Char Kuey Teow @ Say Huat, Section 17

A good place for Char Kuey Teow in Section 17 - available from morning till night...

Possibly one of the biggest (food related) debates in Malaysia would be: Where to get the best Char Kuey Teow?? :)

Usually, there will be insistence that the best CKT can only be found in Penang (O' Haven of Yummy Food), but what are we Selangor people to do? We need convenient options that are not a couple of 100 kilometers away! :)

With that in mind, presenting CKT @ Say Huat (near the Section 17 market):
Looking at Say Huat from the car park area...

Being a normal coffeeshop, don't expect any bells and whistles - just a simple interior, with the typical coffeeshop plastic chairs and tables (with a couple of beer posters on the wall for good measure):
A look into Say Huat....

The CKT (RM4 for small size, RM4.50 for large size):
My CKT! :)....

Yum.
The noodles were kinda soft (but not too soft) and tasted spicy, fragrant and overall, yummy. There was also a fair amount of plump prawns, taugeh and chinese sausage slices to complement the noodles.
(Really hits the spot when you're craving for carby comfort food)
(Hmmm... you'll have to try it yourself though to see whether you like it... Food "nice-ness" is already so subjective, and even more so when it comes to the much loved CKT! Haha....)

We also tried a Tom Yam soup (RM?), which according to Babe! had moved over to the coffeeshop next door....
(... but since she is a regular customer, they agreed to send it over):
Piping hot Tom yum....

I liked it. :)
It's just a simple tomyam but it's tasty, sour and spicy enough to satiate any cravings.

Thanks for bringing me to this place, Babe! It was nice having lunch with you and TNG that day.
(Hope we can do lunch again soon - have to wait till my work schedule becomes a bit better...)
:)

So, it's: Good char kuey teow, convenient location for PJ folk, available morning till night BUT nothing bad to say :)....

  8. Ooh remember reading it at Bangsar Babe's blog ages ago... always meant to try but never did get around to it. Somehow CKT and the Klang Valley just doesn't gel in my head!

    :-D

  12. to backStreetGluttons:
    Haha. Well, I suppose since Penang is the place where CKT is supposed to be originally from, that's why they all claim to have authentic Penang CKT recipes?
