My visit to Nam Seng Cafe

My wife and I had our breakfast at Nam Seng Cafe on Sunday morning of 29 July, 2018. That was when we were doing a review stay at nearby Urban H Hotel. The coffee shop is just a short walking distance from the hotel.

I ordered the Wan Than Mee and Hokkien Mee while my wife had the Pan Mee. Every item was priced at RM4.50. Drinks came to RM3.00 The items are all quite good, with the Wan Than Mee standing out as the best of the three. I almost regreted that I ordered a "small", and look forward to returning to this coffee shop and just have the Wan Than Mee, and perhaps also try their Sui Kow.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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