Tiger Char Koay Teow 老虎炒果条 is the well claimed one of the best char koay teow in Penang. Many places in Penang serve Tiger Char Koay Teow including OO Cafe. However, for me, I still love the stall located at Ping Hooi Cafe on Carnovan Street. This stall Char Koay Teow is fried by Tiger’s wife and the koay teow is packed with chargrill flavor while the prawns are big and juicy. Moreover, for those that love duck eggs, they can be ordered to replace chicken eggs for a more bouncy and smooth texture.
Besides the Tiger Char Koay Teow here, there is another new stall that served classic and nostalgic Hokkien mee in this coffee shop too. The stall has been around at this place just recently and the broth is thick and flavourful, while the chili paste is spicy and packed with excitement.
