Penang is undoubtedly the land of food.
One of many tourists and locals’ must have in Penang is definitely the infamous Char Kuey Teow, but where to find the best one?
I’d recommend you to try this Famous Ah Leng Char Koay Teow @ Restoran Tong Hooi.
Few of the main ingredients in a plate of char koay teow are the flat noodles, cockles, bean sprouts (tauge) and prawns. The prawns in this char koay teow are really fresh, and the wok hei is definitely up to standards.
Most other states will serve Char Kuey Teow with chicken egg. Duck egg char kuey teow is a Penang specialty and here at Ah Leng, you can have it with duck egg too! You can also order this with mantis prawn, if you feel up for it.
My recommendation would be to go for the special char kuey teow which includes duck egg and big prawns – with this, it’ll make your char kuey teow superb!
