Siam Road Charcoal Char Kuey Teow
| Non-Halal
The only way to beat the line is to arrive before they even open! 😅
From a humble pushcart to a shop of their own, decades of hard work have made this charcoal Char Koay Teow legendary—drawing crazy long queues.
I rolled up just before 12 PM while the owner was still setting up, scored a table, and landed lucky number 4—I even caught a photo without the crowd 🤣! Once the wok was lit, we queued up by number to order.
To keep things moving, they use two clever tricks:
- Self-Service: You order, wait right at the frying station, and carry your own treasure back.
- Simple Menu: Just 3 options! No egg (RM9), Regular with egg (RM10), and Large with egg (RM13).
Although he fries in batches, the boss gives each plate a special final touch: cracking an egg over it for those last few tosses. This final touch gives the wok hei-filled ckt an outstanding creaminess!
Until next time—if I'm lucky enough to chance upon this place before they open again! 😅
