If you are looking for Penang Hawker Food in the evening, go to Restoran Bee Hooi located in Jalan Burma, 300m after the Jalan Cantonment junction (Pulau Tikus area) . The Coffee Shop opens only after 6 pm and the whole place comes alive with so many Penang Hawker food available. The Sar Hor Fun is famous and it is just good with the Burnt smell or aroma still intact.
We enjoyed the Sar Hor Fun for dinner and would recommend that you try it out.

Penang Hawker Food : Penang Assam Laksa

Pasar Air Itam Laksa stall next to the market

The place is limited in seats and is always crowded

The Famous Air Itam Laksa


The Penang Assam Laksa Stall is located next to the Air Itam Market along Jalan Air Itam towards the Kek Lok Si Temple. It is opened only in the afternoon onwards.

The soup is made from shredded fish meat and uses tamarind, lemongrass, lengkuas plus other herbs to give the stock its distinct and sour flavour. It is served with thick rice noodles garnished with shredded cucumbers, onions, red chilli, lecttuce, pineapple, mint leaves, ginger buds and lemongrass. The thinck sweet prawn paste - heh ko, is added to get the flavour and the special kick that makes the famous Penang hawker dish either like or dislike by foreigners and tourists.

Most locals love the Penang Assam Laksa and it is famous in Penang not for nothing. It is the favourite dish in Penang.

We went there for lunch and was crowded even when it was raining.

Penang Hawker Food : Char Koay Teow

Kafe Heng Huat in Lorong Selamat

The Famous Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow


Good News - the long queue in the sun is long gone for those who complained of waiting in the sun for your turn. Now you just order and sit in comfort in the Kafe (Coffee Shop) enjoying your drink and wait for your Char Koay Teow to be delivered to your table.

There is only one stall in this coffee shop. Everyone is there for the famous Char Koay Teow, so you can see how long you have to wait depending on the number of people in the coffee shop. At least, now we can enjoy our famous Char Koay Teow in peace.

It is still one of the best Char Koay Teow in Penang. The Kafe Heng Huat is located in Lorong Selamat.
