Where Penang’s heritage, flavors, and community come together in one place.
Located in the heart of George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage Zone, Kongsi & Co. is more than just a café — it is a celebration of Penang’s multicultural food heritage, warm hospitality, and the spirit of community.
The word "Kongsi" carries deep meaning. In Malay, it means “to share” — and in Penang Hokkien culture, it symbolizes brotherhoods, communal houses, and collective spirit. This name reflects our belief that food should be shared, stories should be passed down, and memories should be made — all around the table.
At Kongsi & Co., we serve a thoughtfully curated menu that brings together iconic Malaysian breakfast classics and comforting Western brunch favourites, all made with ingredients and recipes rooted in local tradition.
Our signature Nasi Lemak, prepared with fragrant coconut rice, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber, and boiled egg, captures the essence of Malaysian comfort food. For those looking for something heartier, we offer Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, Chicken Rendang, or Salted Fish — each cooked with slow-braised care and traditional spice blends.
For a true taste of Penang’s sweet heritage, don’t miss our homemade Nan Yang Cold Bean Curd, a smooth soybean pudding with traditional Peanuts candy (Kacang Tumbuk)
— a timeless local dessert loved by generations.
We also offer a variety of international breakfasts such as English Breakfast, Continental Breakfast, French Toast, Burgers, and Big Breakfast Platters to suit both locals and travellers exploring George Town.
Whether you’re a Penangite seeking nostalgia or a visitor discovering Penang for the first time, Kongsi & Co. offers an experience where heritage meets hospitality, and every meal tells a story.
