Lovely place and food, the menu pretty limited however it’s a good way to focus on the main specialty,penang laksa. Love the environment and the service super friendly 👍🏻

I discovered that place in 2018-2019 and I did like to go there ( I went 3 or 4 times) but the last time I was disappointed because it is a quite long way to go there with such a heat and there is no shadow. When I arrived there were no more muah chee, no more fried banana with white chocolate taste served, no more rojak which was good even if small portion and no char kway teow while those dishes were so good before. The char kway teow is still served but now only from 11 30 as the manager said the business is less good than before. I think they still have nutmeg juice which is very good and refreshing (big glass even if not thick juice for 3 rm). The asam laksa is quite good and they still serve it but the portion is too small for 7 rm, you are still hungry after. The chicken wings belacan were ok but I don’t know if they still have. The orange juice is ok, not too watery and big glass even if they add water.
So why again going so far with such a heat if they have no more those good dishes to eat?
It is sad because those people are very friendly besides and talking with them is nice
The atmosphere outside in a kind of small courtyard is very good (something like 3 plastic tables and chairs). I never ate inside.
It seems to be clean. Before they were cooking some dishes in front of you but the friendly young woman with tattoes is no more there
Dear Virginia231975,
First of all we would like to apologise if you feel disappointed as a lot of rented stall in front of our cafe closed because of slow business. For your information My Own Cafe started the business with just selling Laksa and we still do so till today. I’m not sure whether u have got mistaken on our pricing but a bowl of Laksa is Rm6 and not Rm7. As for Char Koay Teow stall they usually come around 12noon. We would like to inform that our fruit juice is 100% fresh and pure. No added sugar or water in it. Anyway, My Own Cafe signature dish which is Asam Laksa usually will be prepared in front of the cafe unless it’s during bad weather.
Please do look for me Evans Cheah in future so we can have a chat to get more of your positive feedback and more opinion from you.
If you come to Penang, don’t miss this wee place. The service is so nice and their Signature dish is absolutely tasteful!
Go inside and pick a table, the staff are very welcoming and provide amazing tasty food. It’s great value and good atmosphere. The place blends into the street but it’s worth it to seek it out!
Simple, local, amazing food. Cooked fresh and great value for money. Recommend the laksa highly! Will definitely return.
