Kedai Kopi Liong Huat Seng - Sungai Tiram Char Hor Fun
November 5, 2008 by email2me · 2 Comments
In Penang, there are a type of noodle which comes in big pieces. It somestime can be bigger piece than a spreaded Chee Cheong Fun but taste like typical koey teow. In Hokkien, they call it “TUA PAN“. Before you cook it, you will need to cut it into smaller piece.
In KL people call this “WAT TAN HOR” [Smooth Egg Koey Teow], Ipoh people call it “SAR HOR FUN” [SAND KOEY TEOW??] and Penang people call it “CHAR HOR FUN” [Fried Koey Teow]. Basically it is cooked the same way just come with a different name according to where it is sold. Our of this 3 I still prefer the Penang Char Hor Fun more than the rest.
Penang island has a few reputable Char Hor Fun restaurant which have been selling since the pre war time. They are Foo Heong [Cintra Street], Tai Tong and Kafe Tong Hooi. There are a hidden gem situated near a small place a long the Penang Airport runway called Sungai Tiram where it is right next to the air strip. When you dine here, you can see a lot plane take off or landing.
The Char Hor Fun stall actually is located within a small food court where they got sell seafood noodles as well.

Stir fried TUA PAN with rice vermicelli with soya sauce. This is prepared in advance to shorten the cooking time. They don’t fry much and put a side. They just cook it in advance because of the orders are coming non stop. Each time the TUA PAN are stir fried, the frying pan need to be cleaned before they can cook the gravy and the ingredients.

The TUA PAN running low …. time to fry some more to top up …
Stir Fry Tua Pan in action. The TUA PAN must fried until got a bit overcooked or in Hokkien called “CHAU HUI TAR” a bit. Without that, it is not enough kick in the Char Hor Fun.
Then the cravy are cooked and poured on top of the stir fried. The gravy are cooked with special boiled soup, corn starch to thicken it, CHAI SIM (dunno how to call this vege in english), prawns, pig liver and egg. It look simple to prepare but the skill to prepare it is not easy.
The it must be accompanied with pickled green chili. Without this, it doesn’t feel right when eating your Char Hor Fun.
See the bottom part …. a bit of the over cooked TUA PAN coated with soya sauce ….. That is the best part. We did order another plate of EE Mee which cooked the same way. That time myself and Daniel busy gawking down the Char Hor Fun already …. forgot to take picture of the EE FU MEE. It is basically looks the same with different noodle only.
