Koay Teow Soup

Kek Seng Coffee Shop famous for its durian ice-cream Ice Kachang and Penang hawker food like Koay Teow Soup, Penang Laksa, Loh Bak, Poh Piah , Java Mee and many others. It has lost some of its famous hawkers but the present lots still pull in the crowd.

We were there for lunch and it was still crowded. The Java Mee and the Koay Teow Soup have not been comparable with what we used to eat many years ago.
