Koay Teow Th'ng is a popular Penang hawker food of flat rice noodles cooked in clear soup and topped with slices of chicken meat, fish balls and slices of fish cakes. Some times minced pork is also added. This is garnished with garlic bits, fried pork fat and scallions. Koay Teow Th'ng is usually served with a condiment of sliced chilli in soy-vinegar, either the big, red chilli or the hotter small green chilli.
Koay Teow Th'ng is usually regarded as a breakfast meal, although some stalls sell it during lunch and even dinner. As it is a common hawker food, you can find Koay Teow Th'ng sold in practically any coffee shop in Penang especially during breakfast and lunch time. There are actually two types of Koay Teow Th'ng. One is the instantly cooked version, where the broth is drenched over the koay teow. The other version is where the koay teow is cooked in the broth.
