Best Char Koay Kak in Penang!

This is one of the BEST char koay kak I’ve tasted so far! The stall is located in front SJK Union school along Burmah Road.

Although it’s just a small stall, but there are customers patronizing it non-stop.

A plate of char koay kak with 100% wok hei.

The koay kak pieces is smaller compare to the other stalls that I’ve tried before. Therefore, each and every pieces of the koay kak is very flavourful. Not forgetting the lard, it definitely brings the char koay kak to the ultimate taste!

You won’t be able to find a single pieces of white koay kak here. Every pieces is coated with flavour. The only drawback is that the char koay kak is tad oily.

Click here for map. This stall is just located next to Apong Guan stall which sells the best apong in Penang. Best char koay kak with best apong!

Business hour: 7.0opm – 10.00pm (Closed on Saturday & Sunday)

    Fwoargh! I am finally going back to Penang this weekend and Char Koay Kak is top of my list! I was hoping to try out my favourite Anson Rd market one in the morning but maybe I can squeeze another one at night! :-P

    i dun mind a little grease, when the taste is so heavenly.
    yeah, small bite-sized pcs are best, to absorb the flavours and the charred aroma imparted by the hot wok.

    ew,
    Yes. It’s in front of Ghee Hiang but not exactly opposite. Look for the bus stop and the school. Hope this info is useful to you :)
