Sungai Ara Kopitiam (GPS: 5.31975, 100.26922) is a coffee shop in the Desaria neighbourhood of Sungai Ara, Penang. It is located on Tingkat Kenari 6. The coffee shop has a number of stalls including an economy rice stall, a Hokkien Mee stall, and a stall selling various Nyonya kuih including nasi kunyit and muah chee.

My visits to Sungai Ara Kopitiam

1 January 2021
For our very first lunch of the year, we had a hankering for the jawa mee sold by wife's cousin at Sungai Ara Kopitiam. So off we went there. When we arrived, we saw that the kopitiam was packed, so we bought home. The large at RM6 each. Still delicious!

25 December 2020
My wife found out this morning that one of her cousins has opened a Jawa Mee stall at Sungai Ara Kopitiam. We decided to make a trip to give it a try. We arrived around 12:20pm, and were lucky to get one of the last bowls before the stall closed for the day. In fact, it was only the first day that they are selling at Sungai Ara Kopitiam. It is their second outlet after the first one at Eng Loh Coffee Shop on Lebuh Gereja.

I enjoyed the Jawa Mee very much. It is similar to the Jawa Mee that my wife makes, which is different from the tomato sauce based Jawa Mee. This one uses potato as the base. I ordered the big portion, which is RM6 (but was given a treat by my wife's cousin).

Enjoying the Sungai Ara Kopitiam Jawa Mee (25 December 2020)


When I removed my facemask to enjoy the jawa mee, the owner of the coffee shop immediately recognized me. He treated me to his nasi kunyit. I was too full to have it immediately, so I brought it home.

Not only that, he also treated me to the mochi. These are sold 4 to a tray for RM5.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
