Beef Noodle Soup & Hainanese Chicken Chop at Butterworth

Get to know this place from watching Axian's (阿賢) show on Astro AEC. There are basically 3 Kopi Tiam (coffee shops) along this row of shop houses and the one we went to was Luan Fong.

As we traveled from the Penang Island, we decided to take the ferry. Our journey was taken way back in January 2020. Sadly now this historic ferry which has been transporting people across the two lands for more than 100 years is no longer in service recently.

The unique characteristic of this ferry is you can drive right into it.

Stunning view from the ferry leaving Penang island.

The journey took about 15 to 20 minutes. It was a nice relaxing way of crossing onto the other side compared to the hectic driving on the Penang bridge.

The location of the shop is very close to the Butterworth jetty.

Thai beef noodle soup

We purposely came for this uncle's Thai beef noodle soup, his name is Kang. During his interview on Axian's (阿賢) show, he told the story about how he learned to cook Thai style beef noodle soup. He used to eat a particular Thai beef noodle soup many years ago when he visited Thailand. It was so delicious that he asked the stall owner to teach him how to cook. The owner was initially reluctant as he scared he will give away his trade secret. However, uncle Kang told him that he only wanted to set up his business in Penang and assured him that he will not be his competitor. He succeeded in the end.

Delicious beef noodle soup.

Too bad we were too late when we got there as he had sold out his Thai soup, we only managed to order his normal beef noodle soup. It was still good anyway.

南洋咖啡
The trip to a Malaysian Kopi Tiam will not be complete without ordering the Kopi (local coffee).

Malaysian breakfast
Soft boiled egg on toast - a common sight of Malaysian breakfast.


You can also order this Hainanese Chicken Chop from the other shop and they can bring over.

海南鸡扒


有一次无意中在Astro AEC频道看到贤推荐这个地方。他介绍了这排商店中3咖啡店

我们决定从槟城乘渡轮越洋来到这里。这旅程是之前在20201月拍下的。可悲的是,这艘超过一百年历史悠久的渡轮,最近政府已决定不再使用了从槟城到北海行程大约需要1520。乘坐渡轮远比驾车在槟威大桥来得舒服多了!

咖啡店的位置非常靠近北海码头

们特意要来吃这位大叔的泰国牛肉面,他叫阿江。在接受阿贤节目的采访时,他讲述了他如何学会煮泰式牛肉面的故事。许多年前,他去泰国时吃过他十分喜欢的泰国牛肉面。于是他就要求摊主教他如何做这道菜。摊主最初不愿意因为怕会泄露自己的商业秘密。但是,阿江叔告诉他,他只想在槟城开店,从没有打算在泰国和他竞争。最后摊主同意教阿江。

您也可以从其他商店叫此海南式鸡扒,他们可以端菜过来。
