Chuan Foong Kopitiam (Yok Fong Cafe) — Restaurant in George Town

Didn't take detail picture of this place but is one of my favorite local "kopi tiam" or coffee shops. The owners and the workers know most people by their face and names. Some of the regular customers dont have to order and the shop assistance will serve the drinks without tell.

They serve local home staple cuisine such as economy rice with savory home cooked Penang style dishes such as belachan chicken, vegetable curry mix, lor bak and other Penang nyonya hokkien dishes.

The economy rice dishes sold out by 1pm and there are only left overs. My recommendation is to come at 10.30am when they serve the full buffet to choose from and the are busy for a good 1.5 hours before dishes runs out.

The other stall includes char koay teow and mamak mee goreng which sells throughout the day.

Favorite drink here are "teh tarik" (hot milk tea) and "kopi o" (black roasted coffee).

If you dont mind the local setting do try the...

Memorable flavours emanate, reminding of our family's customary stopover for a similar snack on the way to Penang Hill Cable-car station. Post pandemic, the stall has changed owners. The verdict is still out. Mug of...

I saw some yt vids recommending the place as one of the best mamak fried noodle in town, so went and bought a few packets. I thought the food was good and my family loves it. I'll be trying their pasembor n mee kuah too later. I saw that they also have keow teow grg/kuah if you prefer. Just ask... They open around 2pm n closes at 6pm or until their ingredients finish, whichever comes first. Price is at rm5. I would have put a pic of d noodles but I was too hungry and they were too good that I forgot to...
