Kang Beef House 江祖傳牛肉小鎮

Kang Beef House (22 September 2012)


Kang Beef House 江祖傳牛肉小鎮 (GPS: 5.3918, 100.31353) is an eatery at Perak Road, Penang. It specialises in gu bak koay teow, a Chinese-style beef noodle soup, as well as other beef-based dishes. Hence you can order beef fried rice here, crispy beef balls as well as stir-fried beef in black pepper.

Kang Beef House has its main entrance facing Perak Road while a back entrance faces Jalan Jelutong. Its address is however at 474 Jalan Jelutong. The restaurant is open daily except Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm for the lunch crowd and from 4:30 pm to 10:00 pm for dinner.

I find that the restaurant is clean and hygienic, compared to other places serving gu bak koay teow. I also appreciate being in an air-conditioned environment with air circulation.

It has been over four years since our first and only visit to Kang Beef House in 2012 (see below). We happened to be visiting someone in the area, and so decided to go there for lunch. We were quite early (11:45am) and was the first customer (the shop opens at 11:30am).

We ordered the RM10 bowl. This is how it looks like:

How do I like it this time around. Yes, I do like it, perhaps more than on my first visit. My wife commented that the soup is still more watery compared to the beef koay teow at other places, but I am okay with that. At RM10, the amount of stuff isn't really much (and we were already planning where else to go to get something else to eat - we ended up buying the nasi kunyit set from Eaton.)

On the whole, I am quite satisfied with the beef koay teow at Kang Beef House. Unlike many places selling this dish, Kang Beef House is very clean. We might be returning from time to time.

The lady running the shop told me that they are opened at night with cooked-to-order dishes. I photographed the menu to give you an idea what's available here.

22 September, 2012 And how's the gu bak koay teow? The taste is a bit bland and the soup quite clear compared to other places. I have discussed this on Facebook and found the same comment from over gu bak koay teow lovers. In essence, we prefer a stronger taste to gu bak koay teow. So while Kang Beef House may attract its own gu bak koay teow lovers, it will not dethrone established gu bak koay teow stalls such as the one at Kafe Dua Lapan Dua Lapan in Perak Road and Kedai Kopi Lam Ah at Beach Street/Chulia Street junction.

About this website

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.
