The blurb on the signboard says "Since 1923", making this an almost 100-year-old establishment. However, the face that graces the signboard is still alive and kicking, sometimes seen hanging around the shop, looking no more than 60 years old. The reason for this is because the shop has been in the same Lee family for 4 generations now. Starting as a humble lone hawker selling ice-kachang along Swatow lane, it gained popularity in the 60's and 70's. By the time the 80's came about, other hawkers had cashed in on their popularity and started selling their wares alongside it outside the walls of the current New World Park which was closed. The 90's came about with a redevelopment of the Park and the hawkers were moved into it, with the Ice Kacang stall having the most prominent shop at the front of the new New World Park. This institution of Penang has since grown into other branch outlets in Kimberley Street, JJ Food Garden in Tanjung Bungah. They all serve this icy treat just like the mothership. In the old days, choices were limited to ice kacang only - today, not only are you given the choice to add more ingredients, fruits, ice cream and more in to the sweet mix of shaved ice, kidney beans, sweetcorn, syrup and evaporated milk. There's also the rojak fruit salad as well - plus, there are also dishes that you can order to eat. While the purists see the addition of food as a bastardisation of the original shop, I have seen some people enjoying snacks along with their icy treats. The taste has remained the same throughout the 40 odd years I've eated this, and remains a firm favourite still.

Good. The same taste as I used to have when I was in school many years ago. Venue has changed but tastes maintain. Add your favourite fruits

I’ve frequent this place for years since they were located in swatow lane (by the street). Standard was good then. After moving to New World Park food court, still not bad. But ever since they moved into their own place, food has been really bad. Laksa was tasteless, very watery (even with a lot of Hei Ko, it didn’t help at all). Rojak was subpar. Price at RM9 but portion seems like RM5. Ais kacang was way too sweet. The saving grace was the wan than mee, which we ordered from the next door coffee shop. I won’t be back. Don’t waste your calories here. There’s better food in Penang.

The portion is just nice for an adult. While kids is having a hard time to finish it. Not to worry Mummy to the 'rescue'. Affordable price. Well maintained place. Friendly hawkers. Definitely will be on my Penang must go place list.

My first visit at this ice kacang stall was 22 yrs ago when it was originally by the roadside of Swatow Lane. Now it has been upgraded to a proper shop attached to the food court. The dining area is spacious and clean. It is one of the best ice kacang because it has all the right ingredients. The most important one in a traditional ice kacang is the attap chee (nipa palm seed) which are commonly found in Penang. There are many choices of toppings like ice cream and fresh fruits at a different price. Besides desserts, they have snacks and some simple meal as well. Great service.

Went for the ice kacang but fell in love with their chendol!! The chendol was qq, the gula melaka was fragrant, and portion is just right for a quick satisfying dessert fix. The ice kacang, however, tasted artificial.

Nice desserts place with many mixed ice options. This is a good place to hang out with your family or friends especially after you eat spicy foods!

The weather is scorching hot & pekena ice kacang cool down sikit lah 😅. Legend ice kacang in Penang & a regular customer since the 70's 😉

Famous shop - with history going back to 1923 - one can not miss when visiting Penang. Took the Ice Kacang: one classic and one with mango. It's a rather very sweet dessert! Although it was very busy, service was quite fast and friendly.

This is where the famous Swatow Lane’s ais kacang, cendol, rojak, laksa and ‘ki ah kuih’ (the list goes on) are served. Love the original ice kacang (without ice cream). Of course you can choose to top up with more ice cream/ corn/ red beans/ fruits to satisfy your appetite! Rojak is still as tasty as before except the prawn taste is milder now. I prefer childhood taste. When you have difficulty in getting a car park nearby, plenty of car parks at Argyll road or Jalan Zainal Abidin, formerly known as Yahudi Road.

Very tasty tee nya kuih, cendol, and ice kacang. If diabetes wasnt a thing, i would definitely eat more... Parking is easy too. Paying for parking a bit more of a hassle.

One of my favorite Ice Kacang in Penang. Must try when the weather is so hot. Recommended to try👍🏻

Superb deep-fry fish dish with rice. But sadly, they have increased their price since.

