Kedai Kopi Goh Chew is one of the coffee shops along New Lane, in George Town, Penang. It occupies two double-storey terrace houses which were converted from residential to commercial use.
There are a number of stalls at this coffee shop. My wife liked the fish bee hoon here, until it raised its price to RM6.00. We also noticed that there is a new cook, and at the last minute, my wife decided not to try the bee hoon with the new cook. We haven't eaten here since the price went up. I think she is still in a boycott mode over the price increase. I like the stall selling Hokkien char, yee foo mee and Sar Hor Fun. The vendor also operates a similar stall at the Bayan Baru Hawker Centre. Other stalls at Kedai Kopi Goh Chew include the Lor Bak stall, the fried oyster and the chicken rice.

The yee foo mee sold here is one of my favourites. This is what I usually have when I eat here.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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