PENANG CHAR KEOW TEOW @ O&S RESTAURANT

Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Whenever I miss Penang Food, I will pop over to my regular coffee-shop -  Restaurant O&S in Petaling Jaya  for a good meal. As Penangites, coming from George Town, I love this place as it has many stalls selling Penang food. This time round I among other things, I had Penang Char Keow Teow. 

Char Keow Teow is flat rice noodles fried with bean sprouts, chives, slices of Chinese sausage, cockles and with the optional egg. For seasoning, soy sauce, chilli paste and garlic are added. The combo is fried with lard in a hot wok. The timing of adding the ingredients is essential to a flavorful dish.

Good Char Keow Teow will have the noodles spread over the wok and dancing so that the noodles will be slightly burnt - this brings out the flavor of the noodles. Egg are optional as some patrons like their noodles smooth without the distraction of the fried eggs. At RM5/= for a plate without eggs it is good value for money. With eggs at RM5-00.
Some stalls in Penang still fry it the traditional way - over a charcoal fire and offering an option of either chicken or duck eggs.

My Char Keow Teow came, it was nicely fried - with the noodles slightly burnt and the beans sprout a bit raw and crunchy. Overall, it is delicious with the garlic giving a good bite to my tongue. I had mine without eggs, and the smoothness and bounciness of the noodles just added to the experience. It would have been even better if they had added deep fried lard cubes, sinful but better. YummY!

O&S Restaurant has many stalls selling a good variety of hawker fare. For a brief rundown of what is available here see my blog HAWKER-STREET FARE @ O&S RESTAURANT.
