George Town - Pitt Street Koay Teow Soup

Koay Teow Soup seems to be a bit of a George Town thing. We love all sorts of noodle soups, so it was a must try for us.

When we arrived at Pitt Street Koay Teow Soup, there was a line snaking out the front of the place, with a couple of guys working hard slinging bowls of soup.

Koay teow soup is of those those "more interesting that it looks" dishes. Clean and simple in its presentation, the bowl packed a lot of flavor. Tasty broth, nicely cooked koay teow noodles (wide rice noodles), with lovely soft-yet-springy fish balls and juicy slices of pork.

The atmosphere was very active, with servers bustling around calling out to each other. Not a place for a relaxing lunch, but perfect for what we were looking for.
