88 Cafe, Jelutong (28 December 2013)


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.

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.

88 Cafe is on the Map of Ipoh Lane

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
