7 Village - Abu Siti Lane ( NH )

7 Village is a real godsend to Penang Island.

Apparently they have been open for around 2 or 3 months already, but I just found out about it today.
Better late than never.

Yes, someone up there heard the islanders cries, for great damn blady shiok koay teow thng ( so hard to find nowadays ),with really,truly absolutely fresh ingredients ( even famous stalls dare give us rotten fishballs and pork that has been fed a cocktail of dangerous drugs ) , that we don't have to cross the bridge for.

Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng - Super Suck XXX ( NH)

Oily....sweet.....wrong recipe.

Most horrible ktt !
few fishball,small fibres of meat ....Costs $5 !!!

Who would have thought of using the thng for boiling kai see chook (chicken porridge) to cook koay teow thng ?

Koay Teow Thng - Kimberley Street (NH)

This was actually a very quiet street before a tv programme made a bunch of hawkers here so famous

Sadly, the stall in the picture below, 
is one of the last remaining handful that offers a decent bowl of koay teow thng , today, on Penang island
(there are so many horrible ones , let me tell you )

Glad to say that the owners have not let success go to their heads.They're one of the most humble, friendly and patient stall owners around.

My order comes complete with sliced red chillies ( rare ! )

7 Village Lin Restaurant HQ ( NH )

This restaurant has grown and evolved by leaps and bounds today

With 3 branches scattered around the major growth areas on the mainland, I'm wondering when they'll ever open up a shop on Penang island.

They've very successfully elevated the humble koay teow thng shop, into a modern cafe with the option to dine in airconditioned comfort

..or not, in case you prefer the old sweat shop treatment

Part of their success has to do with the generous portion.

Large bowl costs $4.50

Kedai Kopi Soon Yuen ( NH )

What's there to eat here for breakfast?

Believe me....a lot ....

Start with the best game textured duck meat dish you'll ever come across.

 Garnished with fried garlic, sawi and beansprouts.

Make sure you order this early or they'll only have the kampung chicken left ( which is way tougher ).

Sai Toh Lim Restaurant ( NH )

Their advent in this area when it was up and coming sparked off another competitor just behind their shoplot. That operator has since gone on to open another three outlets with a much spruced up look today.

Differing views from various customers who are already have dead set preferences, makes it best for you to come and try it for yourself and see which of the two you actually prefer.

Although they do serve dry hokkien mee, most customers go for the koay teow thn'g.

It is different from the Penang island version because over here they put some fishcake slices as well as minced pork in your soup

Heng Kee Koay Teow Soup, Chai Leng Park ( NH )

Update , August 2014 : have not seen the old man in a long time and the noodles are just not the same anymore

----------------

 This is the famous Wai Sek Kai in Chai Leng Park. 

Dark and dimly lit but alive with great hawker food.

I trek across the bridge quite often for the chicken koay teow thng, sold by Heng Kee, a mobile hawker stall run by this old couple.
