Jalan Dato’ Kramat : Ah Leng Char Koay Teow

DSC00310

I was introduced to the biggest prawns char koay teow from Ah Leng. Ah Leng’s stall is at this corner coffeeshop between Jalan Dunlop and Jalan Dato Kramat. When you get to the former Federal Theatre, just look out for it. If I am not mistaken, there is a used car shop next to it.

I had this plate of char koay teow with prawns, mantis prawns, cockles and duck egg for RM8.50. Well, there are four giant sizes prawns, the biggest evar. So, I wouldn’t say it is expensive because one can never find prawns this huge.

Flavour wise, it is not exactly the most delicious as I found it too spicy and the chili overwhelmed the taste. However, who has the time for that whe there is the prawn in the mouth to make you forget everything momentarily?

    I saw this one on my way to Penang Hill. Didnt manage to try it, though i did try the Lan See Po Lorong Selamat and Sisters CKT.

    But hor, the portion of CKT in Penang is so small .. even though we paid for RM4 and above for it

    Well, Let me re-assure you that he is good…I heard he got style too..He only opens when he losses $ at tuff club and he closed during horse race days..

    Well, many good and fabulous hawkers in Penang woorks hard, play harder. I guess they are so good that the stalls flocked by customers and they need some rest to enjoy life.

    Ah leng is good. He is humble compared to Aunty char Koay Teow at Lrong Selamat.
