam is worrying, last time it took me almost 2 hours to get from Batu Ferringhi to Lek Kok Si. Crazy jam everywhere.

Was there last month, traffic is quite bad.

Rented a car from the airport and just drive everywhere.

Queensbay mall is probably the biggest mall there me think.

@Voodooman 

Same traffic jam around Geroge Town area but if possible, avoid going thru George town during peak hours. 

I stayed in Batu Ferringhi area last month. Took me 1 hour to drive from Batu Ferringhi to Lek Kok Si at around 3pm.

i usually get a hotel in Georgetown, park in the carpark and walk around for makan.

drive out only when going Balik Pulau/Ayer Itam.

traffic is heavy even when leaving Penang for mainland at 7am (weekday)
