  • Pitt Street Koay Teow Th'ng — dish from the review

    Ah Boy Koay Teow Th’ng: while the flavour of the Koay Teow Th’ng is milder at Ah Boy, the name is quite prophetic! That’s the sound that will come out of your mouth as you gulp on this comforting soup.

    I really liked Ah Boy Koay Teow Th’ng at Clarke Street, sometimes referred to as “Clarke Street Koay Teow Th’ng Stall”. A second-generation family-run shop which was also awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, Ah Boy Koay Teow Th’ng presents a…

    Penang is a wonderful place where you get to find hidden gems everywhere; on one of my serendipitous encouters recently, I've found a Koay Teow Th'ng stall, tucked within a small alley along Lebuh Clarke. Business was brisk and many seemed to be regular patrons at this stall.

    Can you believe the small alley at the quiet street namely Clarke Street, one of the best Penang's koay teow th'ng is hidden there? By only selling koay teow th'ng and tauge chicken, the alley has been frequently visited by patrons for at least 30 years.

    Stumbled upon this little alley-style spot by accident and immediately walked in because the vibe was exactly my kind of place — simple, easygoing, and quietly charming.

    I arrived at the restaurant around 8am on Saturday and ordered a large bowl of soup noodles and bean sprout chicken. I was told I could pay later, so I sat down and ordered a drink.

    This hawker wasn’t originally on our list, but since it was right next to our Airbnb and always packed (especially on weekends), we decided to try it before leaving town. We ordered takeaway since we were just next door.

    Ok, so to find this place, you look for the noodles cart in the alley beside the corner shop. You order at the cart and you can sit at one of the tables in the alley or in the corner shop.

    Love the soup here. It is light but full flavour perfect for breakfast. The meatball has a light gingery taste which balances the meat flavour with fish ball. Fish ball has a bouncy bite to it.

    It's been a while since I've been here... I happened to be passing by and remembered this place, one of the few in Penang that uses old hen soup base. Since I was already here... I turned in for breakfast... Mmm...
