Old Georgetown Cafe

Old Georgetown Cafe (25 November 2017)


Old Georgetown Cafe (GPS: .41679, 100.33065) is a coffee shop in George Town, Penang. It is located along Prangin Road, across the road from Komtar Walk. The coffee shop has a number of stalls. The coffee shop also has an upper floor which is also open to patrons when the ground floor is fully occupied.

My wife and I visited it during our recent review stay of Areca Hotel. We went to explore the surroundings of the hotel, to see what's available to eat, and came upon this coffee shop. I later learned that it opened on 4 August, 2017, so it has been open for just a few months when we visited. The building used to house Kim Yew Hardware & Trading Sdn Bhd.

I noticed two Hokkien Mee stall. One of these is the famous Hokkien Mee from Bangkok Lane, which won a street food competition some time back. I have known and liked that Hokkien Mee, but it only sold till 4:00pm, so by the time I visited Old Georgetown Cafe, it has called it a day. The other Hokkien Mee stall was operating in the evening though. I saw people eating, so we decided to order two bowls. Small is RM5 while big is RM6 (as of November 2017). I went for the RM6 bowl.

In addition to the Hokkien Mee stall, I saw a stall selling Nyonya Asam Laksa. There are also stalls for Oyster Omelette, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Nibong Tebal Pork Noodles, Rojak and Pao. Back to our Hokkien Mee, here's how it looks like.

The Hokkien Mee looks good, doesn't it? Well, I have experienced Hokkien Mee that looked better than they taste, so, even after taking photos of it, I reserve judgement until I have tasted it. Because I was busy taking photos of the coffee shop, my wife did the mixing of my bowl of Hokkien Mee for me. It appears that the RM6 bowl is quite a big bowl, good portion. It has quite a lot of noodle, even though not much ingredients or "liau". I did see a sign on the stall saying extra charge for more ingredients. Nevermind, I'll try it as it is.

Oh, it is very good. I love it. It has both the taste and aroma of Hokkien Mee, and I dare say it is as good as the "other Hokkien Mee stall". At RM6, I would like my Hokkien Mee to have a little more liau, but other than that, I enjoyed this Hokkien Mee very much.

If ever I return to Old Georgetown Cafe, I hope to try the other stalls.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
