Lebuh Chulia, Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. Plenty of hawker foods to choose from. The food we ordered not up to our expectations and will try others on our next visit hopefully. You may want to try wan tan mee as the stall having a long queue.
Disappointed with the oyster omelette. looked better than it tasted. Had to slather it with chilli sauce for any flavour. At RM18 for a regular plate, it’s a lot to pay for bad food
Simple coffee shops.
Blessed by location ~ tourist hot spot.
Coffee shop ha a very good wan tan mee.

This is a corner Kopi Tiam which thrives on the Street Food straddling Lebuh Carnarvon. We ordered the Mantis Prawns fried with curry leaves, Oyster Omelette & Freshly rolled Popiah. Drink choice was a refreshing glass of green Ambra juice.
Food arrived promptly.
Mantis Prawns RM14. Average.
Popiah RM6. Above Average.
Oyster Omelette RM18. Good, but not spectacular.
Would we return?
Only if it's raining...

Okay place to have breakfast. Surprisingly they serve good coffee (kopi c), crispy toast and nicely done half boiled eggs.
Also did tried out the Penang white coffee. Can't comments on it because no past experience, but it was alright and cheap.
Place was somewhat clean, service was fast, and friendly owner.
Take note that, food options quite limited in the morning (only 2 stalls operating) vs nighttime.

The beef soup noodles or fondly known as ngau lam mee (RM9.00) is a Cantonese variation from what is served in HK, with a darker soy base of dried mandarin skin, herbs and spices. The noodles are delicately cooked and the soup is nourishing despite its presentation. A young couple operates this stall, certainly 2nd or 3rd Choy generation as the stall claims a pre-war 1940 origin. A similar offering by octagenarian couple can be found at Kampung Malabar. The handcrafted wantons here (RM0.55 each) are filled with robust minced pork, lacking any shrimps, surprisingly on an island. The stall only operates on weekdays. Today, the beef brisket ran out, so you can settle for the Wantan Mee(RM5.50) plus beef soup (+RM1.00) to satisfy your carny binge.Coffeeshop offers homemade barley(RM2.00) and lohan guo(RM2.50) drinks.
Night comes alive on this street around 5pm when the dislocated Chulia Street hawkers gather. The stalls at this kopitiam also compete with fried noodles like Hokkien Char(RM7) with another offering "Chu Char" dishes like frog, fish and veggies.
