Open Now

Now Closed

This is the Penang's Famous Tang Yen! I always like to go to this stall for supper after mid night movie! They are not always open and I always need to try my luck to get the Tang Yen. *I think Saturday night usually don't have.This bowl of Tang Yen costs RM3. It comes with two with fillings and few smalls one without fillings. What makes this stall so famous is they do the Tang Yen and sell it upon your order. It tastes really fresh and very chewy. You can hardly find this at other place. They have very limited seats for dine-in. And this stall is right opposite the Penang's Trader's Hotel. If you are there, sometimes u need to wait beside the road for seats. Many people come here all the way to take away too. The location of by the road side makes u feel like as if the old stalls in the old days. continue reading

There is a very traditional food sold in Penang, Magazine road, and in the evening only.That is "Tang Yuan", If you are not a chinese or you are not local you may not be familiar with this cuisine, because it is a chinese cuisine. And you must try it.Ok if you wanna try this delicious cuisine, you can head to Magazine road and the stall is just opposite Trader Hotel, or First Avenue, a shopping Mall. This stall is a place you can go if you feel like eating some "Tang Yuan"If you have no idea about the food, It is sort of ball made of Glutinous rice flour, where some of them the bigger one actually have some filling inside it, black sesame or peanut crunch, and this cuisine is served in a bowl of sweet ginger soup.
