Jason Penang Cuisine (ABC Brickworks)

After 7.30pm, already alot of popular stores here closed liao. Read some good reviews about this place and decided to give it a try.

Prawns were fresh and price was quite affordable. Generous amount of lup cheong.

Ended up with a non spicy plate, guess I may have misheard the stall auntie, definitely will be tastier with chilli. Without it, just tasted a little bland. Next time, I will get the spicy version.

Strong, authentic flavour. But I couldn't find any sardine! At least not chunks of it. Sad.

My go to place for a consistently delicious Penang char kwey Teow with good wok hei.

Unlike most places which use frozen prawns , the prawns used by Jason Penang are freshly peeled prawns which impart so much flavour and texture to the dish - and by the way they are very generous with the use of their ingredients.

The kwey Teow texture is QQ and the bean sprouts are fried till perfect neither to raw or limp.
The fried kwey Teow is also well seasoned - not too salty or oily . Perfectly balanced in every aspect .

Michelin worthy .

As a person who love Penang’s Hokkien Mee so much i have to say this was far from being the authentic one. Sadly the soup base was very diluted and the way prepare was so different than the usual one.

Full of Penang laksa flavour and close to the ones in Penang. Yeah not better than the best there but good enough that you don’t have to fly there for your cravings. They also have Penang Hokkien mee (aka soup prawn mee in Singapore).

This plate of Penang char kway teow was full of Smokey wok hei with a good peanut fragrance ( presumably from peanut oil ). Fried with pork lard , this elevated the aroma of the fish .
You will be pleased that only fresh prawns are used - or rather 1 fresh prawn was used 😂 - that makes it still better than 2 frozen prawns 🍤.

One of the better Authentic Penang char kway teows cooked by a Penang born Chef.

Good to know that standards are always consistent too 😀
