Perak Road Gu Bak Koay TeowPerak Road Gu Bak Koay Teow (15 May 2016)


Perak Road Gu Bak Koay Teow (GPS: 5.417, 100.31643) is a gu bak koay teow stall along Perak Road in George Town, Penang. It operates within Kafe Dua Lapan Dua Lapan. I have known about this gu bak koay teow stall for many years before my wife and I went there to try it for the first time. It quickly became my wife's favourite gu bak koay teow stall. At first I didn't care that much about it, as my favourite gu bak koay teow was the stall at Beach Street. But as the quality of gu bak koay teow at the Beach Street stall dropped, this stall eventually became my favourite, and as I write (May 2016), it still presently is.

As with other gu bak koay teow stalls, we do notice that price has hiked over the years. But it remains our favourite because it has not withheld the amount of ingredients. Also, the soup does not carry a beefy smell, which it does at many other stalls. Naturally both taste and quality are expected to change with time, so it's something which I need to update regularly as I continue to patronize the stall.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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