Updates

25 April, 2014: My wife and I returned to the Pulau Tikus Market Hawker Centre. This time we went on a Friday. Today we finally saw the "right" koay teow thng stall - on our previous visit of 23 Jan (see below), we ordered from the "wrong" stall from the one recommended to us. Oh yes, the taste is certainly so much better, I even slowed down eating so that I don't finish my koay teow thng too fast!

23 January, 2014: My wife and I went for dinner at the Pulau Tikus Market Hawker Centre. We were recommended to try the koay teow thng and the Hainanese pork satay. We did manage to try the koay teow thng, which I found to be "not too bad", but there was no Hainanese satay stall. There is a Pak Ali satay stall, but we did not order.

The koay teow is very soft, the way I like it. (My wife however, feels that the koay teow is too soft, and is already overcooked.) The service is also a bit slow. We sat within view of the stall, so we could watch for fast each delivery was made. We ordered the big bowl, but since this is koay teow thng, it wasn't very filling.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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