Located in George Town, Penang, Shantou Street (Kimberley Street) is a famous food street in the old district. The seemingly ordinary street in the morning turns into a gourmet pilgrimage site in the evening, which even foreign media are rushing to report on. Whether you are a local diner or a diner here, the food here will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

Names not listed in order:

1. 汕头街权记鸭粥粿汁专卖店 Restoran Kimberly Kuan Kee

The first is the super hot Kwon Kee Duck Kuey Sauce.

The so-called kueh juice is a common snack in the Chaoshan area, usually with ingredients such as duck meat, duck blood and pig offal, kueh juice and marinade.

At about 6 o'clock, the store began to slowly crowd. I saw a pair of skillful hands of the store shuttle between various ingredients, and put duck and other ingredients into the bowl, and then poured the marinade that has been boiled for several hours, and a bowl of hot kueh juice was born.

The kuey juice made of rice milk has a strong rice aroma, springy and refreshing, and the duck meat is sweet and tender, and it is very delicious when mixed with the rich and fragrant marinade.

Editor's tip:Since Kwon Kee's duck porridge and kway gravy is really popular, it is recommended that friends who want to eat it can come earlier.

2. 汕头街四果汤 Traditional Home of Dessert (汕头街四果汤)

Four Fruit Soup, as the name suggests, is cold sugar water with 4 different fruits, namely: ginkgo, lotus seeds, longan and red beans.

Since its opening in 1933, these four fruit soups can be regarded as a well-known time-honored brand in Shantou Street. Their signature is Healthy Four Fruit Soup. The sweet and delicious syrup, together with ingredients such as red beans and lotus seeds carefully brewed by the boss, is a good choice for refreshing and relieving heat!

In addition, red bean soup, peanut paste, longan soup, etc. are also sold here for diners to choose from.

The almond tea is also one of the signatures. The almond tea is hand-ground and boiled from northern apricots. It not only has high nutritional value, but also has a rich and smooth taste. It is worth a try when paired with the fried dough sticks provided.

3. 天皇鸡脚果条汤 – Sky Emperor Chicken Feet Koay Teow Soup 

Speaking of Tianhuang, we have to mention their two major signatures: Guotiao Soup and Braised Chicken Feet.

The soup is light but still delicious. With rich ingredients such as fish balls and shredded pork that the boss puts in, every bite is full of traditional Penang flavor. As for the stewed chicken feet, it is my favorite. It is not only salty, fresh and tender, but also super soft and delicious. You only need to sip the flesh and bones to separate it, and it melts in your mouth!

In addition, the stall also sells other lo mei such as braised chicken legs, pork intestines and so on.

The small stall in front of the Xinyue Palace Tea Room sells char koay teow, which is very popular among locals. Char koay teow can be said to be a popular delicacy in Penang. On average, you can see several stalls specializing in char koay teow when you walk on the road. But it is not as simple as imagined to fry deliciously and fragrantly.

The appearance looks the same as the ones sold outside, but the charcoal-fried charcoal-fired char koay teow here not only tastes full of pot gas, but the koay teow is good enough, with bean sprouts and eggs, the overall combination is suitable. Most importantly, the price is affordable!

In addition, customers can also choose to add additional ingredients such as shrimp, eggs, etc., additional ingredients are not charged.
