Ais Kacang @ Kek Seng Coffee Shop
| Share |
Got to know Kek Seng from my parents, the food in this coffee shop was OK. What is worth highlighting is its Ais Kacang , look at picture. It has 2 scoops of ice cream and a piece of 2-layer jelly, which tasted a little salty.
After this visit, I have tasted 3 of the many famous [tag]Ais Kacang[/tag] in [tag]Penang[/tag]. I’d rate them as (personal preference)
- Swatow Lane
- Lorong Selamat
- Kek Seng
This coffee shop is located along [tag]Penang Road[/tag], only 5-10 minutes walk from Komtar but the tricky part is finding a parking. Before reaching Penang Road, you will see a junction which leads to Lebuh Tek Soon, take the path and you fill find a lot of parking options.

Ayam Penyet AP @ AEON Seberang Perai, Penang
about 12 months ago - 2 comments
Ayam Penyet AP, an affordable restaurant serving the delicious and addictive Indonesian cuisine called Ayam Penyet, loosely translated to smashed fried chicken. It is a perfect alternative to the already over-mushroomed kopitiam franchises. Not only the quality is getting worse, portion is getting smaller and prices are always increasing. Imagine, after I finished my cuppa

Sate Zainah Ismail Best Satay In Town @ Jalan Keramat, KL
about 1 year ago - 22 comments
As you might already know I am desperately looking for a satay in Klang Valley that could rival, and perhaps even better than those that I had in Singapore which I hate to admit is still the best I ever had to date. So when two of my fellow readers recommended Sate Zainah Ismail at

One of the oldest hawker stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnavon. Seng Thor is particularly famous its Lor Mee but I feel the Lor Bak here deserves a better mention. The uncle has been selling his home-made lor bak daily without fail for
Sri Bistari Famous Nasi Ayam Penyet @ Changi Village
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
To be honest, I haven’t tried a lot of Indonesian food but I can vouch my love for Ayam Penyet, this wonderful traditional dish that originates from Subaraya. Smashed fried chicken served with rice and spicy hot sambal, so simple yet so additively delicious. Not too far away from Tampines at Changi Village is Sri
Siam Road (Jalan Siam) Charcoal Char Koay Teow
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
The Char Koay Teow stall along Siam Road, Penang has gotta be one of the best in town. And a good thing about it is you won’t be charged exorbitantly for a plate of Char Koay Teow – something that is supposed to be cheap and affordable but is fast becoming a gourmet priced food

wow i think i ate there before when i was a kid. a relative of ours whom used to stay in penang brought us there. apparently they made their own ice-cream. do they still make their own?
about 5 years ago
They do have this special durian ice-cream which I think they do make themselves.. I think so because the poster promoting it was hand-drawn.. Another thing worth mentioning is that this coffee shop has been visited by a Singaporean TV station’s food programme, and given thumbs up

I also got to know Kek Seng from my father. Used to go there when i was younger. But the last time i went there was many years ago, and the place didn’t look very clean and tidy. Anyway, your pictures make me wanna go back and try. I could hardly remember the taste anymore.
Since I’m not from the island, one of the best Ice-kacang on the mainland that I’ve tried is in Nibong Tebal. People call that place “kong ci”. It comes in a big bowl, also with ice-cream, and lots of “liao” inside. and what i like most is, i can ask that uncle to give me extra groundnuts!

Where is Kek Seng? I’ve left BM long time ago, not sure the Ice Kacang stall under the big tree along Jalan Kulim, near the old Lai Kee restaurant (opposite Kim Sen Primary School) still selling the ice kacang? I love the ice kacang there. hmm.. Yummy!!!
about 4 years ago
BM cha bor – Kek Seng is located in Penang Road, opposite Komtar. And the stall you mentioned, I just went there a few weeks ago and it’s still thronged with customers. And the quality is still being maintained
