"For a plate of old school lard laden char kuih teow, nothing beats the CKT stall at Kam Heong kopitiam in PJ State. The kuih teow used here is slightly fatter, and lard usage is rather generous as well. The operator previously operated at the other end of the same row of shops, but has since taken over at this new location directly next to UOB bank."

"Kam Heong kopitiam in PJ State is quite famous as the kuey teow served here is slightly fatter, and it comes with large amount of lard as well. Besides the char kuey teow cooked in Chinese char kway teow style and I would say it is definitely satisfying."

"This is probably one of the smallest portion Fried Kuey Teow I've ever seen. It does look pretty standard like elsewhere with average amount of lala and prawn in it. The kuey teow has soft and smooth texture, and it is not too oily, judging from the fact that usually Fried Kuey Teow is much more oily than this."

"For those who prefer pork free/halal char kuih teow, Aunty Gemuk at Restaurant Jamal Mohamed at Kelana Jaya serves up a pretty good dish. The CKT here is a little more moist, consistent with most Malay style CKT. Very flavourful and easy to eat, one of my favorite pork free CKT ever."

"The prawns given here are huge. Char Koay Teow has eggs, prawns, bean sprouts and the prawns are the highlight for some. You need large prawns for a good bowl of tasty char koay teow...I’d say probably the best char koay teow I have eaten thus far in Penang. This one goes to the top of my list. The oils and flavors blend properly. This is not a salty dish and the “wok hei” / 镬气 is present in the dish. "

"Khoon Hiang is located at Jalan Dato Keramat.Char Kuey Teow This char kuey teow is very tasty but the portion is very small. The prawns given are very big and chewy. They are very fresh and sweet. However, it is a bit oily for this char kuey teow."

"If you wish, you could have extra prawns for an additional RM2 (normal price RM4.50) But do note that the number of prawns given are not fixed, more towards size I guess. So you could get 8 regular sized prawns or 5 large ones. Nevertheless, they are sweet and sea-fresh with a nice crunch, just scrumptious."

vkeong.com

"This is so far the best Char Kuey Teow both of us had eaten for a long time, due to its spicy-ness, plus there are generous amount of large prawns and cockles too, it's not too oily as well."

Restoran Sun Hin Loong is located on 65, Jalan SS2/64, Petaling Jaya (North), 47300.
