88 Cafe (GPS: 5.38914, 100.31234) is a coffee shop in Jelutong, Penang. It operates out of a two-storey converted residential house on Ipoh Lane. The entire stretch of Ipoh Lane in front of this house has been turned into part of the Jelutong Market, and hawker stalls spill out from in front of 88 Cafe.
There are many stalls at 88 Cafe. Among them, there is the chee cheong fan, curry mee, jawa mee and pau.
Getting there
The nearest bus top is along Jalan Jelutong in front of Klinik Cheng Ghee. It is served by Rapid Penang bus 301 and 401.

We don't usually eat at 88 Cafe when we go to Jelutong Market, but this time around, because I was looking for an "alternative" lor mee stall, we decided to eat at Ah Cheng Cafe, which is located next door to 88 Cafe. From where we sat, I went across to 88 Cafe and ordered the char koay kark. This is how it looks like:
88 Cafe's Char Koay Kark (15 July 2018)
It does look good, doesn't it? I was very hopeful when it arrived.
Unfortunately, it is not as tasty as I would want it to be. To be exact, I found that it was not salty enough, which is a surprise to me, as it looked okay. The second thing is, it was too spicy. I love spicy char koay kark, but when it is not salty and overly spicy, it was just not that nice.
Once regarded as the working-class sister to George Town, now Jelutong has developed into a major residential neighbourhood, and home to a lot of good hawker food. Let the food lovers at Hawker Food Planet show you what's good to eat there.

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.
