Lebuh Kimberley, Penang – Char Koay Teow & Koay Chap

At Lebuh Kimberley, we visited the much heard of 4 kings of Lebuh Kimberley, technically 4 stalls selling different famous food here. They are all located along Lebuh Kimberley in front of Kedai Kopi Sin Guat Keong. The char koay teow stall here uses charcoal fire and you will see a long queue of orders place. Besides the normal char koay teow, you can also ask to add extra goodies on it such as “her kor” which are fried shrimps meat.

The other goodies here is the koay chap stall which you can order an excellent bowl of yummy koay chap. The koay teow are soft and the soup is tasty plus the pork are very tender and soft inside. Accompany the koay chiap we ordered a plate of braised chicken feet and pork intestines. Again, they are cooked soft and tender yet tasty. Thumbs up here ;) .

The tong shui stall here are famous too but I am more eager for ambrah sern boi (ambrah sour plum) drink from the coffeeshop but a little dissapointment, too watery (I managed to get a satisfying cup at New Lane later that night).

I also tried the Nyonya bak chang from 1 of the stall here, its ok not too bad but not as good as the one from Siang Chiang in Melaka.

One comment through, food in Penang, quite expensive la, now that fuel prices is down, hope to see lower Penang food price soon, will be back for more Penang food in 2 coming trips soon :) .
