Cheap rice & dishes place @ Khoon Hiang

If I were to mention Khoon Hiang coffee shop to you, you'd probably associate it with the famous Ah Leng char koay teow place. However, this time I am posting on the "chu char" stall at this coffee shop at night.

My mom was raving about the good food at cheap prices at this place, and I was told to go early to avoid the crowd. So off we went at 6pm. We were the only ones there ... what crowd? Even the kopi seller looked bored. I began to have doubts in my mother's recommendation. Better not put so much hope on this place, I thought to myself.

Amazingly enough, within half an hour's time, people started flowing in, and soon the whole place was packed to almost full! And the "chu char" did not disappoint. We ordered 3 dishes, and all 3 tasted very good. Perfect for a simple meal. When the bill came, I almost couldn't believe the price (RM32++), and actually went to double check with the staff.

Kafe Khoon Hiang is opposite Honolulu Cafe in Dato Keramat Road

Asparagus fried with sambal

Marmite chicken. The best I had in Penang so far (the best is still in Puchong). My only complaint here is they used chicken wings. I'd prefer more meat and less bones.

The "star" of the day, prawns cooked in Indonesian style. Or bamboo prawns. There were 5 or 6 big prawns in here. YUMZ!
