Kedai Kopi Kong Thai Lai (广泰来茶室) is our breakfast place on our first morning at Penang. We wanted to eat the at Toh Soon Cafe at Campbell Street for their roti bakar & famous coffee but the shop did not open for business that day. This old coffee shop is located on the same road as Toh Soon Cafe, but the road name different. One is at Campbell Street and one is Hutton Lane. This old coffee shop is situated in the rows of old shop houses in Georgetown.

Queuing for our breakfast. Since the Toh Soon Cafe did not open, I guess most locals and tourists came to Kedai Kopi Kong Thai Lai. Fortunately the weather was not hot on that day and the building was blocking the sun.
Situated in this old shop house, Kedai Kopi Kong Thai Lai is around for 3 generations and they still maintaining the traditional way of preparing the food and drinks. Most of the classic windows here are still maintained.
The interior of the coffee shop, full of customers enjoying their breakfast. We see them eating also hungry already.
The very old business signboard of Kedai Kopi Kong Thai Lai.
After queuing for around 30 minutes, finally it reached our turn. We got this table outside of the coffee shop.
Before our breakfast came, we ordered this roti canai from a mamak stall nearby.
Then we noticed this uncle selling stuff on a bicycle in front of the shop. What is it that he is selling?
It is this crispy karipap (curry puff), served with onion. Never see this shape of karipap before.
Our breakfast reached. This is Kaya Butter Toast Very crunchy and delicious. I read somewhere they make their own Kaya.
We also ordered 2 half boiled eggs for each of us. They are served in this cute cup instead of a bowl. Fresh and perfectly half boiled. Awesome taste when we dip the bread into the egg.
We also ordered the buttered toast with egg on top for sharing.

After eating, we went back to our homestay and start packing.
