Along Penang road, opposite of Komtar Penang, there is this small traditional coffee shop which is famous for its' home made Durian Ice Cream.

For ice cream lovers, especially Durian ice cream, it is not easy to find it. Other than New Zealand Natural which have the official Durian Flo, we can't really find anything else closer until we went to Kek Seng coffee shop.


This banner caught our attention. The Ice Kacang and Durian ice cream.


Kek Seng Ice Kacang comes with a homemade colorful jelly, a scoop of Durian ice cream and another type of ice cream, sweet red beans, sweet corn and are covered with shaved ice, then laced with rose syrup, brown sugar syrup and condensed milk.

This sweet-tasting dessert is highly recommended and it is just perfect for the hot weather in Penang.

Besides, this coffee shop also offers other variety of hawker food such as chicken rice, koay teow thing, laksa, lobak and poh piah.

Char Siu fan 叉烧饭 or known as the Chinese barbecued meat rice can be found at Chulia Street in Penang.

If you have heard of the famous Malacca Char Siu fan that is only available during midnight, this stall Wai Kee located at the ground floor of Sky Hotel on Chulia Street has the comparable tasty and crispy baked Char Siu, exactly like the ones in Malacca.


My personal choice is ordering in an individual plate because I like the gravy that comes together with the char siu and rice, but some other friends prefer individual servings of the char siu and other choice of meat.

After 30 minutes of waiting, our lunch is served. To avoid disappointment, do drop by earlier because the char siu is always selling fast.



Besides Char Siu, they also have other assorted roast meat such as Siu Yok 烧肉, Siu Cheong 腊肠 and also steamed chicken or roast duck meat.

To balance up the meal, Wai Kee also serve a type of vegetable, which is the Yau Choy Sum 油菜心. I had this vegetable many times and it always tasted fresh.



Total lunch spent, RM 41.60 for 7 persons. The price would be around RM 5 to RM 10, depending on the dishes ordered.
