Translation

The Kimberley Street Char Koay Teow is a well-known char koay teow stall at the junction of Kimberley Street and Cintra Street. Kimberley Street is called Swa1thau3 Kay1. In Penang, there are people who like and those who do not like this stall. Those who like says the char koay teow here is tasty. Those who do not say it is expensive and the portion is small.

It's true that the portion of char koay teow here is small, but I like to eat here because it has mantis prawns. As one plate is not enough, I usually orders other things to eat as well.

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.
