So, come hungry, come curious, and surrender to the allure of Siam Road. Let the smoky whispers guide you, and prepare to be swept away by a taste of Penang that will linger long after the last morsel is savored.
Find your wok-kissed destiny: Siam Road, open daily 12:00am-5:30pm (or until the noodles run out!). Cash is king, but prepare to be crowned the ruler of your taste buds.

in the last weekChar kway teow wok fried over coal. Be prepared to wait even if the queue is not very long. The chicken wings at the same shop is tasty, would recommend it. Overall the char kway teow is not bad but i guess i wouldnt wait an hour for it.

a month agoLong queues! Stood about 40mins for this chat Kuay Teow. Ordered a big one but was given and was charged the middle size. Partly my fault as they have the sizes advertised at the front of the stall but I was hurrying to the queue and missed it. Once you’re in the queue there were no menu. It’s only when near the head of the queue was I asked for sizes. So just for the record there are 3 sizes, and it’s possible to add extra on ingredients should you wish, which I would recommend! The food was delicious. Prawns plump and the noodles had nice wok hey. But if I was to close my eyes, I wouldn’t be able to tell this was cooked via charcoal. Great theatre though. Just not sure it was worth the long queue as there are so many great char kuay teows in Penang.

in the last weekIncredible level of variation between three plates of CKT. One would expect some semblance of consistency given the volume.Order flow is an issue. The patrons in front ordered 10 plates to eat on the spot followed by 10 plates for takeaway causing massive delay for other diners.

6 months agoQueued for 1.5hours on a Saturday afternoon. Tastes good but not worth the long wait. They only use chicken egg, would be even better if they use duck! Despite the long wait and huge queues, they did not increase their prices. I give them 3 stars for taste but I up to 4 as they kept their price integrity. Barley drink is so good, fried chicken is also great appetizer while waiting

a week agoWaited 50 mins to get a really good Char Kway Teow. Strong ‘wok hei’ and tasty. Helpful to assign us a table while we queued to order. Atmosphere has nothing to talk about.
