Beef Soup Koay Teow 打石街牛肉粿條飯湯 @ Kedai Kopi Lam Ah 南亞茶室, Beach Street

Feel like tasting Beef Soup Koay Teow.
This is one recommended place.
Here's its location.


Lam Ah Coffee Shop
It is directly opposite the Chulia Street Fire Department.
That's to say, it's a corner shop at the crossroad of Lebuh Pantai and Lebuh Chulia and Gat Lebuh Chulia.



The cook is a lady.
Lam Ah Coffee Shop has only two stalls: This Beef Soup Koay Teow Stall and another Fried Oyster stall.

It was crowded when we went.

Though it's a bit much pricier, it's worth it.
