I ate this plate of char kway teow some time ago so I have forgotten how much it costs. I tend to eat a plate of char kway teow once a week because I like to eat the kway teow, prawns and eggs but not the lard and not the slices of chinese sausage so I will request for them to be omitted if I know the stall/eatery includes them in the ckt dish.
I'm not a fan of chinese sausage too but I love having kerang in my CKT. It's a must for me.
ReplyDeleteI eat kerang (blood cockles) too but not a must.
Deleteoh i think I'm gonna love this one./.. haven't eaten mung bean sprouts for quite a while..i remember my mom cooked a dish with mung beans sprouts and she added tofu and beef with it...and with more sauce..
ReplyDeleteI like to eat these bean sprouts too. The dish your mom cooked sounds very tasty with tofu and beef with the bean sprouts.
DeleteI am opposite to you, I know the lard and Chinese sausages and not the prawns
ReplyDelete*I love
DeleteYou don't like all seafood?
DeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteYum indeed!
DeleteEveryone likes ckt.. I like mine with "sang hum" (raw cockles) and they will put the cooked noodles on top of the "hum", and extra taugeh and cili, yummzzz...
ReplyDeleteOh you like the blood cockles to be on the raw side eh? Some put chili before stir fying the CKT so the noodles are spicy.
DeleteI fried my own yesterday - very much cheaper than eating out, maybe just one third of the price per serving. Photo of that coming soon!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your handiwork!
Deleteoooh the CKT looks really good!!! no wonder your eat this once a week.. hmmm, I would instead like just the yellow noodles with no chili, and then to have the cockles fully cooked, haha!!
ReplyDeleteI like to eat the yellow noodles only too but they are not ckt because they are not kway teow and to me, they have a totally different taste to ckt but both I like.
DeleteAs long as you did not omit the see hum then I guess it is still fine...
ReplyDeleteThey did not giive me see hum in the above plate because it turned out to be someone else's order that says do not want see hum but later they made it up by giving me a bowl of see hum but at that time I finished the ckt already so I just ate the bowl of see hum on their own.
DeleteWhat the... the hum have to fry in the noodles together lah! Give in separate bowl is pretty pointless what? @.@ ... I probably will ban this place if they replace the hum for me like that..
DeleteIt was a misunderstanding. The person having that plate of Ckt gave it to me because I ordered first and waited quite a long time already without realising that she asked for the see hum to be omitted and I also did not realise it too until my plate was brought out with the see hum and she said oh no and then they have to do a new plate of CKT for her.
DeleteFunny hor!
DeleteI only see prawns, egg, taugeh and chives in your plate of CKT. I like mine with everything...see hum, fish cakes, Chinese sausages and, of course, lard included! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou see correct. You like fish cakes in ckt too? To me, fish cakes have no place in CKT and I will also asked for them to be omitted.
DeleteYes, I agree that fish cakes (like Chinese sausages) have no place in an authentic plate of ckt but I don't mind having a few pcs of it in mine. The Chinese sausages especially brings a fragrant taste to the ckt.
DeleteI find Chinese sausages on the sweet side and fatty too.
Deletei would ask for more lard if they have it
ReplyDeleteI give you the lard on my plate of noodle too.
DeleteI prefer my ckt without the cockles....Since u have been eating it once a week, any good ckt stall that u can recommend?
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ckt is in Imbi:

but closer to your place, you can go to the new Penang eatery at Kuchai Entrepreneur Park:

In PJ, I will go to eat CKT at O & S Restaurant.
That's nice - a once a week treat of char koay teow. I love it a lot with everything, fats and all hee..hee..
ReplyDeleteHee hee hee the lard has its own fragrant that most people like to eat.
DeleteI'd definitely eat this dish! I love prawns so much! It looks so delicious...
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love to eat all seafood.
DeleteMun, now I see it..i miss it!! Yummmmsss
ReplyDeleteFry your own CKT in US?
DeleteMun, this is my style of ckt...I don't mind the occasional Chinese sausages because it is only a thin slice or two.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they give 3 slices.
DeleteDefinitely looks like a good CKT!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is!
DeleteI like ckt, but don't want tau geh...
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Don't like the raw taste?
DeleteOh no....suddenly remind me that I long time not eat CKT.hahhah
ReplyDeleteSo tempting especially with the prawns and 'si hum'
Not eating CKT means better for health, I think. :)
DeleteI knew that we have same tastes for food! We should eat Char Koay Teow at the same time so that you could pass me all the lard and Chinese Sausage!!!
ReplyDelete...
So nice, don't waste!
Definitely will pass them to you.
