"Famous hawker centre located near Adventist Hospital and Gurney Plaza- there are plenty of options to get your local hawker fix. Went there for late dinner and tried the highly raved roasted chicken wings which were charred, sweet, fragrant and juicy. Oyster omelette isn’t too starchy nor oily which pairs well with the chilli sauce. The sauce came with sotong kangkung wasn’t too sweet and had a nice crunch of peanuts. Char kuey teow had a nice “wok hey” and tasty. Will be back to try the curry fish head, hokkien mee and popiah. Parking can be challenging."

"First time visiting, definitely one of the better hawker centers to visit especially when you are in the pulau tikus area. The hawker center only opens at evening till night and surprisingly, full of locals! The stalls are also surprising, whereby I seem to notice that each and every stall offers a unique dish so if you want a specific dish like oyster egg, you have only 1 choice. I'm glad to say this is the Penang hawker food that I have been looking forward to since coming here as the more tourist areas are not as nice as before or inconsistent. The price as well is very decent where you can have basic char kuey teow at just rm6! Onto the good food that I have tried, the char kuey teow is delicious and it even has pork sausages, fish cakes and a lot of taugeh, a great deal! Moreover, the chicken wing & drummet is fantastic and you need to order at least 2 but it is well worth it! The honey glazed chicken is aromatic, delicious and outright irresistible, I could easily eat 10 of these in one sitting! Onto the decent, the oyster egg is pretty slimy tasting, it's decent but you may get a little nausea from eating it repeatedly, recommended to share. The pork burger is also pretty good but it isn't cheap at rm10, you won't miss it. Overall, a great local spot and will definitely come again! Thank you for reading my review"

"Good varieties, although parking can be a challenge. Tried a number of items with my friend, enjoyed their popiah + pie tee, chicken wings, char koay teow, laksa, hokkien mee, sar hor fun and curry mee is pretty good. Only disappointing item was the char koay kak"

"We went to Kafe Goodall two days in a row. The first night, we enjoyed the food and decided one day was not enough to explore all the food. We tried: Grilled chicken wings - marinated chicken wings grilled and served with their chilli dipping. Lor bak - many kinds of lor bak to choose. All yummy and flavorful Yong tau foo Pork ribs on fried rice - tasty and well seasoned. Hojiak - dessert joint which sell yummy mochi & silky tofu pudding. Highly recommended when you're in Penang. Crowded with people on weekend, it's better to come on weekdays."

"Delicious baked stingray, really the best i ever had, the fish is tender and well marinated not too spicy, a must try if you come here. Char koay teow is okay, fried oyster is good as well. Parking is hard to find. Overall will definitely visit here again"

"Located on Gottlieb Road across from Penang Chinese Girls’ High School, Goodall is a popular open air evening hawker centre, similar to Newton Circus in Singapore. Serving mostly traditional Penang favourites, it serves satays, BBQ chicken wings, oyster omelette, bak kut teh, CKT, lor bak and there is a large seafood choo char joint. Check it out!"

"My go to place for variety of choice of delicious food. Food is mostly above average with plenty of choices. Tip I would only order their can drinks as their self prepared drinks are prepared way too in advance for consumption . I like the bihun goreng, Chee Cheong fun, lor bak and western Italian food"
