Kafe Heng Huat, Lorong Selamat, George Town (29 September 2012)
Kafe Heng Huat is a coffee shop along Lorong Selamat in George Town, Penang. This is the location of the famous Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow. It relocated from Kedai Kopi Low Eng Hoo (when it was known as Kafe Chuan Kee) further down the road.
Although I have tasted the char koay teow many years ago, and I find it to be "not bad", I don't make it a point to have char koay teow here. If I am in the area, I prefer to have the koay kak at nearby Midtown Cafe. It is cheaper, faster and just as tasty. The koay kak is in fact a street-side cart and I would order it into Kedai Kopi Low Eng Hoo.
For char koay teow, I prefer having elsewhere in Penang, and the char koay teow at Kafe Heng Huat has a notorious reputation for its long waiting time, something I would not suffer, regardless how good people claim it to be (just throw some big prawns into the wok and you'd attract these folks like magnet).
Getting there by Public Transport
You can take the bus to Macalister Road, and walk about ten minute to the coffee shop on Lorong Selamat. Rapid Penang Buses 10, 101 and 104 stop at Macalister Road. If you are going there by car, note that it is very difficult to find parking space especially during lunch hour.

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.
