Hobart Lim

Still the best Penang CKT. Strong wok hei, flavorful, and best of all, the correct ratio of lapcheong (Chinese sausage ) to cut through the oil and saltiness. Taste tested against Tiger and Lrg Selamat

Stewart Tan

By far one of the best char kway teow in Penang using pork lard and charcoal fire. Come before 3pm if you don't want to wait an hour for a plate or for a table. Uncle cooks by the road side!

John Reyes

Be prepared to wait about 30mins or so for your order. It's well worth it when you try it tho. You can wait at the kafe and order a minuman while you wait & they'll serve your order of Char Koay Teow !

Chris Lee

They have moved to a shoplot 200m away from the original push cart place. Rm7.50 for this big plate with egg . Rather small to me and ordering can be very chaotic as the son is a very forgetful person.

Super nice charcoal char kuay teow by the roadside. The char kuay teow has a nice fragrance of lard seasonings, I waited for around 25mins for this kuay teow and it's worth waiting for! :)

Chris Lee

I cant deny this uncle really fry good CKT . Secret ingredient is the pork lard and of caz the charcoal fire. Bear in mind that the CKT indeed very oily and slightly wet.

Kelvin Ooi

Hands down, seriously and honestly the best CKT in Penang Island ! Beats the other competitors like the ones in Lorong Selamat by a mile!

Ivy M

Yummy charcoal fried kway teow and the uncle uses pork lard oil to fry ???? Better to take away cos the plates and chopsticks for dine in are not thoroughly washed.

Daphne Goon

Best char kuey teow ever! Flavourful with si hum and lap cheong..yummy!❤️ be prepare to wait for an hour though

Minnie Chew

Really good and the thumb up for this delicious char key teow. Went there on a raining weekday, so waited in the opposite shop.

Vincent Wong

Very cheap and tasty char kuey teow . Top 3 in Penang...#1 char kuey teow goes to Khoon Hiang ah Leng char kuey teow ! ;)

Alyssa Ng

Worth the 45 mins to 1 hour wait. The old uncle will be fanning and frying each plate while his son will be taking and distributing orders, eat in or take out . Charcoal powered ckt!

Chrysandra Ong

Come for few time but cnt wait, this time I came 2:30pm, finally I got it first time and it's damn nice, the best I ate before!worth to wait

William Wilstroth

Best Char Koay Teow in town ! It's cheap and it's two thumbs up! Plus you can have it by the roadside. This is the place where local Penang goes to!

Mary Lee

Worth the wait. Being a friend to stand in line and get seated while you wait and have an icy watermelon juice

John Marsland

Best ckt in Penang. Order from the old dude cooking and sit inside nearby. Worth the wait!

Eric Yong

Is a must try CKT... but get ready to wait for 1-1.5hours for a plate of CKT... if you running out of time just try next time... Nice CKT...

Cherrie Pei

The Char Koay Teow is awesome! But waiting time is around 1 hour =\ worth waiting anyway????

John117

It was slightly above average- the charcoal frying style imparted a nice taste especially with the crunchy pork lard . A bit long waiting time despite coming at off-peak, owner was not very helpful.

Herman Lee

I think priorities are given to those who wait and sit at the café from across instead of those who queue in front of the stall.

Christopher Roulston

Very nice char Teow. Nice to watch the chef make everything so methodically. Cheap too, 7RM

SG FoodTravel

Go early else queue for one hour. Order a coffee nearby and eat this charcoal CKT. Get a large plate.

Marcus Lee

At its new location, you only need one person to line up to order and your party can sit first. Would have been helpful to know 30 minutes ago

Croco Alista

Waited for 2hrs but it’s worth ! It’s so delicious ! Definitely best CKT in Penang !

Julie Chan

Best char kuey teow I have ever had, business extremely good. A lot of people waiting in the opposite coffee shop

David Chua

Char kuey teow has a moist texture towards it, but still one of the best. Personally I'd give it an 8/10.

Alan Guan Cheong

Very Good taste CKT, i love it, very strong "wok yin meh" but have to wait at lease 1 hour plus, super Long Q ????

Josephine Neoh

That is not enough for u if u just order the normal potion bcz it was jz too yummylicious!! The price is reasonable n the uncle is friendly .. No regrets!!

Elysia Ong

The waiting time is crazy; we've waited for more than an hour. The char kway teow has lots of ingredients and is pretty flavourful.

Jun Heng

Kenneth Wong

Best CKT in Penang. Cheap and need to come early to avoid long queue.

Ivan Pig

The people here are crazy, would wait one hour for this. But it is just too damn tasty

Anna NC

Closed temporarily maybe.Unknown when re-open. Asked Uncle at coffee shop opposite, seems like owner has not opened for days. Possible owner is a resting due to all the stress, since he's quite old.

Charlie Tan

Must try kuey tiao with plenty of flavors

Bumblenee O.

Ameline Lai ????

Bestttttttt Char Koay Teow ever!!!! Always get more clam hehe. If really hungry will order another plate!

Daphne Seow

One of the best CKT. Fried over charcoal fire. Super oily but I guess that's what makes it so tasty!

Cara Delavingne

You can eat in kopitiam opposite this uncle . Good sedap and lazat CKT!

kay lim

Very nice and delicious. But priority for those olds customer... So wait for 1-1.30hours...

Michael

Tried on a Saturday at 6pm but it’s closed. Neighbor said to come back Monday after 3pm.

Sammie

Very flavorful char kwey teow but a tad bit too oily. Uncle cooks them at his own pace so be prepared to wait for a bit.

Steven See

Taste is good.. Order big and small size but turn out all the same portion. So advise to order small size as there is no difference.

Gary Hor

Good Char Koay Teow . The wait can be a bit long sometimes.
