Nothing beats a nice plate of hot "Char Kway Teow" - Malaysia

10th March 2017 - Fried Kway Teow. Or better known as "char kway teow" by the locals, is among one of the favorites fried noodle dish for the local Chinese Malaysian . It was such a favorite that the Malays did their own halal version of it as well excluding the pork ingredient.

Truth be told, not every single plate of "char kway teow" is the same. The 2 most common ones are the Penang Fried Kway Teo which are lighter in color and our Klang Valley ones, which are darker in color. Common ingredients such as, prawns, bean sprouts, fish cakes, small claps, egg and others can be found in both variant. Best served on top of the banana leave. Sometime you might even find "char kway teow" with duck egg. Which is not that widely available.

You might be surprise that the best "char kway teow" out there are not those served in a 5 star restaurant. Good "char kway teow" can be found on some of the rundown old street stall or even in "Pasar Malam" (night market). And the most common place you can find is at the hawker center (Chinese version) or food courts (halal version)

So the next time you visit Malaysia. Don't forget to give "char kway teow" a try.
