Ah Leng Char Koay Teow
hAppYHapPy posted tailim.blogspot.com 740 ReviewsI find that this fried koay toew is too wet it could be better if Ah Leng fried it slightly drier....so the next time if you order your char koay teow from Ah Leng you should request it dry.
Weld Quay Restaurant (Tree Shade, 大树脚)
The food is fantastic!! The food serving is even faster than any fast food restaurant. The most wonderful thing about this restaurant is that before you can even sit down comfortably while enjoying the complimentary fish cracker/ papadam with curry fish sauce as appetizer, your dish would be served.
Kenhuntsfood posted www.kenhuntfood.com 780 ReviewsPrice-wise, was affordable for most dishes, but try to ask for price quotation first before you place your order if you are on a tight budget. Their fast-service was something impressive as well, so need not to worry on the time it takes to serve the food.

New World Park Food Court
LEE ENG LAI, now in his late fifties, recalls that his grandfather Lee Kar Tee and grand uncle Lee Ah Keat started selling ice kacang as a roving stall in the Jalan Rangoon area in 1923. His father, Ah Kang (Kar Tee’s son), later inherited the stall and moved it to a permanent position. Eng Lai, his brother Eng Huat and sister Ah Kee (above) have been involved in running the stall since the 1960s, when it was next to a snooker bar. Originally, in the 1920s, a bowl of basic ice kacang cost half a cent, now it is RM1.50. Early in 2007, the stall moved into the new New World Park (Sin Sei Kai) food court opposite with ample parking.
postedGoodTried the famous Swatow Lane ice kacang, it's okay but not worth a detour.

Go for the CKT and Lor Bak. If you still have space, go for the kuey teow th'ng.
ojsiew posted ojsiew.blogspot.com 633 ReviewsI prefer char kuey teow that is not 'wet'. The consistency and the texture of the noodles is just right. The duck egg managed to enhance the aroma of this plate of simple char kuew teow with 3 reasonably big prawns!

postedSuperbMy wife love the Char Koay Kak, while I like the Chee Cheong Fun (RM 2 for 2).
Kafe Heng Huat 興發茶室
Kuey Teow was fried under charcoal fire.
postedSo soI think it's too overpriced (starting from RM 8.50), and pay RM 3 for the parking next door. Taste wise it's okay, with 3 big prawn, but nothing too fantastic to justify premium pricing.

Motormouth posted www.j2kfm.com 552 ReviewsTheir rendition of a dense “Malaysian pancake” filled with an omelette wrapped within an extremely thin (almost filo-like) crispy layer of dough (I had their roti telur), and paired with a tremendous beef curry was second to none.
