Some info on avoiding ceramic/diamond/marble coated woks - they cannot last for asian style cooking even with careful use of bamboo/wooden spatulas and avoiding metal objects for cooking/cleaning. They will scratch and peel.
Ceramic cookware still use teflon type coatings, its stated right in the features of the Korea King brand " Non-Stick Coating " which is basically some sort of ptfe coating. Swiss Diamond states on its websites that its products uses ptfe.

Thanks, I checked and there is a chinese restaurant and kitchen supply store in old town.
A nearby small hw shop sold cast iron and carbon steel woks but the carbon steel wok was deeply concave with a large long handle (for restaurant fryer) which is unsuitable for home use because it cannot sit upright on a smaller base on a home gas range.
Hi, don't know if this reply is too late but I bought my beautiful carbon steel wok from the corner shop opposite busy kopitiam in PJ Old Town. It's the 1st shop on Jalan 1/19 (with a fruit stall in front of it). It is finished perfectly with 2 half round ears for handles. Bought it for under RM70 less than 1 year ago. It was almost too beautiful to have to season it before 1st cooking! I was scouring all over for a wok & this was the only shop that sold a good quality carbon steel wok (others were irregular in shape and really rough around the edges). I recommend it highly.Ceramic cookware still use teflon type coatings, its stated right in the features of the Korea King brand " Non-Stick Coating " which is basically some sort of ptfe coating.
