Wahong Cafe (GPS: 5.32764, 100.29451) is a coffee shop along Lorong Kampung Jawa, in Kampung Jawa, Bayan Baru, Penang. It is usually quite busy during lunch time, when people working at the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone come here for lunch.

25 January, 2016 I seldom come to this part of town, but today being a replacement public holiday (for Thaipusam), we somehow found ourselves at Lorong Kampung Jawa, and decided to stop at Wahong Cafe to have our breakfast. I ordered the char koay teow while my wife ordered the koay teow thng.

When my char koay teow arrived, I saw that it was quite tiny, taking up only a quarter of the plate (let me show you). It cost RM4.50 and came with two large prawns. However the char koay teow turned out to be quite tasty. As soon as it was served, I decided that it would not be enough for me, so I ordered the wan than mee. The wan than mee is served in a bowl.

My wife told me that the koay teow thng was nothing to shout about. We both shared the wan than mee, and both agreed that it was also just so-so. Of the three items we tried, I found the char koay teow was the tastiest. Pity that the portion was so little.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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