Breakfast in Georgetown, Penang 🇲🇾🍜

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Penang definitely does a great breakfast!
Right smack bang in the middle of Georgetown is the famous Chowrasta Market. Whenever I return to Penang, this is a must visit. It's a wet market, food centre and general shopping all in a compact space.
You will NOT go hungry here as there are stalls and vendors with almost every conceivable food.
For today's breakfast, we visit one of our favourite little kopi tiam - coffee shop. Now, remember, a kopi tiam is usually made up on multiple vendors cooking a single dish each. So, do as we do and buy multiple dishes and share.
Be warned, this coffee shop is always full. You just have to be patient and wait for a table to become available. Also, they are only open for breakfast so be sure to visit here.
We ordered:
- Duck keow teow thng
- Wanton mee
- Char keow teow
- Curry mee
Kedai Kopi Soon Yuen
Jalan Kuala Kangsar, George Town,
Hours of operation : 6am - 12pm
You will thank me! You're welcome.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Thank you so much, you are a star! I need to catch up once I'm home.

[@pinnaclefoundation1507]

After watching your videos I don't feel as anxious when ordering food or what to order

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Well, I can provide the addresses for all those places when you're ready to visit Malaysia.

[@riverthebostonterrier9562]

Hungry 🍜🍛☕

[@markjones2781]

Tim, you are a lucky man. A mum who would surrender a chunk of fried pork lard for her son!!! They don't come any better than that, do they? Oh, and thanks for deconstructing the dishes in the local dialects. Quite what the th'ng is in kway teow th'ng has eluded me until now.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I know right? Mum is an absolute angel for sacrificing a piece of the pork lard for me. Mother of year as far as I'm concerned! You are very welcome. My hokkien is terrible at the best of times but it's good enough when it comes to food! haha

[@serinachan9940]

Love love loveee Penang food. 3 years since I've been back home and stumbled upon your videos. Hello from Perth! A fellow chinese malaysian from Penang too! Loved hearing you speak hokkien - I'm also a Penang lang! 😅

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I am so glad you stumbled upon my little channel. Thank you for dropping by and posting a comment. It really does mean the world to me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Penang food too. I'm heading back there next year both my wedding so there's definitely going to be a LOT of cari makan then. haha

[@Erika-el1kp]

Cannot wait to see how many dishes you're going to have Tim. Regards Erika

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Surprisingly, not that many for this brekkie! LOL

[@Erika-el1kp]

@@TimEatsandTravels haha, I watched your video and I would need to be rolled out if I ate like that. Plus you had pancake!!

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Those pancakes were as thin as air...i imagine they had no calories. Guilt free. Beauty of Asia is that clothes are cheap so I can just keep updating my wardrobe as my waist line expands. HAHA

[@Erika-el1kp]

@@TimEatsandTravels you are so funny Tim. Your combination of peanuts and sugar is my favourite. I used to make peanut butter and sugar sandwiches.

[@ryansofly]

Oh emm gee... Chulia! That's my childhood all revived again. I'll not eat that kon lo wearing white. Lol! I absolutely love love LOVE these Malaysian fish ball soups because they normally make their own balls. Amazing. The only reason why I have Penang CKT is the pork lard, they're everything. Dried sotong in curry noodles, now that I've got to try sounds new to me. Haha that's a lot of coffee powder. There's finally something you don't eat .. corn! Yeah that ban chiang kueh, I ate that a lot for brekkie too. Loved the video!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I do like corn but I cannot relate to it as a dessert! Thank you for the video!

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Yeah, it's a weird one which I also cannot get my head around. I don't like corn at the best of times let alone in a dessert/sweet snack.

[@TheTexmorg]

Yum. I love Apom and must confess to eating quite a few (ok maybe more than a few) when we were there in January. The place we got ours from was run by one uncle all by himself and he was always so busy I felt like jumping in and giving him a helping hand. Thanks for the video, hope you are doing ok.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I've always toyed around with the idea of helping them but I once tried and it is seriously not easy. I completely ruing the one I was trying to flip but it burnt.

[@ruthmoss2478]

That pancake ❤

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I know right? Everything!
