Kimberley Street See Ko Thng Stall (24 October 2013)
Kimberley Street See Ko Thng Stall (GPS: 5.41638, 100.33276) is a well-known stall selling traditional Chinese sweet dessert in George Town, Penang. It is originally a stall, but since a few year ago, also took up a shophouse along Kimberley Street. The main item sold here is see1 ko1 thng2 四果汤 , a sweet dessert with a variety of ingredients that may include dried longan and ginkgo.
In addition to si1 ko1 thng2, the stall also sells almond cream, known locally as hai1 yin3 cha3. This is a dessert of acquired taste, as some are put off by its somewhat cockroachy smell. Hai1 yin3 cha3 is usually taken with eu3 ca3 koay4, the deep-fried dough sticks that are sliced up and dunked into the cream.
