Walking distance to many local hotels in the area. Nice clean street food environment. Like that they didn't use plastic cutleries here. Food was good . Some locals do come here but mostly tourist or locals whom bring tourist here. The fried carrot cake was lacked seasoning but had wok hei. The noodles soup , wonton noodle and oyster omelette was good. The drinks were pretty small portion for rm 3. It was served in a kiddy cup and mostly ice.

Last visited August 2022.The night hawker stalls operate from 4 p.m. till midnight.My few favourite stalls which I frequented:The lady selling apom, a larger version of the Kuih Kapit, very light and airy, each piece is RM0.60.The Mother & Son classic Penang wonton noodlesThe Char Koay Teow, wok-hei & reasonably pricedIt’s very lively now after the pandemic, with a flow of local and foreign tourists. The road is not closed to cars; tables and seats are by the roadside; it is advisable to dine-in at your own discretion.

Dinner @ Chulia Street Night Market & Xi Nan Cafe..The area on a weekday night seemed quieter than I recall, with only a handful of stalls in the Chulia Street Night Market, perhaps a fallout of the pandemic..Loved the Lor Bak, or 5 Spice Roll (MYR RM18), a mixture of fried items and fritters..Among the medley of ingredients, those that stood out included the eponymous 5 Spice Roll with its crisp crunch to the tofu bean curd skin, and robust meaty earthy savoury sweet salty nutty spice flavour from the juicy filling..The bouncy tofu bean curd with grainy sweet flavour was comforting, while the chewy Taiwanese pork sausages had addictive meaty savoury sweet smoky flavour..The Cuttlefish Kang Kong (MYR RM18) has fresh blanched water spinach with vegetal bitter sweet flavour, while the slippery cuttlefish lends a good crunch to texture..Topped with pickled mustard greens, crushed peanuts, and lime juice, while the thick gravy has an enticing sweet savoury shrimpy sour spice flavour, yum..The Wanton Noodles (MYR RM6.50) is served Hong Kong style with a dark soy sauce gravy..They're well regarded for having bouncy thin egg noodles with grainy sweet salty flavour, and medium-sized minced pork dumplings infused with pork lard oil which carries robust meaty sweet savoury salty flavour, yum..We were drawn to the frying skills of the hawker at Granny's Fried Oyster Omelette Shop. The Fried Oyster Omelette (MYR RM16) has lots of egg without much potato starch, fluffy and soft and moist, with bold eggy sweet savoury salty flavour. The oysters were small and carried a small juicy bite with briny salty sweet flavour, pairing well with the spicy garlic chili.
