Char kuew teow..doesn’t taste like char kuew teow at all, more like a unholy mix of Malay wet and Chinese char kuew teow…disappointed but at least it is fried with 猪油炸, something I haven’t ate in a very long time

Hokkien mee…when I saw cabbage on it, I already feel the disappointment… :x
In the end, fail also..idk how describe, like missing something in the soup, taste absolutely not like prawn soup.

This restaurant depends on mood of Chef/Cook.

You can politely ask for more wok hei & pork rind, less wet CKT. whistling.gif

U should check the review…it’s like those Malaysian stay in oversea countries that review 4-5 stars, all tastebud rosak or something.

I see the reviews my hope and expectation so sky high…I tot it’s finally I found a restaurant with unadulterated Malaysia cuisine. Manatau…

Yes, never fail to put me to tears. It’s always good to be home.

But too bad, this time my “kampung” is rural Japan up in Ishikawa wink.gif

At least your CKT looks like CKT, the one i had in the US. CKT kosong, only noodles + onion + chili sauce + little bit of egg. price USD9. ordered it because Menu said "Penang Char Kuey Teow". Kena Scam 99

Just buy ticket balik Mahrehsia again lah.

You can open Malaysian cuisine restaurant in Japan too, you can win over Penang restaurant. Unholy green cabbage in hokkien mee not acceptable. Must be cooked pale lel.

Open by Malaysian or Japanese? I think they already butchered the recipe to cater to the local tastebud.

I hope so…but damn, whole night I watch each plate of CKT all look the same and smell the same including the tapao I had to bring back to my waifu since she insisted I tapao even though I protested
