Last weekend I had a mission to go get some feeder shrimps from an aquarium shop to serve as some sort of living filter cleaner for the newly christened water planter/pond filter for our garden. After that mission was completed, it was of course, time for breakfast.

Update 2024: there’s a new operator taking over this spot now, the CKT is quite decent

I went around Klang town a bit and ended up at the food court right across the road from Sei Ngan Chai BKT and the “Hilton” wantan mee place looking for something to eat, and this is when I realised I should give this char kuih teow stall a try, mainly just by looking at how many trays of eggs they have right next to the wok.

I took a seat next to the stall and ordered a plate without any specific instructions. About 20 odd minutes later, the plate of char kuih teow arrived, and it looked pretty legit I must say. There’s chives, bean sprouts, cockles, prawns, egg, and properly fried kuih teow that’s ever so slightly charred on certain pieces, indicative of good wok-hei.

And yep, this is one char kuih teow worth eating if you’re tired of bak kut teh at Klang. The banner outside says “Jalan Batai” char kuih teow, which would suggest that perhaps it was from Seng Lee kopitiam which has since closed down after the revamp of the whole area. I did not ask the proprietor, but this version certainly tastes as good.

      Sean: unfortunately sri petaling isn’t the center of Klang Valley, there’s a reason Klang Valley starts with Klang!

    Hi KY, just to share with you, opposite this food court there is a bakkutteh store operating together with a CKT store as well, the old couple from Penang are operating the CKT and the Uncle usually give a lot of “liao” like lapcheong and siham, very generous ! I like it! Most important still reasonable at rm5.50 , hard to find these days!

    It’s now 2024 and I was wondering if anyone knows if the “Jalan Batai” CKT is still in business in Klang?

      Amy: they’re not, the stall has a new operator now, the CKT is not bad but maybe not 100% as good as the “jalan batai” version.
