    Therefore, we walked along the stretch and chanced upon Xen Teck Cafe, which was more a non-air-conditioned coffee shop, and the only dining establishment operational at that time.

    Lately, this CKT stall, which is tucked away in a totally unassuming kopitiam by the Tan Jetty, has been receiving a lot of love from seasoned Penang foodies. The CKT indeed lived up to expectations.

    A small portion of fried kway teow costs RM9, and toast with milk tea costs RM7. The food is excellent. It's a small street-side shop, popular with locals. The fried kway teow is slightly spicy. The shrimp are very large.

    Another local breakfast spot that's practically deserted, with the owner even asking how we knew about it. You have to arrive before 11:00 AM, otherwise they'll only have stir-fried noodles left.

    Fried kueh teow with cockles is amazing! It would be even better if the kueh teow were fried a little drier over high heat.

    A man surnamed Zhou Qiao passed by. The fried kway teow here is delicious. The wok hei (wok aroma) is very strong. It has two large prawns, sausage, and clam meat.

    This food stall is located in Penang's Chinese community, near the sea. You can see Chinese-style temples and settlement architecture. The food here is cheap and delicious.
