Siam Road Char Koay Teow George Town

These days, char kuey teow has become synonymous with hawker food. When you think of hawker food, you can almost guarantee that char kuey teow is among them. After all, who does not like a hot plate of wok fried oily goodness? Maybe for those super health conscious people but even among them, there are some that go out of their routine once in a while to give in to their guilty temptations.

After all, we all need some good food once in a while to mend our worked out brains and “de-stress”. Located in the corner of Siam Road, the man who is running this business has been doing so for a long time and you can safely say business is still going good if not better by the day. Here’s the catch the stall is located not in the shop but outside. Even so, do expect for long waiting times, really. You will be looking at not ten minutes but probably an hour, so it is advisable not to come here when you are famished. The waiting time can be very frustrating.

But once the plate of goodness arrives at your table, you will know why it has been around for decades. No special ingredients, no special methods of cooking but just the classic wok on charcoal cooking method with a generous amount of pork lard. Now you can probably imagine its taste, the classic flavour with an added bonus to satisfy your cravings. Also, it comes with large slices of Chinese dried sausage for added goodness.
