Penang expats head up to Burwood Chinatown for char kway teow fried hot over banana leaves. The counter runs strictly hawker-style—order at the till, grab a buzzer, and wait for your tray. The wok imparts a charred smokiness to flat rice noodles tossed with crunchy pork lard and plump prawns, best upgraded with a rich duck egg. Pair it with dry wonton mee crowned by fiery pickled chillies or a soothing herbal bak kut teh.

Why Choose Tasty Of Penang
Authentic Penang street noodles, cultural connections, and generous hawker classics in Burwood
Char Kway Teow with Duck Egg on Banana Leaf
Wok-fried noodles are prepared with authentic duck egg options and served over banana leaf lining to deliver traditional Penang aroma and wok hei.
Banana leaf is used as the base, it’s scent enveloping the noodles as one is savouring the noodles. Splurge a little extra on the duck egg for the best well-rounded flavour.

The dishes here are SUCH GREAT VALUE, I have never seen a more loaded dish than their hakka style crispy pork belly.

Ling True Hawker Stall Ambiance and Team Spirit
Multilingual staff and an authentic street-hawker energy recreate the familiar camaraderie and buzz of Southeast Asian open kitchens.
All the staff here speak a mix of Malay, Chinese and English when talking to each other so somehow, I knew the food was going to be good before it even came out.
