Bukit Mertajam Famous Char Koay Teow
| Share |
Ah.. Bukit Mertajam 大山脚’s famous duck egg char koay teow.. it’s been so long since I have eaten this. I have introduced this three brothers’ char koay teow before in my previous post so head there if you want to know more.
The Hakka uncle remains a chirpy fellow and always smiling while frying. He was so happy when I told him his char koay teow is great and smiled for the camera.
The price has gone up though, normal order costs RM2.50 while a big plate costs RM3.00 now. An extra duck egg sunny side up would be 70 cents.
And finally I get to take a clear shot of his famous char koay teow, which was the greater reason I returned. My older photos were really blurry and not interesting at all. However, if you are a health conscious person you better think twice before coming because the amount of lard used is really a lot. On a second note, any BM kia has recommendations for nice CKT in BM area? I spend most of my days in Penang island now so I don’t have much time to go explore. Appreciate it if you can share, thanks.

The Char Koay Teow stall outside Kedai Kopi Sin Guat Keong is one of the oldest in Penang that has been around for more than half a century. Currently manned by Ah Sean, the stall was actually started by his father, which was later passed on to him. Besides being the pioneer to include mantis
‘Keh Liao’ Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee) @ Old Green House, Burma Road
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
Old Green House restaurant (老青屋) is a popular place among Penangites to have Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle in other Malaysian states) either as dinner or supper. Although the noodle is also available in the morning at another ‘day shift’ stall, most of the working people only have the opportunity to savor it after working
Phor Thor (Hungry Ghost Festival) @ Jalan Pasar, Bukit Mertajam
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
I bet you already know that it’s the Hungry Ghost Festival currently. During the Ghost Month the realms of Heaven and Hell are open, which releases ghosts, spirits including those of the deceased ancestors to roam the living world. So, the Chinese are often advised to stay at home and prevent from going out late

Apom Manis is a common food in Penang originating from India that resembles crepes, popular for breakfast or just snacking. One of the oldest apom manis stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Solok Moulmein in Pulau Tikus. It all started back in 1920 and the family-run business has been operating
Sate Zainah Ismail Best Satay In Town @ Jalan Keramat, KL
about 1 year ago - 24 comments
As you might already know I am desperately looking for a satay in Klang Valley that could rival, and perhaps even better than those that I had in Singapore which I hate to admit is still the best I ever had to date. So when two of my fellow readers recommended Sate Zainah Ismail at
Shunka Japanese Restaurant @ Maju Utama Business Centre, Bukit Mertajam
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
There aren’t many Japanese restaurants in BM so I am glad that Shunka Japanese Restaurant at Maju Utama Business Centre is a good one. This business centre is also home to a number restaurants and cafes like Bloggers Cafe, Station 1 and Old Town. Currently it is the most popular venue to hang out in
Bloggers Cafe Fusion Food @ Maju Utama Business Centre, Bukit Mertajam
about 1 year ago - 15 comments
Usually when a new cafe opens I am quite hesitant to blog about it, fearing that it would close down not long after. Can’t blame me for having that feeling, as many cafes do come and go in a short period. My skepticism was even stronger because the cafe has a rather corny name –
Lor Bak @ Kedai Kopi Seng Thor, Lebuh Carnavon
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
One of the oldest hawker stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnavon. Seng Thor is particularly famous its Lor Mee but I feel the Lor Bak here deserves a better mention. The uncle has been selling his home-made lor bak daily without fail for
Sri Bistari Famous Nasi Ayam Penyet @ Changi Village
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
To be honest, I haven’t tried a lot of Indonesian food but I can vouch my love for Ayam Penyet, this wonderful traditional dish that originates from Subaraya. Smashed fried chicken served with rice and spicy hot sambal, so simple yet so additively delicious. Not too far away from Tampines at Changi Village is Sri
Q Wok Nyonya Curry House @ Taman Bayu Mutiara, BM
about 1 year ago - 11 comments
A recent visit to Q Wok Nyonya Curry House at Taman Bayu Mutiara near Autocity had us delighted over the good and affordable home cooked traditional Nyona dishes. Most of the dishes have three sizes from small to medium to large and the pricing is justified for the clean environment as well as an efficient

Aha… this is one of my favourite too…. He has another brother selling CKT in Taman Inderawasih, in one of the corner shop.

Yumm… I will find 1 day to visit this uncle. Anyway, I find that there are some differences in term of taste from Penang island compare to BM. For Penang char koay teow i find it more spicy and saltier. May be most of Penang people are Hokkien.

Hi! Can i know the exact location of this CKT place at BM? Thanks.
about 4 years ago
i love it! there are two other stalls selling it. if i’m not mistaken, they are relatives. one is next to the taxi station while the other is opposite Kay Seven tuition center.

@MyF, thanks
@coketai, only roadside char koay teow rox!
@NKOTB, I haven’t try the one in Taman Inderawasih.. I just check it out one day
@Steven Goh, Yes you are right. In the island, the char koay teow is spicier and not as dark. We use more dark soya sauce here
@Lisa, It’s located directly opposite BM’s country club. Or you can head to BM’s taxi station and train station at night to find the other 2 brothers’ stalls. They are equally good but I like this one the most
@ys_nocturne, Yes, they are brothers lo. The newest to open, I thought is his son hahaa. You are right about the other 2 locations
You must be a fan too haha

Needed to say that this famous Char Koay Teow is fried by charcoal instead of gas.
RM2.50 is still reasonable because we can hardly find this dish in other place..
Great~