Servis Good And The Boss is Got Explain To Costomer when Customer Ask .Good

We grew up eating ais balls invented by this family at the old location at swatow lane. It was a highlight to come here with our parents. Eating here still brings us so much joy and great memories! Congratulations to 100 years of Business and bringing joy to so many people!

I loved the rojak, sweet and a bit spicy...the ice kacang was good but nothing special

I had been here for each of my visit to Penang. The first one was during cruise's shore excursion. The second one was during my holiday where I accidentally booked hotel near it. I had tried the ice kacang and cendol, both are nice. I also had the watermelon juice which is quite refreshing. I also tried the assam laksa, but I personally don't really like it. Anyway, its ice kacang is one of the recommended ice kacang from wonderfood museum.

Came here and ordered the classic ice kacang and rojak buah. It was ok.

A local favorite shop for decades. Prefer it’s original ‘classic’ ice kacang and cendol minus extra superfluous toppings 😝😝 It also sells assortment of street food/ snacks. The shop’s current location is at the front entrance to New World Park. Tables are full on weekends so you may have to wait a bit. Spacious and airy, a good place to meet up and chat and eat.

Offers delicious desserts such as cendol and ais kacang. Portion size is plentiful and affordable, food is served quickly and tastes good. There are some savory options as well!

Very good. Full of ice kacang goodness! Great location that catches the breeze!

This ice kacang will floods you back to memories of little kids. I eat it since they still located in kopitiam.

One of the best rojak in Penang. Ice kacang has lots of fruits, good for hot weather

The Cendol and Ice kacang were good but the laksa were sucks! The noodles too lembek and short(incomplete) and the soup taste bad. Won’t recommend if you want to try the laksa. But for cendol and ice kacang yes you may try

Perfect ice cold food therapy in a hot weather. Ordered rojak and ice kacang. Big portion and it was refreshing! Easy to park in new world park and plenty of food around there too. Can eat as afternoon tea/ snacks before or after karaoke in Loud Speaker hahha! Open air environments so not hot as it is quite windy.

Wow! Our hotel recommended this place as the best ice kacang in town and this place did not disappoint! It’s THE best ice kacang Mu family and I ever had. We ordered the classic and it was laden with a generous dollop of atap seed, cream corn, grass jelly, rose syrup, red bean - heaven!

The business has been operating since 1923 and that tells you something. My grandfather took us here and I can still remember they have the best ice kacang. Now they have occupied a larger space, you don't have to stand on the side of the street to enjoy the local desserts. I highly recommend this place for their cendol and ice kacang. Bring your love one and enjoy a bowl of dessert after dinner.

When in Penang, EAT everythg anythg .. but truth be told, it's getting too touristy, so go for the forgotten few, not crowded, food is still good (not the best) .. Swatow Lane Food Court still serving up good laksam (laksa & assam) noodle, hokkien noodle and Swatow Lane ice Kacang "LEE Ice Kacang" (this is a png fav w a unique taste, enhanced by strips of nutmeg) ...

My favourite place for ice kacang and rojak especially only mangkuang with rojak sauce simple as superb dessert for me

My fave place for Ice Kacang. Cendol is also good here

Famous of ice kacang and rojak in Penang. I'm loving it, especially their rojak gravy❤️ No worries at finding a parking space here👍

This is the original stall of the swatow lane ice kacang & cendol. Only if they serve in a traditional steel spoon (cause the ice would make produce a chilling spoon) it would even taste better.

Nice... taste like old time - memory lanes. But the environment will never beat the original feasting by the street sensation!

This is where I had my first ABC while in Malaysia, and it was a fantastic place to have it for the first time - very tasty and reasonably priced. Ice Kacang (aka ABC) is certainly a bizarre desert but it is remarkably tasty and really grew on me as I had more and more - it is definitely a must-try while in Penang, and this is an excellent place to do exactly that!

it had shifted to a bigger shoplot beside big mouth ktv, the one selling in the food court is not the genuine one. taste of abc still maintain after many years I tried before.... yummy.
