An Egyptian cat cafe in Penang is open on Lebuh Campbell in George Town. It is called Kucik Kucik Cafe. It is billed as Malaysia’s first Egyptian-themed cat cafe. It joins a food scene where Potager just won a Michelin star.
The cafe was reported on 11 November. It has more than 20 cats and a golden, palace-style look. Meanwhile, entry is RM38 with one drink. However, you can skip the fee with a food order.
Here is where to find it, what you pay and what the cats and menu offer. However, the report gave no opening date or menu prices. Google reviews go back about three months, so it is not brand new.
Egyptian cat cafe in Penang: address, hours and entry
Kucik Kucik Cafe is at 12 and 14 Lebuh Campbell, 10100 George Town, Penang. That puts it in the heart of the city’s old town. However, the report gave no nearby landmark or parking tips.
Specifically, it opens Tuesday to Sunday, from 11am to 8pm. It is closed on Mondays. That is nine hours a day, six days a week, by our arithmetic. The report did not list any public holiday hours.
In addition, admission is RM38 nett. That price includes one selected beverage. However, the report did not say if children pay a different rate or if you must book.
Notably, you can skip the entry fee. Admission is waived if you order any two items from the dining menu. Therefore, a meal can replace the fee. The report gave no end date for this deal, so check before you go.
Cats and decor at the Egyptian cat cafe in Penang
The cafe has more than 20 cats from several pedigree lines. They include Abyssinian, Sphynx, Devon Rex and Oriental Shorthair. However, the report did not give the exact count of each breed.
Moreover, the interior is gold and Ancient Egyptian-inspired. It aims to feel like a royal palace. In addition, visitors can borrow Egyptian-style outfits and accessories for photos with the cats. That is the main draw for photo fans.

Meanwhile, the upper floor has a commercial section. There, selected pedigree cats are offered for sale to prospective owners. The report did not give prices for the cats. Buyers should ask about health records.
Likewise, the report did not say how the cats are cared for. Local Guide Garfield Foo wrote on Google that the cats seemed friendly and well looked after. That is one diner’s view, not a check by us. Cat lovers may want to ask the cafe about house rules.
Food and drink at the Egyptian cat cafe in Penang
The menu serves Western dishes. Examples are pasta and glazed chicken. The cafe also has a range of drinks. Because of the two-item deal, the dining menu matters for your bill.
However, the report gave no prices for individual dishes. Google reviewers list typical spend of RM40 to RM60 a head, and a few groups logged RM80 to RM160. Local Guide Andrew Koay, who has 636 reviews, found it slightly pricier than similar cafes. Even so, he rated it worth the price, citing themed plates and cups, a rich latte and a hot-and-cold brownie.
The premises are alcohol-free and pork-free. Local food guides say the cafe also uses no lard. It is not JAKIM Halal-certified, so Muslim diners should confirm with the cafe.
In short, the Egyptian cat cafe in Penang offers 20 cats and RM38 entry with a drink. Entry is free with two dishes. The report gave no opening date, so check the cafe’s Instagram, @kucik_kucik1214, first.
