Pnang Char Koay Teow

The Penang char koay teow is long revered by many, travellers and locals alike, and though this hawker dish is available throughout any of the states in Malaysia, none seemed able to live up to the Penang version.Loved by many and one of the must-eat Penang hawker fares when visiting this northern state in Malaysia, the Penang char koay teow is a combination of seafood, pork, vegetables and sauces that perfectly add flavours to the otherwise plain, and rather tasteless, flat rice noodles.  

This aunty is probably the most famous Penangite in our country. One might even label her a celebrity. She’s known for her manners and of course, her food.Notorious for her arrogance but can’t be denied that her Char Kway Teow is good in terms of taste. Smoky wok fragrance, NOT greasy and wet, big juicy prawns, plump bloody cockles (hell yes!), chinese wax sausages and whatever else you would expect from a satisfying plate of Char Kway Teow!
