Known for the famous Penang Rd Teochew chendol, sit inside Joo Hooi cafe and try the delectable Assam Laksa , as good as the the Air Itam Assam Laksa .

Edd

Come now, kids. Stop squabbling over which cendol shop is more famous/better in taste. If u could tell the subtle difference, if any at all, let us all hail you, Honorary Cendol Connoisseur, OBE.

Good Assam Laksa and Cendol here???????? Cendol can be ordered in from the stall outside. Just pay a minimal surcharge and u can enjoy it sitting down.

Penang Laksa and Penang Road famous Cendol . The service is fast and efficient. Need to have quick reflexes to get a table!

Alex

Always crowded . You can find almost every penang street food here!

Nancie M

The char keoy teow with duck egg was delicious, and there were lots of prawns . Price of the water was outrageous at 1.7MYR. I enjoyed the cendol , too.

Steron.s

Beware of which stall of cendol you want. Old aunt will get you from orange instead of blue (famous) one. She cheated me coz she collect $3 instead of 2.40 + 50sen surcharge. But i want a blue...

You've not been to Penang if you haven't tried the char koay teow here! The best I've ever had????

Boon

Char Kway Teow is much tastier than the famous Sister's or Lorong Selamat one. You can taste the wok hei in the noodles . Also, good consistency in quality even during peak hours.

Adrian Chan

The char kway teow have dropped standard tremendously. No longer one of the best in Penang. The chendol outside is still the most popular in Penang Street.

Rebekkah Paulette

Char Kuey Teow , Assam Laksa , Cendol in the side street... This place has it all! And they're all in small portions so feel free to try them all.

Chris Lee

Penang style famous cendol spot.. Ask to add extra corn for better taste

K B

Get all the classics here - laksa , char Kwan teow, lot bak, cendol . A bit touristy

Shirley

Famous Teochew Chendul always in my to eat list when I visit Penang

Piccy Loke

Sherly Ls

Char keoy teaw and asam laksa very nice. And the famous cendol just outside this cafe .

Erene

Like the old style environment !! Food and drinks is delicious !

Ahn Bustamante

A little crowded , but the Assam laksa tastes really good!

Shermal

Has the best Oh Chien in Penang hands down. Fried by a heart warming elderly couple.

Wenye Oh

Must try cendol ! Penang Laksa ! Penang White Curry !

Chi Yen

Famous laksa & cendol are found here!!!

YinYin

Not sure y they wanna charge u extra 50cents for chendol when u bring in to shop. Char kuey teow stall needs u to Q for urself when is crowded :)

Julian Lim

Buy cendol , eat here in the shade. Cos cendol guys own the place too. #likeaboss

Badderflyy

The teowchew chendol is to die for!

Paul Kelly

Share the Chendol and Ice Kacang in a cosy little booth

Valentino Choo

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul & Ais Kacang. Long queue but fast moving. Price as of Dec '12, Standing = RM2.00; Take Away = RM2.30; Eat In = RM2.50.

Julian Lim

Pie tee here is disappointing by Singapore standards. Cheap though. RM5 for 5 in 2018.

Rebekkah Paulette

Kuey Teow and Cendol is delicious. Nasi Lemak packets also good.

See Lok Ng

You gotta be kidding me. So many ppl but nothing is nice here. There are some nice looking tourists from time to time. And tv celebrities.

Greg Clarke

Best Char Kuay Teow anywhere. Get an Ais Kacang outside and be prepared to wait.

Wen Yi

Seriously overrated. Tasteless prawn mee , laksa ,lo bak, char kuey teow and cendol . The shop is dark and lack of space. Aunty who take order for drink is angry because you only order water.

L to the F

Curry mee so low profile n no hype. Personally loved it 4.50

Sharon Wang

Fantastic kuoy teow theng ... Must try

Yiinngg

Service here so lousy!! Omg unhygienic as well .. They even use finger to place order.. ????

Jason Gan

If you wish to bring cendol into the cafe they will be an extra RM0.50 surcharge which they explained it is to help you deliver the bowls back to the cendol stall. Exp service charge thou.

Rainnie Ewe

For who take away the char kuay teow,cannot sit on those empty seat while u r waiting for so long. The waitress will scold u. Nothing surprise about the Char kuay teow.

Esther Lim

The cendol outside this shop is d best, not those inside d shop. If u order fm outside they will charge u extra rm 50 cents extra for every bowl .

Colin Charles

With the management changes in early 2016, this place has lost its charm. Go down the road for the asam laksa . Original kuey teow requires you to queue. #lame so I'd give this place a skip

Lee Chin Beng

Order blue bowl cendol from outside and bring into kopitiam

Michelle Chia

Laksa,cendol and char kuey teow is the best

Jovan Tan

Must try chendol ... Char kuay teow is just average.

Nicole chew

The kopitan auty are all bad temper.They always speak loudly with customer.RM0.50 for outside chendol if the customer din order beverages inside kopitiam.

Jen Liew

Come for the Cendol .. Asam Laksa .. Popiah .. yum yum~~

wawa meowmeow

FAVE CKT! ADD DUCK EGG ! ADD SIHAM! ADD SPICYYY! <3<3<3<3<3<3

Hitomi Ng

Char kuey teow was less spicy than I like, not enough lap cheong, can't custom order. Mai hiam beh Pai la.

SomChun Malikul

The Assam Laksa in Gurney drive is more better!

William Wilstroth

Laksa has shrunk in size of serving. Char Koay Teow standard has not drop. Well maintained. LoL!

Alex Ang

Try the Asam Laksa - Asam Laksa one of the best in Penang :-)

Mushi

They have increase the surcharge RM0.10 to RM0.60 for bring in cendol to kopitiam regardless u order drinks from them or not!!
