This dish is fried wth prawns, cockles and beansprouts, with some versions adding fish cakes, Chinese sausage and pork lard. The key ingredient for a good char kway teow is for the noodles to be fried over charcoal with enough "wok hei", ensuring the dish have a slight burnt taste to it.

The char kway teow was cooked with enough wok hei, giving that nice umami char. The dish is quite simple, served with beansprouts, fish cakes and prawns, but has the standard you will find in Penang, and this is evident from not only the flavour that the dish has in its entirety, but also from the prawns used. The dish only comes with 2 medium sized prawns, but has that sweetness and crunchy texture that is more commonly found in Penang. A highly underrated store in the heart of Bangsar. Definitely worth a visit.
