Yi Fang Duck Meat Koay Teow Th'ng 一芳鸭肉粿条汤 @ Cecil Street, Georgetown, Penang.

More food options near Cecil Street Market- Yi Fang Duck Meat Koay Teow Th'ng 一芳鸭肉粿条汤 occupies a prominent spot at Cecil Street, literally just across the street from the forever crowded wet market. The Duck Meat Koay Teow Th'ng is housed in the '7 Road Kitchen' but not to be confused, the latter is a different operator that runs the business in the evening. Yi Fang is only available from 7 am to 3 pm. On top of Koay Teow Th'ng, Yi Fang also churns out quite a big Chinese menu featuring some sides and stir fry (Chu Char) dishes. Be prepared to pay slightly more but the quality is there, not to mention you get a more comfortable space to dine-in (if you are comparing with the one in the wet market).

Duck Meat Koay Teow Th'ng (Rm 12.80/ small)

Dry Duck Meat Koay Teow- with Fish Balls only (Rm 10.80)

Quarter Boiled Chicken (Rm 14.80)

Steamed Octopus (Rm 16.80)

Homecooked Chrysanthemum Tea (Rm 3.80)

The Duck Meat Koay Teow Th'ng carried a rich, delicious broth with a discernible Duck-aroma. It comes with a handful of Ofal by default and they introduce a gamey taste to it (maybe not for the ones who adore them). If you are not a fan of Ofal, do let the proprietor know and there's Fish Ball option too. Pretty decent quality with delicious Duck meat broth, but the prices are still slightly higher in my opinion.

We also had sides like the Steamed Chicken and Octopus; the former one was served with Ginger dip while the latter one came with Thai Seafood Sauce. Both were good (Chicken was tender and the Octopus was fresh) and we liked the extra touch like serving different dips for different dishes. This place is worth a look.
