Penang Hawker Food : Kafe Mandarin

KAFE MANDARIN - Lorong Delima 6 - PENANG

Kafe Mandarin

There are many Penang Hawker Food stalls in the Kafe Mandarin

Penang Char Koay Teow

Penang Laksa

We went to look for old Kedai Kopi Genting in shoplot at the junction of Lorong Delima 6 and Lorong Delima 3 in the evening for dinner but found it empty but directly behind Kedai Kopi Genting, there is the new Kafe Mandarin brightly lit-up and full of people.

We decided to give it a try. There are many stalls selling all the different Penang Hawker food - Char Koay Teow, Pan Mee, Hokkien Mee, Laksa,Koay Teow Soup, Popiah, Chicken Rice, Indian Nasi, Rojak and many others.

We had Penang char koay teow and Penang laksa. The Char Koay Teow was quite good for MR2.80 only. The Penang Laksa was a disappointment as it was not up to standard even though it was only MR2.50.

Char Koay Teow

The Char Koay Teow with eggs cost us MR5.50 for each plate. It is not as good as the one up the road fried by his mother. It is rather bland and the koay teow is over cooked until they came in pieces rather than in tact. The big prawns save the day.

Ice Kachang

The Ice Kachang with ice-cream is good and not so sweet. It is recommended as a dessert if you do eat in the coffee shop.

Overall, we enjoyed our lunch in the Kedai Kopi & Ice Kachang in Lorong Selamat. There are many other push-carts selling other Penang hawer fares outside the coffee shop. If you looking for a place to have lunch in Penang, do go to Lorong Selamat.

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.
