Ah Leng Char Koay Teow (Khoon Hiang Cafe)

One of the most famous and best CKT in Penang has to be this! You have the option of topping up for duck eggs which makes the CKT more aromatic and creamier. It's something you can't find in SG cos AVA doesn't allow sales of duck eggs. If you like spicy, the spiciness at Ah Leng can be a little disappointing cos there is no spicy kick. But on the brighter note, it allows you to taste more of the original.

Cost: RM8.50 + RM1 (Duck egg)

Ordered a plate to share. It’s really good, my only gripe was I found it a tad pricey. RM25 for a small plate but I guess that’s either inflation or Uncle figured I am not local. The char siu was only so-so, so just stick to the roast pork.

So order your own plate or for some, two plates! Since Siam Road Uncle has retired, we were wondering where to spend our calories. Ah Leng didn’t disappoint. We ordered the usual RM8.50 plate and found the prawns to be really large, good and fresh and I like the texture of the noodles.

Rather different from what I expected. Much lighter in taste (less oily, less black sauce) than the Singapore versions, but with lotsa wok hei and super fat prawns. 4 nombles.
