Char Kway Teow Jakarta Style

Beside rice, people here eat a lot of noodle. Bakmi is everywhere. We hardly see people eating bihun or kway teow.

When I first staying here permanently, I missed most Bak Kut Teh, curry noodle, roti chanai and Char Kway Teow. Until one day my friend took me to a local hawker stall run by a Medan origin. His fried Kway Teow reminded me Penang's Three Sisters.

Picture below was taken when we ate at a shop near Kapuk area. Egg, pork with extreme high heat frying. Wonderful!

But, where is the cockle "si-ham"?

Penang Char Kuey Teow, the best?

What is the best food in Penang? Plenty you will say.

But where can we enjoy the best Char Kuey Teow?
Penang? Probably.

And, where is the most expensive Char Kuey Teow serving?
Penang, probably.



Giant prawn, they are juicy, springy and fresh! Kuey Teow was fried under charcoal fire. I love the aroma. RM6.50 per small plate? I can eat 3 sets with no regreat. My stomarch will thank my wallet for life.





Compare with the Kuey Teow, my stomarch did not appreciate these Poh Piah that much.


Well, this is the small shop atLorong Selamat. I think it serve better Char Kuey Teow than the "Sisters". Althought "Sisters" has secreat weapon - crab meat.
