Kimberly Street Char Kway Teow

The char kway teow stall at the corner of Kimberly Street (Lebuh Kimberley) and Cintra Street, in front of the Sin Guat Keong coffee shop, is one of the most legendary street food spots in Penang. Run by the same family since the 1960s, the stall serves what many consider the definitive version of char kway teow - flat rice noodles stir-fried over intense charcoal fire with prawns, cockles, bean sprouts, chives, egg, and lard. The queue is a permanent fixture; the plate is worth every minute of waiting.
