You can get Char Kueh Tiao in any state in Malaysia, but none of them will measure up to a classic Penang version.

That being said, I don't think I've ever had a Char Kueh Tiao in Malaysia as pricey as this one, but then again I've never had one that's this generous with their varying ingredients.

Served on a piece of banana leaf on a paper plate, this version has the essential flat rice noodles (kueh tiao), fried with shrimps, Chinese sausages, cockles, eggs, beansprouts and chives. Simply satisfying, Penang has definitely set the benchmark for Char Kueh Tiaos.
