Kek Seng Café

wins by default by location on busy, yet food bereft, section of penang road opposite komtar.laksa is fishy and punchy, with asam and kantan leading the charge. heat is grab-by-throat intense. addition of heh koh mid-bowl mellows things down. beware counter-attack at bottom of bowl though.stall advertises itself as (heart) penang, but there's greater complexity here.pohpiah is tasty and just right degree of soppy. which means to say skin is suggestive, yet uncompromised. hits spot with gentleness and subtlety.

The food here is good including Siam chicken rice and Asam laksa besides its famous red beans ice with ice cream. You may choose durian flavor ice cream with additional price. This is old F&b shop so don’t expect well decorated environment. No aircond too. Can pay using TNG ewallet here. Worth to pay a visit.

I have tried other infamous ice kacang in Penang still much better than this.The place is shabby and dirty. Char koay teow left..

An old coffee shop beside busy Penang Road. Famous for the authentic durian ice kacang and chicken rice. Laksa is nice also.

Good old time coffee shop with stalls with hawker food. As with other reviews, some dish tastes are missing from the laksa, toast, char kuey teow, teh, cham. I like that the auntie would leave out the ingredients I don't fancy. Perhaps you have better luck. We'll be back to try the chicken rice and the desserts.
