The third-generation owner makes his famous laksa noodle soup according to his grandparents’ recipe dating back 50 years ago. The soup strikes a fine balance between sweetness, sourness and spiciness, while the cucumber, shallot and pineapple cut through the heat nicely. The starter platter is also worth-trying.
🕐 Tu-Su 11:00-17:00
This family business is now run by the third generation. Each aromatic plate of koay teow is fried to order and exudes wok hei. It tastes even better with a dab of chilli sauce. Optionally, add an over-easy egg or cheese on top.
There are many shops in Penang selling roasted duck, but this stall's tender braised duck is packed with flavour, including soy sauce, anise and cinnamon. They also serve braised pork belly, pork intestines, egg and bean curd.

Run by a husband-wife team, Winn’s Cafe is situated in a detached house with dining rooms spread over two storeys, the upper floor of which exhibits work by local artists. The menu features Peranakan classics, such as otak otak fish cake seasoned with coconut milk and local herbs grown in their backyard and boasts silky smooth texture. Asam tumis stingray seduces with bouncy, flavoursome meat and a rich, complex sauce made with nine herbs.
This shop in a market serves Penang-style curry mee at friendly prices. The mee is cooked over charcoal, in a well-balanced soup with spices, chilli paste and coconut milk; tofu puffs and spring squid add contrasting textures.
Since 1920, this stall has been selling its famous apom: their crispy crêpes with a soft, puffy centre cooked in claypot over charcoal are fluffier and more coconutty than most. Come early – they tend to sell out by 9:30am.
