I did not really enjoy this bowl as much as I did other similar type of noodles. Firstly I found that the sauce was a little dark and heavy with sweet soy. Secondly the noodles were not very consistent as some was thicker that others and when you get a thick one it is very 'jelak' / 'chai'. On the other hand the bowl was big and ingredients was a very generous amount for the price. So maybe it is someone else's cup of tea.

Really good Penang style Char Keuy Teow which is light red (with chilli) and quite dry. I think it is great tasting but not exactly to my taste because I like dark and wet! But for it's type it is really good. Nice crunchy bean sprouts and generous amounts of egg.

Wet and dark, this Char Keuy Teow is not your standard Penang style which is light coloured and drier. Normally this plate arrives quite soggy and looks a little burnt with black bits around, but it does not lack in taste. It is quite heavy with dark soy which leaves a little bitter taste, but the bean sprouts (taugeh) is always crunchy. Really fits my taste and therefore this is quite high up in my list of best Char Keuy Teow. This stall also cooks hokkien mee in the morning!

This was the first stall I've had hand pulled Pan Mee and absolutely loved it! The serving is quite small at first glance, but because this type of noodles is very filling the serving is just nice for me. Taste wise, this stall's pan mee is very balance, light but just enough of everything.

This is my absolutely favorite Curry mee! What sets this bowl apart from the rest is the soup base that is just right in the amount of coconut and is not over boiled. Also although the soup base is quite 'lemak' it is not thick just to be thick, but has a lot of depth in it's flavor. Somehow the noodles is done just right too and never too soft. Amount of other ingredient is just right to accompany the size. Until I find a better tasting curry mee, this is my benchmark.
