I visited Joo Hooi Cafe with an old friend. I ordered two plates of char koay teow with duck egg. We were among the first customers that day, so we had to wait about 10 minutes for our order. This is how it looks like.
Joo Hooi Cafe char koay teow (25 June 2015)
I found the char koay teow to be a bit whitish (not spicy enough). I did not specify that I want it spicy or non spicy. I was afraid that asking it to be spicy may result in it being too spicy. The char koay teow cost RM6.50, yet the portion is rather small.
After eating it, I was still hungry, and so I ordered the laksa. The stall is being manned by an Indian guy. How surprising. Perhaps he was employed by the owner to sell the laksa. My small bowl of laksa cost RM4.50. Wow, to me that too is very expensive and rather watery. I learn that this is a very popular laksa stall, but as far as I'm concerned, the fame exceeds the quality.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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