Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena
“The most famous Char Koay Teow in Georgetown. It's sensational, with a spicy, savory, smoky flavor from the 'wok hei' (breath of the wok). Contains rice noodles, bean sprouts, chives, big juicy prawns, cockles, duck egg (for extra creaminess), and pork lard. Prawns are perfectly cooked, sweet, and crispy.”
