Penang Food Paradise #28 : New Cathay Koay Ciap

One of the Teochew dishes of flat, broad rice sheets in a soup made with dark soy sauce, served with pig offal, braised duck meat, various kinds of beancurd, preserved salted vegetables, and braised hard-boiled eggs. This was the very first time I had Koay Ciap, I could not assure you there will be another stall selling the same dish around the area but I have seen one in Pekaka there who sells after the dusk. Regardless of where the others are located, this specific stall selling its Koay Ciap since the 1980's and has been listed in a magazine of lists of awesome foods in Penang can be found in New Cathay Coffee Shop in Pulau Tikus where it is opposite of Belissa Row and a church.

The taste of this bowl of Koay Ciap was not bad afterall. The broth together with the corianders and its ingredients brought the flavorful tastes into your mouth. The overall taste is enhanced with the added fried garlic oil. For those who do not like corianders, you may request the hawker for not adding in the corianders into the soup.
