The famous red hat aunty chef cooking the famous char kuey teow. Starting from RM12 for small portion, it is not cheap but taste is pretty good, considered one of the better ones around. Big prawn is fresh too and not overly done, wok hei is there. Other food options also available.

CKT was ok, price is 12 RM per portion. You get two shrimps for every portion. Service was quite quick. We went there for lunch on a Saturday and it was quite packed but we managed to get a seat. Place is also easy to find and spot because of the red hat lady.

I've heard of this Char Koay Teow for years but have never tried it until yesterday. Our verdict is that the CKT tasted so so, lack of wok hei and too oily. The only excitement is that there were 4 big juicy prawns. Each plate costs RM 15 (large), and RM 12 for normal sized CKT. So I'm not sure what the hype is about. The ambra juice was good though.

Nice char koay tew (fried kwetiau noodle). My friend must visit stall. Its trade mark is red hat auntie fried the noodle. The auntie always go to holiday or going praying far away, so the stall sometimes not open even it write open in maps

Portion average with tourist price ( bit pricy). The shrimp is large compare to other stall.
Beside koay teow, there are fried oyster serve from other stall too.

We came here for a quick tea break. Just needed to have some Char kuay teow badly. Lots of people recommended this place. Two ladies, one wearing a red headgear doing their job perfectly.

It rained heavily but that did not stop the ladies dishing out all the fried noodles. Everyone waited for their Char kuay teow patiently.

The noodles was ok, not fantastic. There are way better ones in Penang which we have tried.

The place was nice, good environment but parking was a bit difficult. Price wise, they are charging a little bit higher owing to the fame they are enjoying I suppose.

For those around the vicinity, can surely give it a shot.

Still one of the best Char Koay Teow around in Penang in my opinion. The wok hey is really good and this spot is a definite must try if you are visiting Penang. It’s always on my must visit list when I’m in town. Also worth getting the Orh Jian there which is above average in my opinion.

Normal kopitiam type experience. Indoor seating with some fan. Many drink choices here too. They charge 0.50 Sen if you don't buy a drink and 1RM if you bring outside drinks LMAOOO.

Had the char koay teow which came with 2 large prawns and thinly sliced lap cheong (Chinese sausage OMG). Prawns were really nice and overall flavour was good. It was quite salty though.

Ice kacang can come with sarsi on it but it kinda tastes like toothpaste. There's a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

I loved the muah chee! Chewy texture and peanuts+sesame had large chunks and finer powder. LOVELAYYY contrast.

To order, you can get from the stall in front of restaurant as well as walking along the road and ordering from the neighbouring stalls. Service in the restaurant is pretty good with workers walking around a lot; if they forget your order/request, just ask again :)

To be honest, it's ok only. The place is easy to find and not too crowded when I was there around 10+ in the morning. The char kway tiau is served with 2 giant prawns each. The prawns were super fresh and succulent. Flavor and taste wise were just ok. But pricing is on the high side for Char Kway Tiau, RM12 per plate is like 50% more than what you can find at coffee shops in Penang.
