I Canton Cafe (GPS: 5.41226, 100.3096) is a coffee shop along Jalan Air Itam in Dato Kramat, Penang. Not to be confused with Canton-i, which is an unrelated F&B business, I Canton Cafe specialises in Cantonese-style braised duck and trotters. There are presently three I Canton Cafe locations in Penang, at Prima Tanjung, Perak Road and right here at Dato Kramat, with a fourth outlet to open soon.
I had the opportunity of eating there last night and meeting up with its proprietor, Mr Tham. The braised duck and trotters were incredibly tender and delicious. I learned from Mr Tham that the meat is cooked in a pressure cooker, which takes just ten minutes to cook. Other dishes include the braised beancurd and eggs. The items are eaten with either rice or porridge. In addition to the braised duck and trotters, the coffee shop also offers various ready dishes such as curry chicken, preserved vegetables, and so on.
I Canton Cafe is open daily from 6:30pm in the evening until 4:00am the next morning, serving nightowls looking for supper.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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