Nam Heong (南香茶餐室) @ Ipoh Old Town

Nam Heong Restaurant is a well known kopitiam @ Ipoh Old Town.  Here, you must try their original White Coffee and silky smooth flat noodle (怡保雞絲河粉).

As for Hakka Mee and Char Koay Teow, nothing is so special.

Bukit Mertajam Char Koay Teow Shootout

Not only Penang's Lorong Selamat or 'Sisters' are famous for Char Koay Teow, Bukit Mertajam also has few stalls that serve delicious Char Koay Teow (炒馃条) and cheaper of course.

I'm going to recommend 3 stalls for you to choose. Here are some commonalities that I observed among these stalls.

• Use charcoal instead of gas
  
• Fried with duck egg instead of chicken egg
  
• Fried with lots of lards, delicious...
  
• Fried upto 8 plates in one go. Sorry dude, no individual fried Koay Teow here.
  
• Prawns only go into Wok in the middle of Char process. Therefore the prawns are not overly cook.
• Use Coka-Cola bottles to contain soya sauce.
  
• RM2.50 per plate (small serving). No way you can get this price in Penang Island.
• Open late, better go after 9pm.

Stall#1 is located at Jalan Pasar (approx 5°21'54"N 100°27'37"E)







Stall#2 is located at Jalan Stesen (approx 5°21'44"N 100°27'40"E)







Stall#3 is located at Jalan Kuari (approx 5°21'17"N 100°28'10"E) --> some say this stall serves the best Char Koay Teow in Bukit Mertajam town.
