Today, we are going to introduce to all our readers on the famous Hawker Food that can be easily found in Penang.
Being a fan of Char Koay Teow, I hunt around Penang Island for the best one. Penang is very famous for having the best Char Koay Teow in Malaysia and what's more if we can find the BEST in Penang?
Ah Leng Char Koay Teow. It is located opposite the famous Stadium Curry Mee.
Many of you have heard of him, if you are a local Penangnite.
Ah Leng Char Koay Teow is famous for having a special chili sauce to fry the Koay Teow.
What makes it tasty is, it is fried with pork oil (non-halal) and using charcoal to fry the koay teow.
Ah Leng Char Koay Teow RM 5.00 (Regular)
Ah Leng, the cook is also good at controling the amount of oil used to fry the koay teow. If you notice, the fried koay teow served is less oily than many of the other famous stalls in Penang.
The taste of it? Superb, not too spicy, just tasted good enough.
A cup of fresh orange juice RM1.60 to refresh after having a good meal.
