Ah Leng Char Koay Teow introduced by Nex Carlos

 I get to know of this place from the famous Indonesian food blogger, Nex Carlos. 

The one visited by Nex Carlos is operated by Ah Leng's daughter, whereas Ah Leng himself still sells Char Koay Teow at his shop in Air Hitam.

Ah Leng's Char Koay Teow is famous for the large peeled prawns.

I tried the Koay Teow once and am impressed by the combination of spiciness, wok-hei, umami ness of the large prawns.

The above is the RM9, which includes 2 large prawns.

The above is the special version, which is RM14 which includes servings of mantis shrimp. I find the mantis shrimp doesn't add much to the taste of the char koay teow.

Conclusion: The char koay teow is above average in taste. The combination of the large prawn adds to the taste of the char koay teow. The price is above average in Penang but tasting it is worth the money. 

Cheers... 

Petaling Jaya SS2 Maggi Goreng

I was having one of the best maggi goreng...ever

Located at SS2 Petaling Jaya is a stall called Misai's maggie goreng.

Above: Teh Tarik

 The maggie goreng or fried maggie (instant noodles)

 It's an open air sitting area.

Where friends usually hang out and chat over maggie goreng or supper.

Noodles

Noodles are a common streetfood dish in Asia.

Not only the Chinese eats noodles as meals or streetfood.

Rojak

Happen to try this stall called Singapore Famous Rojak at Albert Market (in Bugis).

Here is the fruit salad covered in peanut sauce.

Katong Laksa at Queensway

Wow, I detect Japanese Katakana. 328 Katong Laksa at Queensway shopping centre.

Photos showing the celebrities posed with the stall owners were evident on the stall front.

The bowl of laksa. It's a sinful bowl of coconut milk curry, containing high amounts of coconut oil.

Singapore Chicken Rice

I love Chicken Rice. Originally a Hainanese streetfood, it has became perhaps the best known Chinese hawker food.

The above typically served if ordered a set meal.

The chicken meat are chopped and laid on a serving of sliced cucumbers/tomatoes and soaked in sesame/soy oil.

The set comes with a soup and Chinese green vegetables.

rating 8/10.

Sino-Nasi Lemak

Speaking of Nasi Goreng as originally a Chinese dish, Chinese people also adopt local dishes as their own, more like their take on it.

Nasi Lemak is perhaps the unofficial national dishes of Malaysia and Singapore.

People of all races eat nasi lemak.

A Chinese hawker stall selling nasi lemak. this dish that I ordered, comes with fried tofu strips, stir-fried long-beans, curry cabbage (咖喱菜) and sambal.

 This version is a bit sino-fied. It differs from the Malay version with less emphasis on Sambal and ikan bilis/peanuts.
