New Cathay Cafe, Bukit JambulNew Cathay Cafe, Bukit Jambul (29 October 2020)


New Cathay Cafe (GPS: 5.33539, 100.28978) is a coffee shop in Bukit Jambul, Penang. The coffee shop has the same name as New Cathay in Pulau Tikus. It occupies the ground floor of Taman Bukit Jambul. I used to come here to buy Hokkien Mee, but have not been back for a long time until most recently.

My visits to New Cathay Cafe

29 November 2020
My wife and I decided to come here for breakfast. We saw that there are many stalls operating, among them the wan than mee, char hor fun/fried rice, koay teow thng, char koay teow and Hokkien mee/loh mee. We ordered the wan than mee and the char hor fun. The wait was a bit, around 10 minutes or more.

In my opinion, both items we ordered were just so so. Not bad, but not so outstanding that I would eagerly make a return visit, unless to try the other stalls.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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