Penang Delight - Char Koay Teow


Char Koay Teow is one of the signature food in Penang, Malaysia. You can simply find it any food court or coffee shop in Malaysia especially Penang. However, if you happen to travel to Penang Island and you got to try this.

It basically flat rice noodle, shrimp, squid, a few drop of secret soy sauce, ground chili, egg, garlic, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts and handful of chives. Of course, it taste better it cook with lard. Also, a small piece of bananas leaf on the bottom of plate for the aroma when the piping finish product hit the plate. These ingredients looks easy to find but it require technique to make a plate of delicious 'Char Koay Teow'. Seriously, I like my extra chili and lot of it.

Unfortunately, it just hard to the yummy Char Koay Teow anywhere else but Penang. Looking forward to taste the delightful Char Koay Teow when I pay the small visit to Penang next round.
