I’ve stated on this blog before that kuih teow soup is one of the most under appreciated Penang style hawker dish in Klang Valley. Good thing is, this seems to be slowly changing and, you can start to find proper kuih teow soup (instead of pork noodle) places springing up around different restaurants this part of the country.
Update 9/9/2020: Unfortunately the stall is no longer here.
Duck Meat kuih teow soup at Mei Keng kopitiam
I was at Mei Keng kopitiam at PJ for my usual breakfast excursion one day initially looking to have the Kuantan Road Penang Curry Mee, the stall was on some sort of a holiday, which then led me to look at alternatives.
This was when I spotted this “Penang Duck Kuay Teow Soup” stall. I had to try it.
According to the operator, the kuih teow soup is originally from the restaurant at Ayer Itam near Penang Hill. Of course, the question was asked by me in classic Penang Hokkien to verify that the guy is in fact, from Penang. 🙂
proper kuih teow soup, penang style
At RM 7 per bowl, this kuih teow soup may seem slightly more expensive than usual, but it does pack a punch when it comes to ingredients. There are two smaller fishballs, two meatballs, and plenty of shredded duck meat with kuih teow in that sweet, flavorful broth. While the fishballs were rather average, the meatballs were awesome, and duck meat was as good as anywhere.
Overall, this bowl of kuih teow soup made for a very satisfying breakfast. Would not hesitate to come back again.
love the meat ball and shredded duck meat

KY, always wonder what kind of noodle was use in making this soup? Is it like pho noodle or udon or rice noodle? Looking good with lot of things in it.
Vickie: it’s flat rice noodle usually, but sometimes we do use yellow noodle or thinner rice noodle as well. They’re not exactly same as pho noodle or udon.
It is silky smooth rice noodles, the Msians in Spore will tell your cousin in Spore about it #LOL
kekeke: @.@
penang does make good dishes with duck, yeah. i used to enjoy the herbal duck drumstick mee hoon soup at jelutong back in the nineties 😀
Sean: you can find drumstick mee hoon or mee suah soup at the kopitiam in Bangsar!
Never had duck in clear soup but I do know of people cooking it with salted vegetables. Love it with the “Eight Treasures” or pek ting eyok, we call it.
suituapui: ahh, that should be quite different, I imagine duck will bring out even stronger flavor.
walau eh, ah uncle going around the country testing if Penang hawker stall is authentic or not LOL no wonder get official city commendation from menteri besar of Penang
kekeke: very important ok!
I’ve been to this coffee shop before but can’t remember what I ate here as they were not memorable enough. I guess I ate the wrong things! >_< I've since read about this duck noodles and penang curry mee you had from here. I must go try 🙂
eatwhateatwhere: now you know what to eat 😀
You find the best spots to eat.
Hunt. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
kekeke: living the life?
Monica: and the best spots find you!
So Penang style kuih teow soup doesn’t come with any innard?
Choi Yen: usually it doesn’t, it’s quite a “clean” dish per se.
My boys will love this. As for me, it is too clean for my liking. Haha. I need some spice in my foooooood.
Merryn: hahaha, you’re more hardcore then!
mei keng Kuey teow soup and Kuantan road curry Mee has closed. But the new curry Mee stall is quite good. Char key teow was absolute rubbish.
Marcus: haha I’ll avoid the ckt for sure.
It’s no longer here it seems. I just came here today and was looking up this kopitiam and ran across your article on the Penang duck meat kuey teow. The stall is nowhere to be seen.
Klangvale Dave: thanks, I’ve updated the post title, that’s unfortunate.
