Ka Bee Café — Restaurant in George Town

We went there at the recommendation from Penang friend, and we were not disappointed. I chose the Ee Mee (RM$14) with added Fu Chow fish ball(RM$3). The broth was tasty, and Fu Chow fish ball was delicious and the fish was fresh and able to fill our stomach up. Yup, there is no much parking but as a foreigner, we took a grab here so not an issue. The restaurant was packed at lunch time (which indicates its a favorite among locals) but we were still lucky to get a seat in the aircon environment to get away from heat on 19 Apr 19.

restaurant has a neat setting where food orders are done on your mobile phone through a QR code. expect a certain wait time of at least 10mins especially during lunch hour. we arrived at the cafe for lunch at about 12.15pm on a weekday. there was ample seating. i had the tom yum soup base with thick noodle, fresh fish and minced pork balls. the bowl size was rather intimidating. i did not like my choice of noodles. it was more like ramen, that did not suit the spicy tom yum soup. the fish and minced pork balls were tasty and good though. while the soup was spicy and tasty, it did not have the signature sour-ness likened to tom yum. overall, the tom yum soup was more like a curry soup. finding a parking lot may be challenging. was a good try worth...
