Satisfy your sweet tooth at Kek Seng Café, an iconic Penang café. Indulge in their delightful ice kacang, cendol, and traditional desserts that are bursting with flavors. A must-visit destination for dessert lovers in Penang.
Ever since I started working in the KOMTAR area back in 2018, my mom has consistently raved about this hidden gem. Today, with the company of friends, I finally had the pleasure of trying it out.Asam Laksa: 7.5/10
The Asam Laksa lived up to its reputation with a burst of flavors. While the broth was tangy and rich, I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10 for its distinctive taste.Char Koay Teow (CKT): 7/10
The CKT had a decent flavor profile, but the wok hei could use a bit more finesse. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. Still enjoyable, but there's room for improvement.Durian Ice-cream Ice Kacang: 9/10
Now, this was a delightful surprise! The Durian Ice-cream Ice Kacang stole the show with a remarkable 9 out of 10. The durian ice-cream was incredibly flavorful, and what impressed me more was the jelly layers, each boasting a different flavor. A perfect symphony of sweetness and durian goodness.Overall, Mom's recommendation didn't disappoint. I'll undoubtedly be returning to savor Siam Chicken Rice.
In my own view, the assam laksa was not flavorful and lack of tanginess. The bee hoon was also a little soggy. I struggled to finish a small bowl and in the end I gave up trying. Don’t think I will come back again.
Nostalgic coffee shop with their signature ais kacang with the jelly & ice creams since my childhood days.Hainanese chicken rice was delicious. I liked it with the black soya sauce & their special chilli dip for the roasted chicken.Popiah was yum, and it just complemented the chicken rice. Visiting the first time in over 30 years. Will be back again.
Satisfying meal with yummy chicken rice and kueh paitee! Duck egg char kway teow is ok only. The durian ice kacang is a nice dessert that you should try too, though the durian ice cream tastes a bit artificial
