Good char kuih teow is harder to come by in KL than honest salesmen, but as with them salesmen, every once in a while you do find one that aren’t part of the rule.
I’m still looking for that elusive salesman, but for char kuih teow, there is the stall at Win Heng Seng kopitiam at Jalan Imbi.
Win Heng Seng kopitiam also have a good dry yong tau foo
If you recall from earlier post, this Win Heng Seng kopitiam is the very same one that also has the really awesome pork noodle.
So anyway, I had 3 pieces of yong tau foo (RM 2.40) as appetizer while waiting for the char kuih teow (which tends to be a bit busy). The yong tau foo actually turned out pretty good. It was the type without soup, but soaked in chili and sweet sauce and topped with sesame. Delightful.
the char kuih teow, was really awesome except for the smallish prawns
Then of course, came the char kuih teow. The fatter type of flat noodle is used here, it had a good dose of “wok hei” going on. There were the usual beans spouts, blood cockles, those bits of “choi pou” (salted vege), and a couple smallish prawns you can’t exactly see.
While the prawns certainly did not impress, the taste of this char kuih teow was very good. So good that I don’t mind the lack of giant shrimps. It was a tad oily, a tad sinful, a tad salty, but exactly what a good plate char kuih teow should tastes like.
I am missing it already.
Other good char kuih teow in Klang Valley includes Robert’s at Seksyen 17,  Lau Wan (halal) and Aunty Gemuk (halal) at Kelana Jaya

my little Giant mt. bike – Terrago Team
In another news, I recently bought a mountain bike in order to burn all those foods that try to find their way to stay around my waist. It’s a Taiwanese bicycle with Japanese parts built in Malaysia.
Got the bike off a nice Malay chap from Shah Alam who was kind enough to transport it all the way to my house. I’m now waiting for a phone mount so that I can record some rides with Endomondo. Cycled to futsal last week and well, I survived. 😀
In case you haven’t read about it, here’s a story of how I hit a car’s side view mirror with a bicycle back in my high school days
I actually think the Jalan Alor char kueh tiaw is really good. There’s an auntie there right in the middle of the road who makes it. I don’t know if she’s still there but she was in 2003 (used to be a regular) and late last year too. I haven’t been to Jalan Alor since though.
Huai Bin: gotta walk there one of these days myself to give it a try. 😀
i hope they won’t mind if we ask to ‘tambah see hum.’ i like my CKT with more cockles than kuey teow 😀
Sean: can certainly try 😀
How many see hum was there in the ckt? i have a bias… I rate my ckt according to the see hum i get. heehehee
Michelle: well one can always ask for more seahum!
i dun want ckt, but i want the bicycle………:( hahahaha mom told me to lose weight first if i wanna buy a bicycle…must show result first…… torture….
clement: haha, work harder dude! but to me the bicycle is a tool to lose weight, no? 😀
how much did u pay for the bike??thought of getting one myself…shopping around…tq
jenson: i paid a tad over 2k for this bike, a used one from bicyclebuysell.com. i think new one goes for around 3 or so.
I think I have only eaten once this CKT, coz there’s always the other 2 food stalls. I think it’s ok lar…
JD: it is pretty good! 😀
u shud try the pork ball mee there! its good!
jian: I just did yesterday, yah it’s good!
Gonna be a himbo and drop a stupid comment;
“You were young enough to go high school before? *Gasp*”
Robb: shut up gay boy u will get old, by the yearsss 😛
