This was my first time eating the koay teow thng at Lebuh Kimberley a few days night ago. Dad says the stall at the corner of junction of Lebuh Kimberley and Lebuh Chulia existed there a long time ago. It sounds famous so we went to try it out.
It’s called Ah Hai’s Instant Cooked Kaoy Teow Thng. I got to know about this name from the little signboard at the corner of the five foot path.
It’s not duck meat like at 7 Road but it’s pork. There’s also tur kua (pig’s liver) in it which I dislike it a lot. I did actually ask for extra ingredient but I didn’t know that it’s so many. It’s a big bowl of koay teow thng and I felt so full after eating everything. Not to mention the extra fish ball soup that dad’s ordered.
The soup is clearer than the one at 7 Road but I prefer duck meat more. This is not a bad one too but the fish ball lose out a little bit comparing to the one at Armenian Street.
In the heart of Georgetown, you can actually find a lot of nice food. One of which is a little stall in a little kopitiam that does fried related food like fried rice, fried Hainan noodle, fried hor fun and fried yin yeung.
I never know there’s nice fried rice in Penang until this visit to this little kopitiam (cafe) on Kimberley St (Lebuh Kimberley).
That’s the front of the coffeeshop kopitiam Yik Kheng Kee, the little stall is where the uncle does his fried (food).
We ordered 2 food, a plate of fried rice and fried hor fun. First up was fried hor fun (char hor fun), it’s not yin yeung (hor fun and bee hoon), but just hor fun. It’s quite nice, but a bit little. The egg is waterish or not well-cooked so that the gravy has a little bit of taste of egg. There’s prawn, a little bit of vegetable and hor fun itself.
Then the fried rice comes. It took quite some times like 15 minutes for the fried rice to be serve. Guess there’s a lot of people ordering it. The rice is nice, not very soft, and it’s not dark fried rice as you can see. Different fried style.
Well, I’ll say that I will visit this place again, cheap and good place for lunch.
