Kedai Kopi New Cathay (7 January 2017)
Kedai Kopi New Cathay (GPS: 5.43245, 100.30954) is a coffee shop in Pulau Tikus, Penang. The coffee shop is located at the junction of Burmah Road with Lorongt Kuching.
Kedai Kopi New Cathay is particularly busy in the morning and at lunch. It winds down after lunch. Some stalls began to clean up even before lunch time starts, so it is really a breakfast coffee shop. Among the items available include apom, char koay teow, chicken rice, curry mee, fried fish meat bee hoon, fried rice, Hokkien char, Jawa mee, koay chiap, pancake, pan mee, popiah, roti babi, wan tan mee, Western food and yee fu mee. There is also a van selling asam parked at the curb. I was recommended to this coffee shop by someone on Facebook who visited by Penang Hawker Food group. I tried the roti babi, which I quite like.

Kedai Kopi New Cathay is diagonally across the street from the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The nearest bus stop is in front of Burmah Road. It is served by Rapid Penang bus 101, 102, 104 and 304. As Burmah Road is (since 2013) a one way street with traffic heading from west to east, all buses heads in the direction of George Town. If you are coming from George Town, you have to take the bus to Kelawei Road and then walk across to Burmah Road, a distance of about 5-10 minutes.Kedai Kopi New Cathay is

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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