We originally wanted to look for a famous Koay Teow Th'ng hawker stall at Lebuh Melayu or commonly known by the local Hokkien community as (台牛后) but couldn't find a parking spot ( a thing that everyone should get used to whenever driving around George Town), so we ended up somewhere in the middle of the street where we accidentally discover a make-shift stall with lots of people. It was located at the corner of Lebuh Melayu and Lorong Tok Aka in front of a heritage building:

We decided to explore this place simply because there is a parking spot available in front of us (finding a parking spot along the street in Penang is sometime harder than looking for gold). As the tables around the stall have been fully occupied, we have no choice but to sit across the street. There were a few tables set up along the five-foot way in front of a heritage shop house. We peeped inside the house and saw a poorly maintained living room, not sure whether there is anyone living there. Anyway our focus is on food, not history of the house so we went across to make our order but was asked to go back to our seat to wait for them to come to take the order instead. They were so busy that they had to take care of those who ordered first plus those waiting eagerly in front of their stall for takeaways.
Fortunately it didn't take long before a lady came along and took our order of two bowls of wanton noodles and soya bean.
You know why most people fall in love with Penang food so easily? It is because of their stingily small portion that makes you crave for more! Somehow they know just the right amount to make you feel good without filling your gastronomical tank. The texture of the noodles is fantastic and the sauce is simply wonderful: not too salty but making the whole dish juicy.
