Penang Famous Nyonya Nasi Lemak @ Jin Hoe Cafe, Pulau Tikus, Penang.

Jin Hoe Cafe has been operating there by selling Nyonya Nasi Lemak for more than 25 years and was formerly owned by Late Johnny (Deceased). The business is currently runs by his Family. Besides that they also sell Home Cooked Dishes.


This famous typical Nyonya Nasi Lemak is very similar to the packs of Nasi Lemak with skinny shrimps which were wrapped up with banana leaves and sold by the Indian Hawkers during the the old days in 60s. Normally the Indian Hawkers will sell the Nyonya Kuih and Laksa together with Nasi Lemak in the morning and evening.

For your information, you will hardly find any stalls selling this type of typical Nyonya Nasi Lemak in Penang. Most of them are prepared and sold with the fusion type.
