Fried Koay Teow
Fried Koay Teow is probably the most popular hawker food among the locals. This dish uses flat rice noodles of roughly one centimetre in width. The noodle are fried in an iron cast wok over very high heat. the wok is preheated for few seconds over strong fire. Oil is added into the wok followed by a small amount of minced garlic and fresh prawns. The prawns are fried until semi-cooked. Noodles are added, followed by a dash of seasoned soy sauce, bean sprouts, eggs and chives. The last ingredient added is the cockles, as is it usually eaten medium cooked. The perfect Fried Koay Teow should neither be too wet nor too dry. The superb taste of this dish is a combination of the strong fragrance of the sauteed ingredients and the sweetness of the prawns. It is best eaten immediately when served. A basic plate should cost between RM3.50 to RM4.50 and the cpiciness depends on the amount of chilli paste. Yummy...
