Top Places For Char Kuey Teow In Penang
Barefoot Char Kuey Teow
I genuinely think this is much better than the other tourist-oriented char kuey teow stalls around Georgetown. The wok hei is awesome and the taste is flavorful. The price for a plate of char kuey teow here is decent and considered cheap too!

Siam Road Charcoal Char Koay Teow
The uncle used to fry the koay teow on a 4-wheel food cart. He’s well known for his smoky char koay Teow using traditional charcoal. However, his son has taken over the business now. If you’re feeling lucky, you may drop by to see if the uncle is cooking on the day and if he is, you should not miss this golden chance.

Khuan Char Koay Teow
If you want to skip the massive tourist queues and endless waiting times associated with Penang’s legendary char koay teow stalls, Khuan Char Koay Teow is the ultimate hidden gem.

The special part of this stall is that they serve their char kuey teow with fried mantis prawns (upon request). Pranws are big and juice but the noodles is quite bland. Be prepared that the waiting time is quite long.

This stall has been operating for over 35 years and what makes it so special? It’s still fried over a charcoal fire, giving it that irresistible wok hei that’s hard to beat.
