char koay teow-the ultimate favourite!

as i write this, books are waiting to be read...for my assignment which is due in a couple of days, but then i guess i better write a post before i have no readers left.hehe.penang has the best kick a** char koay teow, and might i daresay, in the world!! oh yeah!!! there's two version, one, the dry one (which is usually available in 99 percent CKT stalls you see, and the wet version,which sad to say, to this day, i havent tried) and i would think it will be wierd, anyways, i havent got a photo available here to show you,you can google it up, but then let me describe to you, what it taste like...hmm its oily(which is a nono for health freaks) but the oilyness is not that oily till you feel yucky...its just perfect(in case you havent notice, malaysians are never stingy with oil here, be it in curries,mamak food or fried stuff) lol. and the blend of those bean sprouts (that's mung bean to some of you) and flat rice noodle just blend in superbly..and some stalls reeeally do put in some effort to really fry the prawn til it taste juicy..oh my, saying this, it makes me salivate already! drools! anyway, one good shop you shud really go to is at penang road, which is located in a corner coffeeshop between kampung malabar and penang road...it sells for lunch and dinner but better be early...cos they might leave after lunch time is over to rest and prepare for dinner! i cant really recall the name of the coffeeshop, but it is the coffeeshop opposite kayu nasi kandar restaurant. Kayu is huge, so no one will miss it. Do try their fried rice too, which is also nice, and i always have the fried rice most of the time.another stall which is good would be at gurney drive hawker centre, one of the stalls nearer to gurney plaza, which has the signboard that reads "cantonment road ckt" or something like this.Sadly, the standard for the gurney ckt has dropped slightly as the guy frying it is old..and so, he lost his touch...the best char koay teow in penang is located in fettes park (and before you condemn me for not saying this earlier,hear me out first) however, after the western food stall shifted, i did not see his stall anymore.Argh! i really wanted to cry cos his ckt is the best handsdown! still looking for him...i hope he is somewhere around and if i do know, i will tell you where he is..that is all for now.sorry no pics yet...back to my mountain of assgmnt,have a nice day! :)
