    The first stall was the Pasembur stall operating inside Joo Hooi Cafe where the famous Penang Road cendol operates from the side street. The difference in pricing is telling. The first one was RM10, while Kareem Pasembur Rojak was just RM7.

    This is the corner shop with most people. I haven't got a chance to try the other shops along the same road. But compared to swatow coffee shop the fried kway teow pale in comparison.

    Super vibrant old school style Chinese coffee shop with many stalls. The chendol, char koey teow, oyster omelette and curry laksa here are good. Place is really cramped and crowded most of the time.

    This is a stall located in a coffee shop. The coffee shop sells other items like chendol, rojak, orh luak etc. The coffee shop is free seating, get a seat before ordering.

    Feels like a all in one breakfast heaven with all the top choices of Penang food. If you want to get some of the local cravings satisfied, this is one of the top choices in Penang. But be prepared to queue~
