Early last month, I was having business trip back to Penang. I was craving for Char Koey Teow (CKT) for my breakfast on that morning. I was thinking where to find a good plate of CKT early in the morning where all the super famous CKT still not yet open for business. Ah Leng Char Koey Teow only opens at 9am. That time was still 7am. Hmmm …… Scratching my head to figure out …. suddenly Kafe Wahong bumped into my mind.
This coffee shop have nothing in special but since my early days where I was still in secondary school, they already famous for its CKT among FTZ workers.
Affordable priced CKT ranging from RM2 to RM6
This stall is there for more than 20 years and they still keep the way they fry the koey teow. Plate by plate.
Perfect proportion for a plate of char koey teow. Too many is not nice …. too little customer will not return
This stall’s signature way of serving the char koey teow at the edge of a plate
RM3 per plate come with 2 big prawns
This may look little …. but if you push the koey teow down, the portion is reasonable and just perfect.

Remark:
Any reason why it is placed on the side of the plate? Looks good though, wish it wasn’t so damn far though.
The reason he put it that way is to enable the waiter to be able to take multiple plates and serve it to tables. Like per trip that fella walk, he can take up to 6 plates on 2 hands.
This stall actually in Penang.
This one nice ar? I always eat the corner kopitiam, char koay teow by aunty one. :p
Will go try it out π

This one pawns that aunty stall. Taste a lot better. My all time favorite for morning CKT
Drrrrrrroooooooooooool … Looks fabulous! I too wonder why the signature “side of plate” serving style!
I miss Malaysia…

Penang la ….. KL where got such a good CKT. hehehe ….
The hand of the man looks wet… is it because of oil?
Love CKT for b’fast in the weekend π
.-= Selba´s last blog ..Huize Trivelli =-.
It was oil. Frying a plate of CKT has lots of oil flying around.
ah…. never try this shop. I always go to the other end where Allie mention. Will drop by and try soon. ^-^

Here taste matter and not the presentation.
I can smell the “wok hei” from my screen. Drooling!
.-= food-4tots´s last blog ..Chinese chicken salad =-.
I look back also drooling coz KL cannot get such quality CKT.
Sure glad to know about this place.

Give it a shot …. worth for the drive from town to Bayan Baru π
It must be delicious as you had already at half of the Kuey Teow before you took the pictures! π
.-= Big Boys Oven´s last blog ..Fai & Hui Seinβs Wedding =-.
I am guilty =.=|| I haven’t touch the CKT when taking the pix. A pinch or 2 only. Not 1/2 plate. π
I think the hokkien mee that you mention was located on the other end’s kopitiam π
Huh, why served at the edge of the plate? So weird lah!!
This is their style for no reason π
RM3 is really cheap! It looks good too!
Penang price leh ….. in KL if got RM3 I will take it every morning π
