Penang Char Koey Teow (Part2)

Real McCoy - Ah Leng

At the junction of Datuk Kramat Road and the access road to turn into the city stadium. This corner coffee shop stands as shown in the picture below
Each Morning you will see Ah Leng at work .
Never miss this food while you are in Penang. Here the past time is to compete in serving the best for their business.
Ah Leng preparation is wet with of lavish presence of beaten egg. Then, typical of all Penang Fried Koay Teow, getting the a niche, means - giant size prawns are included.

Attending to a small group of dedicated followers who will make their way there, no scene of a big crowd. In the morning, those who have time, need not dash across town just to taste his cooking. This is the ideal environment and also here the best spot. To savor the best Penang can offer. Even though you are a late riser, he is still around by noon time.
Here Ah Leng caters for his die hard fans and locals staying around that area. Ah Leng charges Rgt 3.00 per plate basic and better be there before 1.30 pm.
In the morning. there would be a flea market in the car park of the stadium. Just behind the shop.

I cannot say that conditions in this coffee shop is excellent. In fact you can see that this shop had seen better years.
The narrow shop of a by-gone era has barely enough space for 2 rows of tables.

"Sisters" of Macalister Road

Look for this 5 junctions "Round About" of Macalister Road and Perak road. You will see 2 short rows of ancient shop houses. This place is really out and away from the urban Georgetown. Some distance away from most eating places and hustling town center. From the picture below, you could make out some push carts outside. The stalls doing the Fried Koay Teow are hidden from view.The coffee shop where the stall is located is in much better looking than almost many other stalls. A plus to breed confidence to visiting crowd. Those who are not so often in Penang would flock to "the" place.

This is a long standing acknowledgement that the sisters here served good food. The crowd grew. That was a few years back, the sister's place was so well acclaimed.
Now the local crowd decided to try some new faces.

In this picture, you see. Business goes on as usual with or without the migration elsewhere.
Can't remember the name of the shop or how this synonyms of "sister" came about. You can see here, a plucky middle age lady is dishing out her best serving.
With the hope that would keep customers coming back. More so for those arriving in limousine, as seen in the picture above.

The place too, caters for the lunch crowd. They close slightly later into the afternoon. Office workers who are here for late lunch.
