Our trip started with a brunch at Kedai Kopi New Cathay (新國泰茶室) at Penang for the Char Kuey Teow, Char Kuey Kak, Apom Manis and Hokkien Mee. There are many other stalls too that we didn’t get to try. This eating place is just a few minutes’ walk away from our awesome homestay, Havara Place.

I am from Sarawak and plan to take breakfast at Kedai Kopi Swee Kong around 6.30am. From Cititel Express to Kedai Kopi Swee Kong in early morning, what is the best mode of transport? Is it far to walk and is it safe (say at around 6am)? Or if I drive, is it easy to find parking space near Kedai Kopi Swee Kong?
When we were in Penang, parking is not a big issue. Places were easily found with waze. Enjoy your Penang trip!
