Apart from 133 Penang Authentic, there are another three stalls dishing out fragrant plates of char kway teow, and Lian Seng Fried Kway Teow is one of them. This char kway teow is on the drier side, with a mixture of kway teow and yellow noodles, eggs, bean sprouts, vegetables, fish cake and cockles. It is slightly sweet with a good wok hei, and certainly hits the right spot. Address: 51 Upper...

Unlike other hokkien mee, Xie Kee Hokkien Mee uses flat wide yellow noodles much like the ones used in lor mee. It’s full of wok hei and thick gravy clings to the noodles, and it also includes some prawns, sotong and eggs. Some say that it used to taste better in the past, but the long queue seems to say otherwise. Try to get here before peak lunch and dinner hours to avoid a painfully long queue!...

Fans of Yong Seng Satay are not just here for the meat, but for everything that comes with it! Available in either chicken, pork, or mutton, the stall is also known for their satay sauce which is considerably sweeter and tangier than usual. That’s because the owner uses slightly over-ripe pineapples in the recipe, giving the sauce its sweet and tangy flavour profile. Address: 51 Upper Bukit Tim...
