Instant Koay Teow Soup (KTS)

A lot have been told about Penang's food. PG has long been well-known for its splendid food. Though we are talking about PG, but mostly it will concentrate on the island food. Few have been mentioned about mainland food, yes, Butterwoth's food. My hometown is Butterworth and I can tell you that there are plenty of nice food at Butterworth too :). I will try to recommend BW food as much as possible.

First let me introduce this well-known instant KTS at BW (at Raja Uda). Though KTS is just a normal food but I have got to say that I am really impress with the progress of this KTS shop that I know of. My family and I have been a frequent customer to this shop. When we were little, mom used to take us to its humble stall not far from where it is today. From that small stall, it progressed to 2 shop lots and recently, the owner extended its shop further to another lot which is equipped with air cond. Imagine this, 3 shop lots and most of the time, it is full with customers who are there to sample a simple instant KTS.

When we went there last Sunday, we have gotta wait for our table!!. Though they have added some side dishes to their menu eg lobak, vege, fried squid etc but still the main attraction and meal of the day is KTS.
One of the side dishes : Kong Chiang (Not sure what to call in English but it is a Teow Chew delicacies. A type of kuih with nuts.)

They have their own uniform and have changed it recently. See a bunch of people in blue with hat at the back? That is their uniform

The cleanliness of this shop is graded as 'A' by the municipal.
