Kedai Kopi Bee Hong — Restaurant in George Town

Came on friday for brunch at 11am, not crowded, good air-circulation, had the cutest orange cats running around.

Drinks guy invited us to a table and quickly cleaned it, asked for our drink order & gave us food stall options. we thought he was gonna take food orders but apparently he just then calls the hawkers to our table.

they serve traditional breakfast options like kaya toast and half boiled eggs too. they also had some nyonya/malay kuih there

food was good, some hawkers will try to upsell your order, we accidentally ordered dumpling soup because the guy said something so fast we just said yes and ended up with extra food.

char kuey teow: out of this world, wok hey present and amazingly seasoned, good amount of taugeh rm7 wantan mee: huge portion of noodles, not very well seasoned, ok tasting charsiew rm7 wantan soup: standard wantan soup, could use a bit more msg (inc wantan mee) dumpling soup: crazy big dumplings, fillings had good amount of pork, prawn and raddish for an amazing bite. soup was on the sweeter side. (rm10) teh o ais: below average, no teh taste buts lots of ais. kurang gula but we prefer that way. price was rm2.50 😵‍💫

overall good stop for above...

We reached this non-airconditional coffee shop on weekdays at about 10am. There was a private parking carpark within 50m at RM2.50 per hour. The ambience of the coffee shop was ok and no sight of smokers within the premises. 30% of the tables were occupied. Ordering at individual stalls and waiting time within 5 minutes.

Fried koay teow was mediocre. Tsste wise, it was nothing special. Too plain and lacked of wok hei. RM8 per small serving with egg was valued for money as the ingredients were generous. 2 stars

Prawn mee was slightly above average. It's broth was flavourful, and the ingredients were appropriate. RM10 per small serving with only 2 small pork ribs, 3 pieces of small prawns, and half an egg. 3 stars

Wanton mee sauce was poorly made. It was towards tasteless end. Noodles were nothing special, and the wanton was a bit let down. Having said that, RM6 per small serving but with very generous ingredients of 4 pieces of wanton, 8 pieces of BBQ pork, and vegetables. The best from this stall wad the suikow dumpling. RM2.50 per pieces. It was delicious, juicy, and generous flavourful fillings. No wonder the stall was called king of suikow...

This charming traditional coffee shop, conveniently located right opposite Jen Hotel in Penang, is a great spot for a quick and affordable meal. The star of the place is the friendly uncle running the beverages stall—he’s incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and speaks excellent English, making the experience all the more pleasant.

The coffee shop hosts a variety of food stalls, and I decided to try the roasted duck and char kuay teow. While the food was average—neither outstanding nor disappointing—the prices were very economical, making it a decent option for a casual meal.

What really stood out was the uncle’s cheerful attitude and the laid-back, local atmosphere. If you’re in the area and looking for a simple, budget-friendly bite with a side of genuine hospitality, this coffee shop is worth a visit!
