Named after an actual port area in Penang, Chew Jetty doles out the island's famous hawker delights for the Kepong crowd. The establishment opens as early as 8am so swing by for a Penang-style breakfast, minus the four hour-drive. For RM6.50, the Penang Curry Mee is a generous serving of milky-white curry noodles with cockles, cuttlefish and pig's blood that come together to hit the spot. Also an authentic fare is the Penang Hokkien Mee (RM6.50) with thick, flavourful prawn broth — in Penang, Hokkien mee denotes prawn noodles and not KL's stir-fried yellow noodles of the same name. The Penang Char Kuey Teow (from RM6.50) also warrants an order for coming close to its namesake's standards. Wash down the oily breakfast with Pat Poh (RM2), a herbal tea drink that earned its popularity in — you guessed it — Penang! Avg price per person: RM10
