The price level is lower than tourist district e.g. chili's street. The kueh Pie Tee is impressive and curry Mee is quite spicy.

Highly recommended if you want to eat authentic Chee Cheong Fun ❤

Both sauce absoulty delicious, hence the flour rice are soft and thin.

A place you ought to visit whenever you have time ❤

I'm a regular for >2 decades. Best koay teow soup in Penang so far. Prefer it served in vermicelli/beehoon instead. Original owner retired recently but the taste remains the same.

Curry mee is also good, especially it's chilli paste. May close on some days unexpectedly.

This kopitiam has famous curry mee(famous for its chilli paste) and koay teow soup. Breakfast hour very busy.
The curry mee boss seemed a bit arrogant because he didn't give any response when I ordered, well maybe he's just toooo busy preparing the food. But very weird when the curry mee was brought to me there was no chilli paste at all. So what I had was just an ordinary curry mee with nothing surprising. 3/5
Koay teow soup is normal. 3/5
The wantan mee and char koay teow are great, I came back for them many times👍 5/5

One of the best breakfast local street foods in Georgetown however the cleanliness of the cafe needs to improve.
Wan tan noodle, chee cheong fun, curry mee and koay teow tng are 5 stars
My favourite corner to dine is at the back lane of the kopitiam - open air and breezy. Too bad sometimes you have smokers in the crowd

In the early morning, Georgetown is quiet. Most shops are closed. Just take the Penang Hokkien prawn Mee. Not an excellent choice but acceptable. I do not like the yellow mee texture and taste. The portion is big and the soup base is average.

Overrated...! Very tasteless and salty Koey teow th'ng for the Penang standard...even worse than good Koey teow soup in Klang valley...

Penang Hokkien mee/Har mee also tasteless, prawn was overcooked and hard...Chee Chong fun also very average...mediocre at most.

Why this place so high rated? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Surprised that food was lousy after seeing high score review...Maybe only tourists rate it...yeah, touristy spot, so cannot help.

In the same area, Kimberly street and Carnavon street night hawker Koey teow soup much much better. For chee chong fun, Red garden stall one was much better.

The curry mee and kway teow thng (ktt) was quite nice especially the latter- good environment and spaced out.

The ktt makes for a nice light hearty breakfast. Delicious soupy broth and the sellers are polite and customer oriented unlike some other hawkers we have encountered. I also enjoyed the dry version (instant noodles instead of kway teow) which was seasoned nicely with garlic fragrance. Their fishballs seem freshly handmade and are slightly different from the usual round bouncy commercial ones.

Come early for breakfast (before 8am) and have a walkabout the market after your meal.
