Duck Kway Chap

I was in Penang a few days ago with my family so the next 6 posts will be about the food I ate in Penang.

Duck kway chap - small portion - MYR7.50 nett. The noodle sheets are thick and soft with a nice rice fragrant so it is tasty but I find that the soup/broth does not have enough herbal/spice taste - taste quite diluted. I was told the broth was thicker the previous week, not so diluted in taste so I guess the quality is inconsistent depending on your luck.

A large bowl of duck kway chap with pork skin in it - MYR10 with added duck stomach (ngap kan) MYR2  so it is MYR12 nett in total.

Iced desserts - MYR2.80 nett per bowl - ginkgo; red bean with longan; and Barley beancurd sheet.

We ordered the iced desserts from the list shown here. And the above sign warned us not to consume any drinks not bought here.

If you closely at the sign, it says MYR7.50 for a small bowl, MYR8 for a medium bowl, MYR10 for a big bowl.

"Restoran Kimberly" is the name of the eatery and it is located in Lebuh Kimberly, Penang. Business starts in the evening only.

Interior of the eatery. Full house with people standing waiting  for seats.

The stall/kiosk where they cooked and prepared the duck kway chap is outside the eatery like shown above.

Another view of the stall outside the eatery. The iced desserts are from another eatery opposite this eatery.

    I've never had kway chap before. Is it like koay teow but thicker? I think I will like it.

      Somewhat like koay teow but very much thicker and in bigger uneven shaped pieces.

    Duck kway chap? Now that's a first. Never heard of it before, sure would love to try. All this while, it's always pork.

    If you find me to be your tour guide, you will never eat this, because I don't like kway chap at all. Luckily you had someone else. :P

      Seems like there is a lot of food you don't like to eat.

    Duck Kueh Chiap is such an ancient food yet some gurus here never heard. haiks!
    Did I tell you that I was stunned to see instant Duck Kueh Chiap being sold in packets at the Chinatown in San Francisco back in 1990? It was made in Thailand and very popular with all the Asians in US. I bought them and liked it. The duck smell was there.

      I thought you meant pork kueh chiap when you mentioned this previously.

    Penang... how fun! Kway chup sometimes has a cinnamon smell that is too strong for me.

    This one has no apparent cinnamon taste.
