★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super big prawns and packed with flavour, definitely full of wok hei! Portion is enough for 2 person to share, considering Penang is always a foodie trip. But the price is over the top imho, try once is enough

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's ok - not great / not bad. Lacks "wok hei" to give it that kick and needs the chilli version to give it some kick.
There are better ones out there...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ordered a big sized CKT for RM10, there’s 3 big prawns in it. Not too bad. The uncle auntie of the CKT stall were friendly ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So many years, I didn't care about anything else because sisters mcalister Road had the best taste balance and used the best oil
But this time without sisters I went looking for my new best, I believe I've found it.
Duck egg automatically levels up the ckt
Chili level medium levels it up some more at the expense of excitement, at least you can taste something
And then there's the magic I can't describe.
Must eat all at once with cockles and tauge only then the cocktail taste great. Eat big mouthful else you don't have full effect.
My new favourite.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ char koay teow is famous. Quite nice with big prawns. Lobak is average. Usually very packed in the morning. Weekday during lunch is not so crowded.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located in Ping Hooi Cafe on the corner of Melayu Street and Carnarvon Street, this humble little stall has been dishing up delicious plates of Penang's famous char koay teow with an additional twist - the tiger prawns in every plate.
Parking is almost non-existent here, unless you're very lucky to get one after a few rounds of Carnarvon Street and the surrounding streets. But do push on, because most times, you will be able to get one.
Because the stall starts so early in the morning, many start their day with this delight from as early as 8am. Mid morning meal seekers also throng here. However, on two occasions, during peak lunch time period, the this place is not packed and this stall closes at 1:30pm (not as officially stated here as 2:00pm - be forewarned).
There are a few choices here to add on to your plate of goodness - you could have it fried with duck egg instead of the regular chicken egg - and that results in a plate of char koay teow that's richer in flavour. Also, if you fancy more than just the two prawns in a standard plate, you could opt for more prawns as well, and that sets you back and additional RM4.
Some have described this koay teow as slightly wetter than most, and I suspect this could be due to the additional chilli paste if you want your dish to be spicier. But otherwise, the koay teow is way above average, with good "wok hei" and flavour. The large prawns are super fresh - crunchy and sweet, while the fresh cockles are also a welcomed addition to the mix. Only thing missing from this char koay teow is the lap cheong or chinese sausages, which is a staple in any char koay teow,
Expect to pay about RM9 for a plate with duck egg, and if you add on the prawns or other options, then get ready to fork out an additional RM4. Still reasonably priced for something that's fried fresh with good ingredients.
All-in-all, an above average plate of koay teow. Come if you're around the area and experience the nostalgic Ping Hooi cafe where the stall sells at.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went yesterday at about 11.30am and it was all sold out. So we went today at 9.00am and managed to get a table and ordered 5 plates with 3 with duck and 2 with chicken eggs.
This stall in Penang lived up to its reputation in Singapore. It was really good. The stall holder was very friendly.
