Koay teow th'ng · Penang
A clear-broth counterpoint to the fried classic: flat rice noodles in chicken and pork stock with fish balls, shredded meat, garlic oil and a scatter of scallions.
Koay teow th'ng, literally noodle soup in Teochew, is the gentle sibling in Penang's noodle canon, built on clarity where char koay teow is built on smoke. Teochew cooks judged each other on broth transparency and springy hand-made fish balls; stalls like Pitt Street have made theirs from sea eel daily for over 60 years, and Ah Boy on Lebuh Clarke carries a second-generation recipe. It is the bowl Penangites call comfort, breakfast and convalescence food in one.
Where to eat in Penang:
- Pitt Street Koay Teow Soup
- Ah Boy Koay Teow Th'ng
- Fook Cheow Cafe
- Super Star Koay Teow Soup
