Every once in a while I get this from my colleagues:

“Eh KY ni selalu makan babi saja, bila nak blog makanan halal?

So here’s one! Another Char Kuih Teow place that serves good old fashion halal version of my favorite Penang dish. This time at Restaurant Jaya in SS5 by the name of Lau Wan Char Kuih Teow.

Note: this place has moved to the food court on Jalan SS 3/33 (http://goo.gl/maps/fOI4l).

Restaurant Jaya is situated a stone’s throw away from the slightly more famous Aunty Gemuk CKT at restaurant Jamal Muhammad, another halal CKT operated by Chinese stall owner in a Muslim restaurant. 1Malaysia, my friends.

Lau Wan’s version of CKT is slightly different from your typical Penang style. The end product is quite a lot wetter, with prawns still in their shells and a side of soya sauce with cili padi. Other ingredients are your typical egg, cockles, bean sprouts, chives, and tiny pieces of chai poh (salted vegetable).

I was initially a bit skeptical, but the CKT turned out to be rather good, with plenty of “wok hei”, plenty of zest. This is a must try especially for Muslim friends.

At restaurant Jaya, a RM 4 plate of CKT is best accompanied by a set of tauhu bakar (BBQ taofu) that is packed with rojak sauce, nuts, bean sprouts, and shredded cucumber for RM 2.40.

We had the CKT at night, but I’m quite positive this stall is operational over breakfast/lunch time too (correct me if I’m wrong).

    Hi KY, this is my first time visiting your blog! Awsum food pics~

    Was wondering if you could introduce me to some nice (and cheap) food in KL, cos I will be visiting there soon! I’m not familiar with KL at all and wonder where I can get nice food. 🙄 I will be staying v near the Petronas Tower.. so if there are places with good food nearby.. do let me know. Thanks!

    Eh, you know sometimes at those gerai-gerai or warung right, you can get pre-cooked Malay style Char Kuey Teow?
    I like those! Sweetish with a spicy kick.
    Definitely under-rated lah ….

    KY,

    First time visit your Blog .. Thank for the nice food introduction.

    I drop by to Lau Wan’s Shop try the Char Kueh Teow after saw your blog. But I found out they are not using “tiny pieces of chai poh (salted vegetable).” as you mention on your blog, if I not mistaken that was a “Bawang Putih”.

    AnyHow, Thank for the Recommendation.
